Abstract

Introduction2-Phenoxymethyl-5-chlorobenzimidazole is a substituted benzimidazole that has been synthesized by our team. Benzimidazoles and their substituted derivatives have been used as antimicrobials in the treatment of Pneumocystis pneumonia 1 , Helicobacter pylori 2 , in plant protection 3 , as antivirals against cytomegalovirus 4 , as well as antiparasitics against Giardia lamblia 5 and some Microsporidia species such as Encephalitozoon hellem and Encephalitozoon intestinalis 6 by binding to the cytoskeleton 7 . Some have also been shown to be inhibitors of HIV-RT 8 , and Adenosine Deaminase ADA 9
