Abstract

Piperazine derivatives of 5(6)-substituted-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylthio)acetic acids were synthesized by using two methods and studied for antihelminthic activity.The antiparasitic screening showed that compounds 18–24 exhibited higher activity against Trichinella spiralis in vitro in comparison to methyl 5-(propylthio)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl-carbamate (albendazole). Most active were compounds 2-({2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}thio)-1H-benzimidazole 21 and 2-{[2-oxo-2-(4-benzhydrylpiperazin-1-yl)ethyl]thio}-5(6)-methyl-1(H)-benzimidazole 19 as well as 2-({2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}thio)-5(6)-methyl-1(H)-benzimidazole 23 with efficacy of 96.0%, 98.4% and 100%, respectively.The tested derivatives 15–19 and 20–23 were less active against Syphacia obvelata in vivo than albendazole and exhibited the same efficacy as piperazine, but in twice lower concentration.Compounds 2-({2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}thio)-1H-benzimidazole 21, 1,4-bis[(5(6)-methyl-1(H)-benzimidazol-2-ylthio)acetyl]piperazine 17 and 2-({2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}thio)-5(6)-methyl-1(H)-benzimidazole 23 had higher efficacies of 73%, 76%, and 77%, respectively.

Graphical abstractPiperazine derivatives of 5(6)-substituted-1H-benzimidazol-2-ylthioacetic acids were synthesized by using two methods and studied for antihelminthic activity.Significant activity of the compounds against Syphacia obvelata in vivo and against Trichinella spiralis in vitro was ascertained by the parasitological screening.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
