Benznidazole is an antiparasitic medication used in the treatment of Chagas disease. [2] While it is highly effective in early disease, the effectiveness decreases in those who have long-term infection. [3] It is the first-line treatment given its moderate side effects compared to nifurtimox. [1] It is taken by mouth. [2] Side effects are ...
The structure-activity relationship of the drug class has been explored to a reasonable extent. The optimal substitution pattern is fairly tightly defined (i.e. N,N-diethyl on the amine nitrogen, 4-ethoxy on the benzyl ring and 5-nitro on the benzimidazole ring), but even derivatives incorporating only some of these features are still potent opioids.
Benzimidazole is a base: C 6 H 4 N(NH)CH + H + → [C 6 H 4 (NH) 2 CH] + It can also be deprotonated with stronger bases: C 6 H 4 N(NH)CH + LiH → Li [C 6 H 4 N 2 CH] + H 2. The imine can be alkylated and also serves as a ligand in coordination chemistry. The most prominent benzimidazole complex features N-ribosyl-dimethylbenzimidazole, as ...
Albendazole is a broad-spectrum antihelmintic and antiprotozoal agent of the benzimidazole type. [3] It is used for the treatment of a variety of intestinal parasite infections, including ascariasis, pinworm infection, hookworm infection, trichuriasis, strongyloidiasis, taeniasis, clonorchiasis, opisthorchiasis, cutaneous larva migrans, giardiasis, and gnathostomiasis, among other diseases.
Fenbendazole is a broad spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used against gastrointestinal parasites including: giardia, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, the tapeworm genus Taenia (but not effective against Dipylidium caninum, a common dog tapeworm), pinworms, aelurostrongylus, paragonimiasis, strongyles, and strongyloides that can be administered to sheep, cattle, horses, fish, dogs, cats ...
Etonitazene, also known as EA-4941 or CS-4640, [2] is a benzimidazole opioid, first reported in 1957, [3] that has been shown to have approximately 1,000 to 1,500 times the potency of morphine in animals.
Researchers have explored the pharmacological properties of benzimidazole derivatives, with some displaying antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer, and antifungal activities. [medical citation needed] The specific medicinal properties of 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole may vary based on its structural features and substituent. [vague]
It is a systemic benzimidazole fungicide that is selectively toxic to microorganisms and invertebrates (especially earthworms), but relatively nontoxic toward mammals. [3] Due to the prevalence of resistance of parasitic fungi to benomyl, it and similar pesticides are of diminished effectiveness. Nonetheless, it is widely used.
