Benzimidazol-2-yl or benzimidazol-2-ylthiomethyl benzoylguanidines as novel Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitors, synthesis and protection against ischemic-reperfusion injury

A novel series of benzimidazol-2-yl or benzimidazol-2-ylthiomethyl benzoylguanidines were designed and synthesized as Na+/H+exchanger inhibitors. Most of them were found to inhibit NHE1-mediated platelet swelling in a concentration-dependent manner, and to have significant cardioprotective effect against myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury, among which compounds 10a and 34 were more potent than cariporide in both in vivo and in vitro tests.

Novel benzimidazol-2-yl or benzimidazol-2-ylthiomethyl benzoylguanidines were designed and synthesized as Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitors. Most of them possess significant cardioprotective effects.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
