Devendra Singh Negi, Goutam Kumar, Mahender Singh and Navneet Singh

Benzimidazole derivatives are of wide interest because of their presence in numerous categories of medicinal drugs; such as anticancer, anticoagulants, antihypertensives, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobials, antiparasites, antivirals, antioxidants, immunomodulators, proton pump inhibitors, hormone modulators, CNS stimulants as well as depressants, lipid level modulators, antidiabetics, etc., makes it a moiety of great importance in medicinal chemistry. Because of this great importance, it attracts the researchers to synthesize more effective benzimidazole derivatives for several biological activity screening. Many reviews and mini reviews on importance of benzimidazole nucleus for medicinal purpose are present. Present study is an attempt to review the antibacterial activity separately of benzimidazole nucleus containing compounds within the period from 2011 to 2017. This review will be helpful in development of effective benzimidazole derivatives.
