Abstract

Abstract The regiospecific reduction of 4,6-dinitrobenzimidazole derivatives leading to the corresponding 4-amino-6-nitrobenzimidazoles was studied. The identification of the formed product structures was accomplished by spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction data. The anticancer and antiparasitic activities of the synthesized compounds were examined, and promising activities against Toxoplasma gondii and Leishmania major parasites were discovered for certain 4,6-dinitrobenzimidazoles in addition to moderate anticancer activities of the 4-amino-6-nitrobenzimidazole derivatives against T. gondii cells. However, the tumor cell experiments revealed a promising sensitivity of p53-negative colon cancer cells to these compounds.
