Abstract: In recent times, many research groups have focused their attention on nitrogencontaining
heterocyclic compounds with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of their
biological characteristics. Among them, molecules based on 1,2,3-triazole and benzimidazole
have exhibited diverse biological applications and are present in many drug molecules.
The purpose of this review is to describe various benzimidazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrids and
to provide a comprehensive evaluation of their biological properties. The compounds discussed
in this study have been synthesized through a Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition
reaction between diverse azides and alkynes, utilizing a 1,2,3-triazole scaffold as a
linkage between two connecting groups. The synthesis of several benzimidazole-1,2,3-
triazole hybrids is covered in this review, along with a biological assessment of their anticancer, antiproliferative,
antitubercular, antibacterial, antidepressant, and other activities. Moreover, in our opinion, this review may
be useful for the development of various medicinally significant molecules.
