Abstract

The synthesis and germicidal properties of 28 new derivatives of furyl-2-benzimidazole are described. The compounds are substituted both in position 5 of the benzene moiety and in position 5' of the heterocycle moiety. The germicidal properties of the new molecules were tested using 9 strains of bacteria and Candida albicans. Some of them exhibited germicidal properties versus Gram + bacteria and versus Candida. Some derivatives were also tested using Mycobacterium aurum: two isonicotinoylhydrazones derivatives exhibited tubercolostatic activity comparable to that of streptomycin and not much lower than that of isoniazide.
