Deshpande, et al.: Compounds with 1H-benzimidazol-2-yl Thiomethyl MotifTo understand the biological importance of heterocyclic cores, novel 1H-benzimidazol-2-yl thiomethyl incorporated hybrid compounds, 2-(benzimidazol-2-ylthiomethyl)-5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadizoles and 1-(2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylthio)acetyl)pyridazine/phthalazinediones were designed using molecular hybridization technique, synthesized and characterized. The compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity using the serial dilution technique and were found to exhibit weak antitubercular activity, excellent to moderate antibacterial and better antifungal activities against some tested organisms in comparison to the standard drugs. Thus, some of the title compounds demonstrated antimicrobial activity.
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.
