Abstract
Aim: In light of various biological activities of benzimidazole and azines, this study focuses on reporting novel derivatives of benzimidazole nucleus.Methods: Twenty novel azines of benzimidazole were synthesized, characterized and tested for in vitro urease inhibitory activity.Results: All these derivatives showed excellent to good inhibition in the range of IC50 values 14.21 ± 1.87 to 76.11 ± 1.81 μM by comparing with standard thiourea 21.14 ± 0.42 μM. Docking studies were performed for the targeted benzimidazole derivatives to understand the binding mechanics. The results indicated higher binding efficacy compared with the reference inhibitor.Conclusion: This work identifies potential lead candidates for novel urease inhibitors, which with industrial support may be harnessed for the development of new drugs.
期刊介绍：
Future Medicinal Chemistry offers a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of the latest milestones in the field. Strong emphasis is placed on ensuring that the journal stimulates awareness of issues that are anticipated to play an increasingly central role in influencing the future direction of pharmaceutical chemistry. Where relevant, contributions are also actively encouraged on areas as diverse as biotechnology, enzymology, green chemistry, genomics, immunology, materials science, neglected diseases and orphan drugs, pharmacogenomics, proteomics and toxicology.
