Abstract: | A series of 2-[(2,6)-dimethylphenyl]benzimidazole analogs displayed strong potential for mutagenicity following metabolic activation in either TA98 or TA100 Salmonella typhimurium strains. The number of revertants was significantly reduced by replacing the 2,6-dimethylphenyl group with a 2,6-dichlorophenyl moiety. Time-dependent CYP3A4 inhibition was also observed with a compound containing a 2-[(2,6)-dimethylphenyl] benzimidazole ring, implying risk for this scaffold to generate reactive metabolites. |
