Description

5-Ethoxy-2-mercaptobenzimidazole is a corrosion inhibitor that has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells by causing them to undergo apoptotic cell death. It also has a protective effect on nerve cells, as evidenced by its ability to prevent the neurotoxic effects of hydrochloric acid. 5-Ethoxy-2-mercaptobenzimidazole is synthesized from 2-(2'-hydroxyethoxy)benzaldehyde and ethyl chloroformate in the presence of sodium chloride and hydrochloric acid. It is then converted into 5-ethoxy-2-mercaptobenzimidazole with sodium hydroxide.
