A series of 2-(anilino or oroanilino)-1,5(6)-disubstituted-1H-benzimid
azoles (1-13) were prepared by reaction of several 2-chloro-or 2-chlor
omethyl-1H-benzimidazoles with aniline derivatives. The prepared compo
unds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal act
ivities. Compounds 2, 8, and 9 exhibited the best activity.
