Description

2-Chlorobenzimidazole is an analog of benzimidazole that has been synthesized by Langmuir adsorption isotherm. It is a white crystalline solid that can be dissolved in water and hydrochloric acid. 2-Chlorobenzimidazole inhibits the growth of herpes simplex virus by acting as a competitive inhibitor for the viral enzyme thymidine kinase, which catalyzes the conversion of thymine to thymidine. 2-Chlorobenzimidazole also binds to monoclonal antibodies, inhibiting their binding to their corresponding antigens. This activity may be due to its ability to bind covalently with amino groups on proteins and other molecules. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has shown that 2-chlorobenzimidazole binds tightly with protonated (positively charged) phosphorous atoms within cells.
