Investigating the Ligand‐Binding Properties of N‐arylbenzimidazoles as Novel Elastase Inhibitors
ChemMedChem, EarlyView.A series of novel N‐[(3,5‐dimethylphenyl)methyl]‐1H‐benzimidazole derivatives is designed, synthesized, and evaluated for inhibitory activity against elastase. Several compounds demonstrate an antielastase activity, including the N‐(2‐bromophenyl)‐2‐(6‐chloro‐1‐(3,5‐dimethylbenzyl)‐1H‐benzo[d]imidazol‐2‐ylthio)acetamide, showing the greatest potency ...
