INTRODUCTION
The small and simple benzothiazole nucleus is present in compounds involved in research aimed
at evaluating new products that possess interesting biological activities like- antitumour1-4,
antimicrobial5-7,, antitubercular8, antimalarial9, anticonvulsant10,11, anthelmintic12, analgesic
and anti-inflammatory activity.13,14 The benzothiazole ring is present in various marine or
terrestrial natural compounds, which have useful biological activities. Heterocycles containing
the thiazole moiety are present in many natural products such as bleomycin, epothilone A,
lyngbyabellin A & dolastatin 10.15 Benzothiazole is a privileged bicyclic ring system. Due to
their important pharmaceutical utilities, the synthesis of these compounds is of considerable
interests.
Chemistry of benzothiazole nucleus
Being a heterocyclic compound, benzothiazole finds use in research as a starting material for the
synthesis of larger, usually bioactive structures. Its aromaticity makes it relatively stable,
although as a heterocycle, it has reactive sites, which allow for functionalization. Benzothiazole
is a colorless, slightly viscous liquid with a melting point of 2°C, and a boiling point of 227-228
°C. The density of benzothiazole is 1.644 gm/ml, and molecular mass is 139.19 gmol-1.
Benzothiazole has no household use. It is used in industry and research.

Structure of benzothiazole (C7H5NS):

1-thia-3-azaindene

MEDICINAL IMPORTANCE of Benzothiazole NUCLEUS

A large number of therapeutic agents are synthesized with the help of Benzothiazole nucleus.
During recent years there have been some interesting developments in the biological activities of
benzothiazole derivatives. These compounds have special significance in the field of medicinal
chemistry due to their remarkable pharmacological potentialities.
Benzothiazole with analgesic activity:

Benzothiazole with antifungal activity:

The antifungal activity of 6-amino-2-n-pentylthiobenzothiazole (APB) against 26 strains of
genus Candida in vitro was studied by Bujdakova et al (1994).19 Susceptibility of 17 strains was
IC50 < 40 mmol/ml, of 7 strains IC50 = 40-80mmol/ml and of 2 strains IC50 = 80-200mmol/ml.

E2011(20), which induced preneoplastic foci in the rat liver, were investigated by comparing the
mutagenic activity of E2011, 6-aminobenzothiazole (a structure scaffold of E2011) and its
derivatives by Sato et al (2000).28 The results strongly suggest that E2011 has potential
activities in the rat liver in vivo after undergoing decarbonation, one of the metabolic pathways,
at the carbonyl moiety of oxazolidine ring to form mutagenic amine(s).

inhibit topoisomerase II activities. The results showed that 2-(3-Amino-4-methylphenyl)
benzothiazole (22) has high activity (IC50=71.7 mM).

(22)

Benzothiazole with anticancer/antitumour activity:

Novel benzothiazole derivatives have been synthesized via the corresponding imino-1,2,3-
dithiazoles by Beneteau et al (1999)1 and the cytotoxicity of some of these polyheterocyclic
compounds was studied. The 2-cyno-4,7-dimethoxybenzothiazole derivatives (23a) and (23b)

The synthesis of a series of new antitumour agents, the benzothiazole substituted quinol ether
and esters, is reported via hypervalent iodine mediated oxidation of hydroxylated 2-
phenylbenzothiazoles by Wells et al (2000).2 The products were found to be active in vitro
against human colon and breast cancer cell lines with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. In
both colon cell lines tested quinol ester compound (24) was the most potent (0.24µM for HCT-
116).

(24)
A series of sulfamate salt derivatives of the potent and selective 2-(4-aminophenyl)
benzothiazole antitumour agents has been prepared and their evaluation as potent prodrugs for
parentral administration carried out by Shi et al (2001).3 The salts were sparingly soluble in
aqueous media (pH 4-9), and degradation to the active free amines was shown to occur under
strongly acidic conditions. Studies focused on sulfamate salts (25a) and (25b) revealed that
neither was particularly soluble in water over the pH range 4-9 and, furthermore, decomposition
of salt (25b) to the active free base was evident only at acidic pH at 50°C. Since no degradation
of these compounds were found in biological matrices conducted as part of this study.

(25b)
The synthesis of a new series of antitumour 2-(4-aminophenyl)benzothiazole analogues,
substituted in the 3´-position by cyano or alkynyl groups, was described by Hutchinson et al
(2003).4 Several of the analogues, notably the 5-fluorinated compounds (26) and (27), were
found to possess potent in vitro activity against MCF-7 and MDA 468 human cancer cell lines.
More comprehensive in vitro analysis (NCI 60-cell line) establish compound (26) as a particular
potent and selective 2-(4- aminophenyl) benzothiazole analogue.

The title compounds 2-[2-(bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino)-methyl]-benzothiazoles were synthesized
by Murugan et al (2004)31 by the reactions of corresponding 2-[2-(bis-(2-
hydroxyethyl)amino)methyl] benzothiazole with phosphorous trichloride and phosphorus
oxychloride. The biological evaluation of the compounds was carried out by various methods
such as short-term in vitro cytotoxic activity and
in vitro anticancer screening. Compounds (28a) and (28b) showed significant anticancer activity.

Based on 2-methyl-4-nitro-2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylicacid [2-(cyclohexanecarbonylamino)

benzothiazole-6-yl]amide, which shows selective cytotoxicity against tumorigenic cell lines, 2,6-
dichloro-N-[2-(cyclopropanecarbonylamino)benzothiazole-6-yl]benzamide was designed and
synthesized by Yoshida et al (2005)32 as a biologically derivative containing no nitro group. The
highly potent derivative (29) exhibited excellent in vivo inhibitory effect on tumour growth.

The 2-arylsubstituted benzothiazole derivatives were synthesized by Kini et al (2007)33 by

refluxing
o-aminothiophenol with substituted benzoic acids in the presence of polyphosphoric acid at
220°C. The screening for antitumour activity was done and three compounds (30a), (30b) and
(30c) were found to be significantly cytotoxic as compared to other derivatives.

medicine, due to potential activities exhibited by them. The biological profiles of these new
generations of benzothiazoles represent much progress with regards to older compounds.
Looking into the medicinal importance of benzothiazole moiety, it was thought worthwhile to
synthesize certain newer derivatives of benzothiazole and screen them for their biological
activities.
