Library of 2-aryl benzimidazole core inspired from marine natural products, is identified and synthesized to explore antifouling/antifungal properties for the first time. Our results reveal that the 2-aryl substituent on the benzimidazole core had strong impact on their biological profile.
The antifouling activity of the products is examined revealing that (IIIe) and (VIb) are active against marine fouling bacteria making them promising candidates for the development of new antifouling agents. -(MAJIK*, M.
