Abstract

In this paper, a novel series of N-hydroxybenzimidazoles as potential anticancer agents were designed and synthesized. The in vitro enzymatic assays suggested N-hydroxy-6-(3-nitrophenyl)-benzimidazole-2-carboxylic acid had good inhibitory potency (IC50 = 0.25 μM) to human lactate dehydrogenase A. Cytotoxic assay revealed that this compound gave the best potency (IC50 = 2.2 μM) to inhibit BGC-823 cell proliferation. Furthermore, molecular docking study showed it had strong interactions with lactate dehydrogenase A, which was in line with our experimental results.
