Abstract

The synthesis of some potentially active 2-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles and pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-2(1H)-ones by the cyclization of 4-alkoxyvinyl trifluoro(chloro)methyl ketones with 2-aminobenzimidazole is described. The structure of the products was assigned based on ¹H and ¹³C NMR as well as 2D-NMR experiments. Some of the obtained products exhibited significant DNA-topoisomerase I inhibitory activity.

Key words

2-aminobenzimidazole - pyrimidobenzimidazole - enones - halogenated heterocycles - DNA-topoisomerase I inhibitory activity
