Methyl 2-ethoxy-1H-benzimidazole-4-carboxylate (and its 7-carboxylate isomer) mainly serves as a crucial intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly for making angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) like Azilsartan, used to treat hypertension, and potentially explored for other anti-cancer/parasitic drugs due to the benzimidazole core’s known biological activity.
