Identification of potential drug candidates to treat gastritis and associated oxidative stress based on some novel 2-aryl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d]imidazole: synthesis, in vitro and in silico analysis

Abstract

2-Aryl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d]imidazole derivatives (1–15) were synthesized by condensing 2,3-diaminonaphthalene with variously substituted aldehydes and evaluated for their inhibitory potential against urease and antioxidant activities.
