The invention belongs to the technical field of
medicine, and relates to 2-[(pyridyl-2-yl methyl)
thio]-1H-
benzimidazole compounds, a preparation method thereof and application of the compounds in preparation of drugs for antitumor diseases. The structural general formula of the 2-[(pyridyl-2-yl methyl)
thio]-1H-
benzimidazole compounds and prodrugs, pharmaceutically active metabolites and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the 2-[(pyridyl-2-yl methyl)
thio]-1H-
benzimidazole compounds are shown in the description, wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different, and are selected from
hydrogen, C3-C6cycloalkyl groups, phenyl groups,
halogen-substituted phenyl groups, C1-C4 alkoxy-substituted phenyl groups, phenyl groups with simultaneous substitution of
halogen and C1-C4 alkoxy groups and benzylgroups, or substituted or unsubstituted phenylpiperazinyl, benzylpiperazinyl or diphenylmethylpiperazinyl groups are formed by R1, R2 and
nitrogen atoms attached to R1 and R2; and the
substituent groups comprise C1-C4
alkyl groups, C1-C4 alkoxy groups and
halogen, and R3 and R5 can be selected from H and C1-C4
alkyl groups. The synthesis method of the compounds is simple and convenient, and is suitable for industrial production, and it is shown by
biological activity tests that the compounds have
antitumor activity, and are novel antitumor drugs.
