• Description: 2-(1H-Benzimidazol-1-yl)ethyl]amine dihydrochloride is a lead compound that has been shown to have antibacterial activity. It is a potent inhibitor of bacterial ribonucleotide reductase and thus inhibits DNA synthesis. The homology model of the enzyme shows that the chemical could bind to the active site and inhibit the production of ATP, preventing cell division. 2-(1H-Benzimidazol-1-yl)ethyl]amine dihydrochloride has been shown to have an effect on Clostridium and Bacillus anthracis, with MIC values of 1.0 µg/mL and 0.5 µg/mL respectively. This chemical also has potential for use as a drug in humans due to its lack of toxicity in mice at high doses (LD50 = 5 g/kg).
