Description

Benzimidazole is an organic compound that displays some anticancer benefit. Complexes of Cu(II) and benzimidazole bind to the minor groove of DNA, cleave supercoiled DNA, and inhibit topoisomerase I, inhibiting proliferation across several cancer cell lines. Additionally, benzimidazole derivatives are well known for their anti-parasitic, antifungal, and antibacterial activities. Benzimidazoles often inhibit microtubule polymerization.
