Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Amino and Amido Substituted Pentacyclic Benzimidazole Derivatives as Antiproliferative Agents.

ABSTRACT: Newly designed pentacyclic benzimidazole derivatives featuring amino or amido side chains were synthesized to assess their in vitro antiproliferative activity. Additionally, we investigated their direct interaction with nucleic acids, aiming to uncover potential mechanisms of biological action. These compounds were prepared using conventional organic synthesis methodologies alongside photochemical and microwave-assisted reactions. Upon synthesis, the newly derived compounds underwent in vitro testing for their antiproliferative effects on various human cancer cell lines. Notably, derivatives 6 and 9 exhibited significant antiproliferative activity within the submicromolar concentration range. The biological activity was strongly influenced by the N atom's position on the quin
