Synthesis and biological evaluation of new Benzimidazole derivatives

Agroup of benzimidazole derivatives bearing different heterocyclic moieties such as Schiff bases, 2-azetidinone and 4-thiazolidinone were efficiently prepared. The structures of the newly compounds were characterized by FTIRand ¹H NMR spectra. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against gram-positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi using the microdilution procedure.
