In the last 2-3 decades, the broad research in the application of benzimidazole derivatives
made it important for mankind. Many scientists have worked on benzimidazole derivatives and they
found that this compound has a diverse role in the field of medicinal chemistry. Few benzimidazole derivatives
are currently in the market as a drug candidate against various diseases. Moreover, the benzimidazole
derivatives exhibit pharmacological activities such as anti-tuberculosis, anti-malarial, antihistamine,
antimicrobial, antiviral, antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic,
anti-HIV, etc. In this review, we have summarized various derivatives of benzimidazole which have
been prepared by many researchers to understand the chemistry as well as diverse pharmacological activities.
These findings may lead the scientists who are working in the field of medicinal chemistry to
the development of benzimidazole based drug candidates in the future.
Some derivatives of 2-substituted benzimidazole were prepared via coupling of N-methyl-o-phenylenediamine or o-phenylenediamine with different aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by Ni(OAc) 2 in the presence of chloroform under microwave-assisted conditions. Structural confirmation of all synthesized molecules was investigated by FT-IR, 13 C NMR, 1 H NMR, ESI-MS, and Elemental analysis. All prepared molecules were examined for in-vitro pharmaceutical activities like antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, antituberculosis, and antioxidant. Additionally, in silico study was also carried out. We also evaluated the steadiness and molecular interaction of docked complex, that is, complex of molecule (7s) with PDB: 5ZNI and complex of derivative (7l) with PDB: 3VLN, we have established a molecular dynamics model on the best dock molecules. All newly prepared molecules were authenticated to have excellent pharmacokinetics stuffs via calculated ADME-Tox descriptors, which signifying that these derivatives could be utilized as hit for the expansion of the some innovative active compounds.
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.
