Benzimidazole is a benzo derivative of imidazole. It is a kind of bicyclic aromatic organic compounds, which is formed by fusing a six-membered benzene ring and five-membered imidazole at positions 4 and 5 of imidazole ring. It is an important pharmacophore of many biologically active heterocyclic compounds with various pharmacological activities. Benzimidazoles and their derivatives have developed into dynamic heterocyclic systems due to their potency in a variety of biologically active compounds such as anticancer, bactericidal and antiviral drugs. Benzimidazoles are a class of therapeutic motifs with broad relevance in medicinal chemistry.
1,2-Benzoisoxazole is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C7H5NO containing a benzene-fused isoxazole ring structure. The compound itself has no general application; however, functionalized benzoxazoles and benzoisoxazoles have a variety of uses, including therapeutic drugs such as some antipsychotics (including risperidone, paliperidone, cape ketone and iloperidone) and the anticonvulsant azolamide.
Cyclohexane is an organic compound with a chemical formula C6H12. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, insoluble in water, and soluble in most organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, benzene, and acetone. Cyclohexyl fragments are a common structure in both natural and synthetic drugs. It can be used as both core structure and part of achiral side chain.
