Twenty new isatin-3-[N 2 -(benzimidazol-1-acetyl)]hydrazones ( IV ) were synthesized from ten different isatin-3-[N 2 –(chloroacetyl)] hydrazones ( III ) by reacting with benzimidazole and 2-methyl benzimidazole. The intermediates were obtained from isatin hydrazones ( II ) on condensation with chloroacetyl chloride. These compounds were characterized by IR, 1 H NMR and mass spectra. All the compounds were screened for antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activity. Some of the new compounds showed promising antibacterial and antifungal activity.
