Abstract Benzimidazoles and quinoxalinones are present in the core of many pharmacologically relevant compounds. Several combinatorial methods have been developed to attach ring systems to both scaffolds for derivatization at select positions. Herein, we describe the development of novel constrained heterocyclic compounds attached to the N1 position of both benzimidazole and quinoxalinone scaffolds. Utilizing robust post‐Ugi cyclization methods, including the Ugi‐deprotection‐cyclization (UDC) methodology, allows for efficient access to a new area of chemical space. Additionally, molecular modeling and in cellulo screening was employed to therapeutically validate the compounds formed with this method.
