ABSTACT Considering several literature enlightening the anthelmintic nature of the benzimidazole ring and its derivatives, new series of benzimidazole derivatives hybridized with pharmacophoric moieties possessing anthelmintic activity were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anthelmintic activity. In order to obtain the target compounds, the following synthetic routes were adopted and found to be successful: 1. Condensation of o-phenylenediamine with the appropriate carboxylic acid to afford 1-Benzimidazole derivatives 50a-c. (Scheme Ӏ) 50a-c 2. Preparation of 5-nitro-1benzimidazole derivatives 58a-c via direct nitration of the corresponding benzimidazoles 50a-c, respectively O 2 (method 1), or through direct condensation of 4-nitrobenzene-1, 2-58a-c diamine with the appropriate carboxylic acid (method 2). (Scheme Ӏ) I
3. eduction of compounds 58a-c via Pd-C catalyzed hydrogenation (method 2 1) or utilizing FeSO 4 in aqueous Cl (method 2), to afford the corresponding amino derivatives 51a- 51a-c c, respectively. (Scheme Ӏ) 4. Cyclization of the appropriate 5- aminobenzimidazole with bromine in acidic medium through oxidative halogenation to afford 7imidazo[4,5-f]benzothiazole-2-amine 53a,b derivatives 53a,b. (Scheme Ӏ) 5. Acylation of 53a with methyl chloroformate in presence of diisopropylethylamine using MeO O S C 2 C1 2 /TF as solvent mixture, to afford methyl--(7-imidazo[4, 5-54 f]benzothiazol-2-yl)carbamate 54.

Amidation of 2-amino-6- (un)substituted-7-imidazo[4,5-f]- benzothiazole 53a,b with (un)substituted salicyloyl chloride 68a,b in DMF and pyridine, to produce 5-(un)substituted-2-hydroxy- -(6-(un)substituted-7- imidazo [4,5,f]benzothiazol-2-yl)benzamide 55a,b. (Scheme ӀӀ) 55a,b 8. Condensation of 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid with formic and acetic acids to produce 2-(un)substituted-1- OOC benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives 52a,b, respectively. 52a,b (Scheme ӀӀӀ) III

The formation and the purity of the newly synthesized compounds were checked by TLC and elemental analysis, whereas, structure elucidation was achieved through microanalytical and spectral data. Six of the newly synthesized compounds have been subjected to in vitro cercarial assay in order to screen their anthelmintic activity. Determination of the degree of survival index of the cercariae was carried. The results of biological screening revealed that, all the tested compounds showed significant anthelmintic activity. Among the tested compounds, compound 57h showed the best anthelmintic activity. Whereas compounds: 57c, 57d, 57g, 57a and 57b showed strong anthelmintic activity. VI
