The synthesis and biological evaluation of 1-heteroarylmethyl 1,4-diazepane derivatives as potential T-type calcium channel blockers is described. In this study, we have identified the compound 21i exhibiting the most potent T-type calcium channel blocking activity with $IC_{50}$ value of 0.20 ${\mu}M$, which is superior to that of mibefradil.

[1,2,4]-Triazole derivatives were synthesized by 5 steps. Benzimidazole was refluxed with ethyl chloroacetate to give 1H-benzimidazole-acetic acid ethyl ester (1) over 52% yield. Ester (1) was refluxed with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of ethanol to afford 1H-benzimidazole-1-acetic acid, hydrazide (2). 5-Benzoimidazol-1-ylmethyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazole-3-thiol (4) was made via coupling of compound (2) with methyl isothiocyanate, followed by cyclization of 1H-benzimidazole-1-acetic acid, 2-[(methylamino) thioxomethyl]hydrazide (3) on reflux, and finally the target compounds (6a-6v) were synthesized by general substitution reaction. Compounds (6a-6v) were screened for T-type calcium channel blocker using the fluorescence assay by FDSS6000. All compounds (6a-6v) did not show better activities than control compound, mibefradil.
