Some benzimidazole carboxylates and carboxamides were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobialactivities against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. Among the investigated compounds 2d exhibited best activity against C. albicans.
A series of benzimidazole–oxindole conjugates were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity. The cytotoxicity assay results suggest that conjugates 5c and 5p exhibit promising cytotoxicity against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). The Cell cycle analysis revealed that these conjugates induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase in MCF-7 cells. The tubulin polymerization assay results
