“…Condensed benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized, and experimental screening of the antioxidant activity of new chemical compounds was carried out among the derivatives of 2-(hetaryl) imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles (IMBI) [5], 3-aroyl-and 3-hetaroyl-IMBI [6], 2-methoxyphenyl-substituted 9-dialkylaminoethyl-IMBI [7], 2-methoxy-phenyl-and 2-oxyphenyl-substituted 1-dialkylaminoalkyl-IMBI [8], N-acylmethyl derivatives of 9H-2,3-dihydro-IMBI and 10H-2,3,4,10-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles [9], 9-dialkylaminoethyl-2-oxy(dioxy)phenyl-IMBI [10], aroylmethyl derivatives of tricyclic benzimidazole systems containing hydroxy groups in aroyl radicals [11] [17], amides of 2,3-dihydroimidazo-and 2,3,4,10-tetrahydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazolyl-acetic acids [18], phenyl-and alkylthiocarbamides of 2,9-disubstituted IMBI [19], and 1-substituted 2-benzylaminobenzimidazoles with phenyl methoxyls [20]. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, CAS Number 128-37-0), also known as dibunol, was chosen as a comparative drug.…”
