N-Ferrocenylmethyl, N′-Methyl-2-substituted benzimidazolium iodide salts with In vitro activity against the Leishmania infantum parasite strain L1

Herein, we disclose results of our research into a class of benzimidazolium compounds active against the Leishmania infantum parasite strain L1. We have discovered that N-ferrocenylmethyl, N′-methyl-2-aryl (or styryl) benzimidazolium iodide salts show in vitro activity against this strain.
