Benzimidazole nucleus is a constituent of many bioactive heterocyclic compounds that are of wide interest because of their diverse biological and clinical applications. Moreover, benzimidazole derivatives are structural isosters of naturally occurring nucleotides, which allows them to interact easily with the biopolymers of the living system. This created interest in researchers who have synthesized variety of benzimidazole derivatives and screened them for their various biological activities, viz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
