A series of 4'-[(benzimidazole-1-yl)methyl]biphenyl-2-sulfonamide derivatives (Ia-Il) were synthesized and biologically evaluated. It was found that Ig, the most active compound, antagonized both Ang II AT(1) and endothelin ET(A) receptors (AT(1) IC(50)=8.5, ET(A) IC(50)=8.9 nM), and was more potent than losartan in RHRs with no significant effect on heart rate. The preliminary structure-activity relationships were also discussed in the present paper.
