Novel 2-Aryl-1H-Benzimidazole Derivatives and Their Aza-Analogues as Promising Anti-Poxvirus Agents
Our work shows that the new tested benzimidazole derivatives possess appealing activity and selectivity, accompanied by low cytotoxicity. These results set a valid foundation with which to identify potent and selective anti-Poxvirus agents.
