A novel series of N′‐(substituted benzylidene)‐2‐(5,6‐dichloro‐2‐methyl‐1H‐benzimidazol‐1‐yl)acetohydrazides and N′‐(1‐(substituted phenyl)ethylidene)‐2‐(5,6‐dichloro‐2‐methyl‐1H‐benzimidazol‐1‐yl)acetohydrazides were synthesized and then studied for their urease inhibitory activities using thiourea as a standard drug. All newly synthesized compounds were found to exhibit potent inhibitory properties against urease enzyme in the range of IC50 = 0.0155 ± 0.0039–0.0602 ± 0.0071 μM, when compared with the thiourea as standard (IC50 = 0.5115 ± 0.0233 μM). All target molecules were characterized by 1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR, IR, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
