Abstract

Many drug molecules comprises of benzo fused heterocycles with two nitrogen atoms, that is, benzimidazole and its derivatives. Many biological active molecules contain that 2-aminobenzimidazole cores are among the foremost common structural components in medicinal chemistry. 2-aminobenzimidazole and its derivative have wide range of biological and pharmaceutical activities. In this review, the authors summarize synthesis, various chemical reactions, and biological activities of 2-aminobenzimidazole and its derivative.
