Abstract

A series of benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid alkyl ester derivatives carrying amide or amidine substituted methyl or phenyl groups at the position C-2 were synthesised and evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities against S. aureus, methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA), S. faecalis, methicillin resistant S. epidermidis (MRSE), E. coli and C. albicans. The results showed that while all simple acetamides are essentially inactive, ...
