The first one was based on 5,6-dinitrobenzimidazole, the second one comprises 2-thioalkyl- and thioaryl-sub- stituted modified benzimidazoles. Antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity of the newly obtained compounds was studied. Some thioalkyl derivatives showed remark- able activity against nosocomial strains of Stenotrophomonas malthophilia, and an ac- tivity comparable to that of metronidazole against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Of the tested compounds, 5,6-dichloro-2-(4-nitrobenzylthio)-benzimidazole showed the most distinct antiprotozoal activity. Benzimidazole derivatives are of wide inter- dazole-1--D-ribofuranoside (DRB) and its est because of their diverse biological activity 2-substituted derivatives show activity and clinical applications [1]. This ring system against human cytomegalovirus [6]. It is also is present in numerous antiparasitic,
