Two classes of 5-substituted benzimidazoles were identified as potent antagonists of the NR2B subtype of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Selected compounds show very good selectivity versus the NR2A, NR2C, and NR2D subtypes of the NMDA receptor as well as versus hERG-channel activity and alpha(1)-adrenergic binding. Benzimidazole 37a shows excellent activity in the carrageenan-induced mechanical hyperalgesia assay in rats as well as good pharmacokinetic behavior in dogs.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on developing new compounds targeted at activating the SIRT1 enzyme, which plays a role in managing metabolic disorders.
- Researchers used molecular docking and dynamics to assess how well these compounds interacted with SIRT1, synthesizing those with strong binding affinity.
- Among the compounds tested, one (5m) showed the most promise for activation, with strong efficacy and favorable drug-like properties, suggesting potential for future research in animal models.

The aim was synthesis of novel benzazoles bearing amidino and 2-hydroxyphenyl substituents to explore their biological activity. Condensation of 5-substituted salicylaldehydes and intermediates gave new benzazoles by previously published and developed procedures, which were tested for antibacterial and antiproliferative activity . The best antibacterial activity showed benzimidazole with 2-imidazolinyl group and benzothiazole with an unsubstituted amidine (minimum inhibitory concentration 8 μg/ml).

Microtubule targeting agents (MTAs) are the potential drug candidates for anticancer drug discovery. Disrupting the microtubule formation or inhibiting the de-polymerization process by a synthetic molecule can lead to an excellent anticancer drug candidate. Here, we present the 2,5-substituted-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives as potential colchicine, nocodazole binding site targeting agents.

The continuous emergence and rapid spread of a multidrug-resistant strain of bacterial pathogens have demanded the discovery and development of new antibacterial agents. A highly conserved prokaryotic cell division protein FtsZ is considered as a promising target by inhibiting bacterial cytokinesis. Inhibition of FtsZ assembly restrains the cell-division complex known as divisome, which results in filamentation, leading to lysis of the cell.

Owing to the growing need for antifungal agents, we synthesized a new series 2-((5-(4-(5-substituted-1-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenyl)-4-substituted-4-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)-1-(substitutedphenyl)ethan-1-one derivatives, which were tested against species. The synthesized compounds were characterized and elucidated by FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, C-NMR and HR-MS spectroscopies. The synthesized compounds were screened in vitro anticandidal activity against species by broth microdiluation methods.
