One of the scaffolds used in several drugs for the treatment of parasitic diseases is the benzimidazole moiety, a heterocyclic aromatic compound. This compound is a crucial pharmacophore group and is considered a privileged structure in medicinal chemistry. In this study, the benzimidazole core served as a model for the synthesis of a series of 2-(2-amino-5(6)-nitro-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-N-arylacetamides 1-8 as benznidazole analogues. The in silico pharmacological results calculated with PASS platform exhibited chemical structures highly similar to known antiprotozoal drugs. Compounds 1-8 when evaluated in silico for acute toxicity by oral dosing, were less toxic than benznidazole. The synthesis of compounds 1-8 were carried out through reaction of 5(6)-nitro-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine (12) with 2-chlroactemides 10a-h, in the presence of K 2 CO 3 and acetonitrile as solvent, showing an inseparable mixture of two regioisomers with the-NO 2 group in position 5 or 6 with chemical yields of 60 to 94%. The prediction of the NMR spectra of molecule 1 coincided with the experimental chemical displacements of the regioisomers. Comparisons between the NMR prediction and the experimental data revealed that the regioisomer endo-1,6-NO 2 predominated in the reaction. The in vitro antiparasitic activity of these compounds on intestinal unicellular parasites (Giardia intestinalis and Entamoeba histolytica) and a urogenital tract parasite (Trichomonas vaginalis) were tested. Compound 7 showed an IC 50 of 3.95 µM and was 7 time more active against G. intestinalis than benznidazole. Compounds 7 and 8 showed 4 times more activity against T. vaginalis compared with benznidazole.

X-ray diffraction showed that these complexes are composed of 2a = [Zn(L)Cl(L′)] and 2b = [Zn(L)(H2O)2(L′)], and of 3a = [Cu(L)(H2O)0.25Cl(L′)] and 3b = [Cu(L)(H2O)1.5(L′)], respectively, where L = 2-(aminomethyl)benzimidazole and L′ = glycinate. Zn(II) in 2a has an intermediate geometry between a square-pyramid and a trigonal bipyramid structure. However, the geometry about the metal ion of units 2b, 3a, and 3b is distorted octahedral. Moreover, the supramolecular structures for 2 and 3 were assembled through N–H…O and O–H…Cl hydrogen bonds. In these complexes, H2O and N–H groups serve as proton donors, whereas chloride and C=O groups serve as proton acceptors. Also π–π stacking interactions between aromatic rings contribute to the stabilization of the supramolecular structure of 2 and 3. The Zn and Cu complexes were studied by infrared and Raman spectroscopy, which indicated that 2 and 3 have similar molecular structures in the solid state. Ultrasound activation at the end of the reaction was necessary to yield 2.

Additionally, the dimethyltin bis-dithiocarbamate of 1,1′-bis(benzylaminomethyl)ferrocene (1,1′-Bn-amfdtc) was prepared. The resulting complexes have been characterized as far as possible by elemental analysis, FAB + mass spectrometry, IR and NMR (1 H, 13 C, and 119 Sn) spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, showing that the tin complexes are dinuclear 24-and 26-membered macrocyclic species of composition [{R 2 Sn(bis-dtc)} 2 ]. As shown by 119 Sn NMR spectroscopy, the tin centers are hexa-coordinated in all cases; however, two different coordination environments are possible, as detected by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the dimethyltin derivatives of 1,3-Bnambdtc, 1,3-i Bu-ambdtc, 1,4-Bn-ambdtc, and 1,1′-Bn-amfdtc and the din -butyltin derivative of 1,3-i Bu-ambdtc, the metal atoms are embedded in skewed-trapezoidal-bipyramidal coordination polyhedra with asymmetrically coordinating trans-oriented dtc groups. In contrast, in the diphenyltin derivative 1,3-i Bu-ambdtc, the metal centers have distorted octahedral coordination with symmetrically coordinating cis-oriented dtc functions. Thus, for the complexes derived from 1,3-Bn/ i Bu-ambdtc, two different macrocyclic structures were observed. In the dimethyl-and din -butyltin derivatives, the bridging bis-dtc ligands adopt U-shaped conformations, while in the case of the diphenyltin derivative, the conformation is L-shaped. Furthermore, two different macrocyclic ring conformations can occurr, which differ in the spatial orientation of the substituents attached to the nitrogen atoms (Bn or i Bu). The dimethyltin derivatives of 1,4-Bn-ambdtc and 1,1′-Bn-amfdtc have cavities, in which aromatic rings are accomodated in the solid state.

The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies showed that besides the ligand geometry the substituents at the metal center are key elements for the formation of either monomeric, cyclo-oligomeric, or polymeric assemblies. Two of the compounds characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis exhibited macrocyclic ring structures, [{Me2Sn(cis-e,a-1,4-chdca)}2] and [{nBu2Sn(cis-e,a-1,4-chdca)}4]. For most of the remaining compounds, one-dimensional polymeric solid-state structures of composition [{R2Sn(1,x-chdca)(H2O)y}n] (R = Me, nBu, tBu; x = 2, 3, 4; y = 0, 1) were observed, which had varying topologies, and for the case of the Me2Sn and nBu2Sn derivatives were further linked to two- or three-dimensional supramolecular architectures, either through intermolecular Sn···O or O-H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions.
