Abstract

---

Benzimidazoles are compounds of wide range of biological activity. The benzimidazole nucleus in general, is an important synthetic strategy in drug discovery. Structure activity relationship (SAR) has indicated that there is a relationship between the inductive effect of the substituent and the biological activity of benzimidazoles. A series of substituted 2-(L-arabinotetritol- 1-yl) benzimidazole analogs with different substituents having electron attracting or electron release properties at the benzimidazole base moiety was prepared. A correlation between the inductive effect of the substituent and its spectral properties at the UV and NMR spectra were obtained. Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) of the substituted benzimidazole analogs was determined. Twelve test bacteria representing three groups of bacteria were used to evaluate the biological activity of the compounds.
