title: New heterocyclic derivatives of benzimidazole with germicidal activity--XI--Experimental validation of OSAR prediction on antibacterial and antimycotic activity of benzimidazole derivatives.
abstract: In continuation of previous studies, Authors describe the synthesis of three new derivatives of 2-(5'-nitro-2'-furyl) benzimidazole, having hydroxy, methoxy or amino group at position 5. The new compounds, synthesized as suggested by a previous chemometric study, were tested in vitro against 5 Gram + and 4 Gram- strains and the mycete C. albicans. Two derivatives (R = OH, NH2) showed a good degree of antibacterial activity, especially the 5-hydroxy derivative, but they were practically inactive against the mycete; these results are in agreement with the prediction of chemometric study.
