Abstract
Background: Two significant families of compounds i.e. 1,3,4-oxadiazole and benzimidazole, have undergone extensive investigation into their pharmacological characteristics and possible therapeutic applications. Both classes have shown their potential in a variety of applications, and because of their synergistic interactions, they may have an even better therapeutic impact when combined.
Objectives: To produce a specific molecule with potent therapeutic properties, it is now common methods to combine at least two pharmacophores. This facilitates interaction with several targets, enhances biological functions, or eliminates adverse effects associated with them.
Conclusion: The synthesis of benzimidazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid compounds has recently involved the use of several synthetic techniques, all of which are detailed in the literature along with the advantages and disadvantages. It has been noted that the structure-activity relationship relates their pharmacological actions to their molecular structure. In order to set the stage for future research, the study aims to provide researchers with an effective toolbox and an understanding of benzimidazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid compounds.
