Over the last decade, several derivatives of benzimidazole have been synthesized; some of them turned out to have a good antimicrobial activity; however, all of them were not soluble in water. Therefore the N1-heterosides of four derivatives of 2-(2'-furyl) benzimidazole, chosen from those with the highest biological activity have been now synthesized. These compounds were expected to have some new properties, including a good water-solubility and a higher or at least similar biological activity; furthermore, taking into account some previously published data on similar molecules, an antileukemic activity was expected. However, no one of these hypothesis was confirmed experimentally. |
