Abstract
BACKGROUND
Benzimidazole derivatives are widely used in clinical practice as potential beneficial specialists. Recently, the neuroprotective effect of derivatives of benzimidazole moiety has also shown positive outcomes.
OBJECTIVE
To develop favourable molecules for various neurodegenerative disorders using the versatile chemical behaviour of the benzimidazole scaffold.
METHODS
About 25 articles were collected that discussed various benzimidazole derivatives and categorized them under various subheadings based on the targets such as BACE 1, JNK, MAO, choline esterase enzyme, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction in which they act. The structural aspects of various benzimidazole derivatives were also studied.
CONCLUSION
To manage various neurodegenerative disorders, a multitargeted approach will be the most hopeful stratagem. Some benzimidazole derivatives can be considered for future studies, which are mentioned in the discussed articles.
