Anti-HIV agents. I: Synthesis and in vitro anti-HIV evaluation of novel 1H,3H-thiazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazoles.
A series of 1-aryl-1H,3H-thiazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazoles were synthesized by one-pot reaction from o-phenylenediamine, 2-mercaptoacetic acid and a variety of aromatic aldehydes. All compounds obtained were evaluated for antiviral activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Compounds 4g, 4i, 4j, 4l and 4q exhibit reproducible in vitro anti-HIV activity.
