1-Substituted 2-Benzylaminobenzimidazoles with Phenyl Methoxyls: Synthesis, Computer Prediction, and Pharmacological Activity

Condensation of 1-substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles with aromatic aldehydes produced the corresponding azomethines, reduction of which by sodium borohydride afforded 1-substituted 2-benzylaminobenzimidazoles. The Microcosm information technology (IT) tool was used to assess in silico the potential for antiarrhythmic, antiaggregant, antioxidant, hemorheologic, and antiglycating activity in this series of compounds. Pharmacological screening identified which of the synthesized compounds were active. It was shown that the computer predictions correlated with the experimental data.
