Popis: A series of Hoechst 33258 based mono- and bisbenzimidazoles have been synthesized and their Escherichia coli DNA topoisomerase I inhibition, binding to B-DNA duplex, and antibacterial activity has been evaluated. Bisbenzimidazoles with alkynyl side chains display excellent E. coli DNA topoisomerase I inhibition properties with IC50 values 32 μg/mL). Bisbenzimidazoles showed varied stabilization of B-DNA duplex (1.2−23.4 °C), and cytotoxicity studies show similar variation dependent upon the side chain length. ...
