Abstract

The benzimidazole nucleus is of significant importance to medicinal chemistry. Recent publications have reported benzimidazole-containing compounds showing biological activity as selective neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor antagonists, 1 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors for use as novel antiallergic agents, 2 factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors, 3 poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) inhibitors 4 and as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) inhibitors. 5 The traditional synthesis of benzimidazoles ...
