Abstract

We have recently reported that certain ribosylated polyhalogenated benzimidazoles are potent and selective inhibitors of HCMV replication at noncytotoxic concentrations. To extend the structure-activity relationship beyond these first-generation compounds, we alkylated 5, 6-dichloro-2-substituted-benzimidazoles with either a series of substituted benzyl halides or (2-bromoethyl) benzene to obtain five series of nonnucleoside ...
