BACKGROUND Current efforts to control human soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) involve the periodic mass administration of benzimidazole drugs to school aged children and other at- risk groups. Given that high levels of resistance to these drugs have developed in roundworms of livestock, there is a need to monitor drug efficacy in human STHs. The current study aimed to evaluate an in vitro egg h...

in an endeavor to find a novel series of antihyperglycemic agents, new benzimidazole and pyrimidine derivatives were successfully synthesized efficiently in high yield with high purity, starting from amino acids in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride (pocl3). the synthesized compounds were identified by 1h-nmr, 13c-nmr, ft-ir spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. all products were...

The title compound, C(24)H(26)N(4)O(4), is a diaza-crown ether encompassing linked phenylpyrazolyl and benzimidazole units that contribute five atoms to the 16-atom ring. The two planar phenylpyrazolyl and benzimidazole units are aligned at an angle of 66.4 (1)°. The carbonyl O atom of the benzimidazole unit is directed away from the middle of the ring.

In the title compound, C(30)H(26)N(4)O, the dihedral angle between the two benzimidazole rings is 69.35 (9)°. The dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring system and the phenyl ring are 76.79 (12) and 86.10 (11)° in the two benzyl-benzimidazole moieties.

There is a clinical need for new treatment option as a result of continued increase in the expression of resistance among bacterial and fungal pathogens. A number of compounds currently in development show promise. However, in some cases, there is concern that resistance may develop quickly to new compounds that are based on existing antimicrobial agents. So it is therefore desirable to develop...

Resistance to benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintics is common in ovine nematodes of economic importance. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) at three positions in the isotype 1 β- tubulin gene have been associated with BZ resistance and molecular tests for the detection of BZ resistance have been developed. In order to determine if such tests are practicable in Ireland the polymorphisms associated...

Presence of benzimidazole nucleus in numerous categories of therapeutic agents such as antimicrobials, antivirals, antiparasites, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, proton pump inhibitors, antihypertensives, anticoagulants, immunomodulators, hormone modulators, CNS stimulants as well as depressants, lipid level modulators, antidiabetics, etc. has made it an indispensable anchor for de...

We previously documented the appearance of cattle nematode parasites resistant to avermectins, milbemycin, and a benzimidazole at the end of a grazing season in a backgrounding operation in the upper Midwestern US. To further characterize the pattern of drug resistance, we extended the study to (1) monitor the animals over the course of the grazing season; (2) increase the number of animals sla...
