Benzimidazole is an important class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, which has diverse biological activities. A series of novel 2-((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)thio)-1H-benzimidazole derivatives were reported and their antiproliferative activities against human lung cancer A549, human colorectal cancer HCT116 and human prostate cancer PC3 cell lines were evaluated with the MTT assay. Some target compounds demonstrated obvious antiproliferative activities against A549, HCT116 and PC3 cancer cell lines. Among them, 2-(3-((2-(((1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)thio)methyl)-3-methylpyridin-4-yl)oxy)propoxy)-1-(4-benzhydrylpiperazin-1-yl)ethanone (7c) showed the most potent antiproliferative activity with IC50 values of 1.14 μmol/L for A549, 1.67 μmol/L for HCT116 and 2.34 μmol/L for PC3, respectively. Preliminary structure-activity relationships were summaried and preliminary cellular mechanism studies elucidated that compound 7c could arrest the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase. The flow cytometry analysis showed that compound 7c could dose-dependently induce A549 cells apoptosis. It is suggested that the 2-((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)thio)-1H-benzimidazole scaffold might be regarded as new scaffold structure for the development of potent cancer chemotherapeutic agents in the drug discovery process.
