A series of benzimidazole phenylthiocarbamoyl derivatives were synthesized by condensing substituted 2-mercaptobenzimidazole with substituted benzoyl chlorides. These benzimidazole derivatives were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Gram Positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 3750) and Gram Negative bacteria Salmonella typhi (NCTC 786), as well as antifungal activity against a fungal strain Candida albicans (ATCC 10231). It was observed that the 5-naphthoxy-6-chloro benzimidazole derivatives having dichloro substitutions on the phenylthiocarbamoyl part of the molecule showed better activity than the rest.

Abstract


A series of benzimidazole phenylthiocarbamoyl derivatives were synthesized by condensing substituted 2-mercaptobenzimidazole with substituted benzoyl chlorides. These benzimidazole derivatives were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Gram Positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 3750) and Gram Negative bacteria Salmonella typhi (NCTC 786), as well as antifungal activity against a fungal strain Candida albicans (ATCC 10231). It was observed that the 5-naphthoxy-6-chloro benzimidazole derivatives having dichloro substitutions on the phenylthiocarbamoyl part of the molecule showed better activity than the rest.
