“…These structures are valuable bioactive structures and are the basis of many drugs (Figure 2). 2, 3 For example they exhibit anticancer, 9 antiproliferative, 10 antifungal, 11 antihelmintic, 12 antileishmanial, 13 antitubercular, 14 and antimicrobial activity; 15 they act as VEGFR-2, 16 Tpl2 kinase, 17 cryptosporidium parvum IMPDH, 18 and Aurora A/B kinase inhibitors; 19 they are selective inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase isoforms hCA IX and XII, 20 NPY Y5 receptor, 21 and MCH-R1 22 antagonist, and selective A1 adenosine receptor antagonists. 23 In addition, 2-hetarylbenzimidazoles are also used as dyes, 24 fluorescence sensors, 25 corrosion inhibitors, 26 and ligands for the preparation of complexes, 27 including those with practically useful properties: as potential catalysts for the oligomerization of ethylene, 27a for electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction, 27b as reversible fluorescent chemosensor for Fe 3+ and H 2 PO 4 with 'on-off-on' switching in aqueous media, 27c and as an organic light-emitting diode, 27d as an anti-amyloid agent for the therapy of Alzheimer's disease.…”
