A series of methyl and ethyl 5-(alkoxycarbonyl)-lH-benzimidazole-2-carbamates (7-19) and methyl 5-car bamoyl-lH-benzimidazole-2-carbamates (24-34) have been synthesized via the reaction of an appropriate alcohol or amine with the acid chloride derivatives 6a or 6b at room temperature. Reaction of an alcohol with acid chloride 6a at reflux temperature afforded transesterified products20-23 in good yield. Treatment of methyl 5-amino-lH-benzimidazole-2-carbamate with substituted benzoyl chlorides furnished the methyl 5-benzamido-lif-benz-imidazole-2-carbamates (36-38). Compounds 9, 16, 20, and 22 demonstrated significant growth inhibition in L1210 cells with ICgg’s< 1 µ. Growth inhibition by this series of compounds appears to be associated with mitotic spindle poisoning. All the compounds tested, 9, 10, 19, 20, 22, and 23, caused significant accumulation of L1210 cells in mitosis. Compounds 7, 9, 19, 25, 26, 27, and 36 showed significantin vivo antifilarial activity against adult worms of Brugia pahangi, Litomosoides carinii, and Acanthocheilonema viteae in experimentally infected jirds.The parasitic disease filariasis remains a major problem for world health, affecting over 250 million people. Human filarial diseases, ie, Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Onchocerca volvulus are responsible for a large num-ber of disabilities including disfigurement and blindness. 2 These extraintestinal nematodes, especially O. volvulus, have proved difficult to treat since the adult filarial nem-atodes (macrofilariae) and their early larval stages (microfilariae) inhabit the body cavities, blood vessels, lymphatics, and subcutaneoustissues of the host. Al-though the macrocyclic lactone antibiotic ivermectin has recently been used successfully to treat the microfilarial stage of the disease, 3, 4 no drug has been found to be ef-fective against the adult worm. Thus, the search for a broad-range macrofilaricidal agent remains urgent.
