Research in Benzimidazole Compounds as Antibacterial Agents

Abstract:

Benzimidazole compounds are known to possess varied biological activities and so far various types of benzimidazole drugs have extensively been used in clinic. Benzimidazole compounds as a antibacterial agents has been a quite rapidly developing and is gradually becoming a relatively independent scientific area. In this paper we presented the recent advances of benzimidazole compounds as antibacterial agents. The perspective of the foreseeable future and potential application of benzimidazole as antibacterial agents are also presented.
