Abstract
Some new derivatives of benzimidazole bearing pyrazole heterocycles 4a–o (2-(1H-benzo[d] imidazol-1-yl)-1- (3, 5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H- pyrazol-1-yl) ethan-1-one) were synthesized by simple synthetic protocol. The title compounds (4a-o) have been characterized by infrared spectroscopy, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy. Anti-bacterial activity of synthesised compounds was carried out in which 3-nitro derivatives 4e and 4o showed good activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strain in vitro.

Compound 4e was most potent against Gram negative bacteria (E. coli, MIZ= 21mm and E. aerogenes, MIZ = 24mm) in comparison to amoxycilin (E. coli, MIZ= 16mm and E. aerogenes, MIZ = 18mm) while compounds 4i (S. aureus, MIZ = 34mm;) and 4o (S. aureus MIZ = 36mm) were most active against Gram-positive bacteria of the series.
