“…In addition, by means of scaffold hopping, we devised and synthesized several compounds, which are listed in Figure 2 as benzimidazole mimics. We either replaced carbon atom by nitrogen in the benzimidazole core, AI-26 , AI-27 , AI-28 , AI-31 , AI-32 , and AI-33 , or enlarge the ring of former imidazole part, AI-29 and AI-30 [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. The side chain of imidazole was also replaced by sulfur atom, etc.…”
