Abstract

A set of benzimidazole derivatives bearing on position 2 a tetrahydropyranyl or tetrahydrofuranyl residue was prepared and tested for antitumoral, anti HIV-1 and other pharmacological activities. While the anti-HIV activity was completely lacking, moderate antitumoral activity was found in a few compounds; particularly the 5,6-dichloro-2-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)-benzimidazole (8) was able to inhibit the growth of 19 cell lines of humane tumors at near micromolar concentration. On the other hand compounds 4, 6-8 and 10 exhibited significant tracheal relaxant activity in vitro at concentration 3-10 micrograms/ml, thus resulting superior to theophylline and comparable to amrinone.
