Abstract
Benzimidazole ring is a versatile structure which has been extensively utilized in medicinal chemistry. Since we are working on 1,2-disubstutited benzimidazoles, we have reported new antitumor active derivatives. As a continuation to our previous work, we have synthesized a new series of 1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2-[(N,Ndimethylamino/ pyrrolidinyl/piperidinyl)thiocarbamoyl] benzimidazole derivatives. Anticancer activity of the compounds was evaluated using MTT assay, BrdU assay and flow cytometric analysis on A549 human lung carcinoma and C6 rat glioma cell lines. Compounds bearing dimethylamino moiety exhibited higher antitumor activity.
Keywords: Antiproliferative, apoptosis, benzimidazole, cytotoxicity.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
Role of natural compounds as anti anti-cancer agents
