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 (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, FT-IR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. All products ...

Although a number of antiviral drugs inhibit replication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in cell culture, and acyclovir (ACV) suppresses replication in vivo, currently available drugs have not proven effective for treatment of EBV-associated diseases other than oral hairy leukoplakia. Benzimidazole riboside compounds represent a new class of antiviral compounds that are potent inhibitors of human c...

A benzimidazole-derived fluorescent chemosensor for Cu( ii )-selective turn-off and Zn( ratiometric turn-on detection is developed in an aqueous solution.

The comparative antifungal activity of four benzimidazole compounds was determined against 11 fungi.

An efficient one-pot oxidation/condensation tandem process has been developed for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives from benzylic alcohols and 1,2-phenylenediamine with use of urea-hydrogen peroxide/silica phosphoric acid  as a bifunctional catalyst. This method provides a rapid and efficient access to 2-substituted benzimidazoles.

a water soluble, bronsted acid, 5-sulfosalicylic acid as an efficient organocatalyst was used for the synthesis of physiologically active 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives from o-phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehydes in ethanol at reflux condition. cost-effectiveness, use of non-hazardous solvents, metal free and commercially available catalyst, single-step, environmentally friendly gre...

BACKGROUND The soil-transmitted helminths (STH) Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura are gastrointestinal parasites causing many disabilities to humans, particularly children. The benzimidazole (BZ) drugs, albendazole (ALB) and mebendazole (MBZ), are commonly used for mass treatment for STH. Unfortunately, there is concern that increased use of anthelmintics could select for resistant p...

A series of novel substituted benzimidazole (7a - n) derivatives were synthesized and characterized by 1H, 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS). The substitution was done in position -1 -2 appropriate groups. These compounds are obtained N-alkylation reaction with thiomethyl-1H-benzimidazole intermediates (5a g). Design g) made condensation betwe...

The virus inhibitory activity and selectivity of certain benzimidazole, benzotriazole, and naphthimidazole derivatives were determined with influenza B and polio type 2 viruses. Among the sixty-five compounds examined, several were highly active inhibitors of influenza B virus multiplication in the chorioallantoic membrane in vitro. The following compounds, listed in order of increasing inhibit...

Considering various biomedical significance & with a view of pharmacological actions compound belong to this class, new series N-(substituted phenyl)-2-methyl-4-(2-(6-oxo-1-phenyl-1-6-dihydro-[2-3-bipyridin]-5-yl)phenyl)-1-4-dihydro pyrimido [1, 2-a] benzimidazole-3-carboxamide ware prepared. The formation the was accomplished by cyclocondensation 2-(1, 2-dihydro-2-oxo-1-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2...
