Synthesis, toxicity and antioxidant activity of phenolic benzimidazole derivatives: In vitro and in silico studies by Mithun Rudrapal, Mohammad Mojammil, Azmal Farooque, Masoom Ansari, André M. de Oliveira, Johra Khan

“…Acute toxicity tests assessed in zebrafish reveals a concentration-dependent toxic effect. 3a lethal dose measured to kill 50 % of test fishes was 3.163 mg/L, and 1.88 mg/L for 3b Antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH radical scavenging assay, with compound 3a demonstrating higher radical scavenging efficiency than 3b Molecular docking studies indicated that both compounds interact with NAD(P)H oxidase, with 3b showing a stronger binding affinity due to additional functional groups facilitating enhanced interactions, with H-bond interactions between 3a phenolic OH and Pro 696 and between benzimidazole NH and Asn 710, as well as H-bond interaction between 3b benzimidazole NH and Glu 482, and steric interactions between 3b O-ether and Tyr 481 and between aromatic ring and Ser 564. …”
