class of novel bis-benzimidazole diamidine compounds have been synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activities, including drug-resistant bacterial strains. Anti-MRSA and anti-VRE activities of the most potent compound 1 were more active than Vancomycin. The mechanism of action for this class of compounds appears to be different from existing antibiotics. Bis-benzimidazole diamidine compounds

Novel amidine and diamidine compounds are useful in the treatment of microbial infections, including mycobacterial, fungal and protozoal infections. Pharmaceutical formulations comprising these compounds can be used in methods of treating microbial infections.
The present invention relates to the use of amidine compounds in the treatment of amyloid-related diseases. In particular, the invention relates to a method of treating or preventing an amyloid-related disease in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutic amount of an amidine compound. Among the compounds for use according to the invention are those according to the following Formula, such that, when administered, amyloid fibril formation, neurodegeneration, or cellular toxicity is reduced or inhibited:
