a simple, fast, efficient and environmentally friendly method for synthesis of benzimidazole and its 2-alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl substituted derivatives was developed using zeolite hy. two component cyclolcondensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine (o-phenylenediamine) and commercially available carboxylic acids catalyzed by zeolite hy without any solvent, under microwave irradiation led to formation...

Anthelmintic resistance threatens the sustainability of sheep production globally. Advice regarding strategies to reduce development anthelmintic incorporates outcomes modelling exercises. Further understanding gastrointestinal nematode species diversity, and population dynamics genetics (which may vary between species) is required refine these models; field studies combining faecal egg outputs...

Mixed infection of monkey kidney cells with two mutants of the LSc2ab strain of poliovirus, one resistant to guanidine and the other resistant to both dextran sulfate and 2-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)-benzimidazole (HBB), yielded progeny in which the number of gua(r)dex(r) particles exceeded by a factor of 7 to 10 the expected number of similar particles occurring through spontaneous mutation; recomb...

Benzimidazole is one of the most important heterocyclic groups manifesting various biological properties, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiprotozoal and antihelmintic activities. Several benzimidazole derivatives are also active as inhibitors of type I DNA topoisomerases. In this study, three 1H-benzimidazole derivatives with different electronic characteristics at position...

The three main soil-transmitted helminth infections, ascariasis, trichuriasis, and hookworm, are common clinical disorders in man. The gastrointestinal tract of a child living in poverty in a less developed country is likely to be parasitised with at least one, and in many cases all three soil-transmitted helminths, with resultant impairments in physical, intellectual, and cognitive development...

Benzimidazole anti-microtubule drugs, such as benomyl, induce paralysis and slow the growth of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. We have identified 28 mutations in C. elegans that confer resistance to benzimidazoles. All resistant mutations map to a single locus, ben-1. Virtually all these mutations are genetically dominant. Molecular cloning and DNA sequence analysis established that ben-1 ...

Benzimidazole derivatives have shown hopeful activity in the treatment of several diseases, for this reason, the synthesis of novel benzimidazole remains a main focus for researchers. This review article summarizes the chemistry of different derivatives of benzimidazole along with their biological activities. The review article also covers the most active benzimidazole derivatives that have sho...

Benzimidazoles 1-4 were obtained using modified synthesis methods and studied for their ability to inhibit cell proliferation of colon cancer cell HCT-116 and breast cancer cell MCF-7 using MTT assays. In the HCT-116 cell line, benzimidazole 2 was found to have an IC50 value of 16.2 ± 3.85 μg/mL and benzimidazole 1 a value of 28.5 ± 2.91 μg/mL, while that for benzimidazole 4 was 24.08 ± 0.31 μg...
