Only three benzimidazole carbamates, MMV1782387, MMV0031343 (fenbendazole) and MMV344625 (carbendazim) were tested in vivo, while the rest wasn’t able to inhibit M. mycetomatis growth at 25μM. Due to MMY1782387 and fenbendazole’s efficacy in vivo, benzimidazole carbamates are a promising group of compounds to investigate as part of the MycetOS initiative in search for novel drugs to treat eumycetoma.
