A novel series of biphenyl carbonyl piperazine moiety carrying benzimidazole derivatives, based on an initial design by molecular docking study of this scaffold at the active site of the fungal enzyme of cytochrome P450 family, lanosterol 14 α -demethylase (CYP51) was synthesized by microwave irradiation. The synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental and spectral analysis (IR, 1H NMR and mass spectrometry).The screening of the synthesized compounds for invitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans revealed activity in many of the compounds as comparable to that of ketoconazole.
