Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are among the most important structural motifs of chemical substances, which are well represented among natural products, and pharmaceuticals. The presence of nitrogen in heterocycles help to modulates physicochemical properties and the pKa profile of therapeutic leads.
Benzimidazole is a heterocyclic structure and a privileged scaffold that is routinely used during drug discovery efforts. The benzimidazole scaffold has structural similarity to purine which makes it a useful structural motif for the development of pharmaceutical or biological interesting molecules. Benzimidazole derivatives possess a wide variety of biological activities, including anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory activities. Development of synthetic methods to …
