DESIGN, SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF BENZOTHIAZOLE DERIVATIVES AS SIGNIFICANT ANTI-MICROBIAL AGENTS Authors: Sridaran C , VIJAY BABU A, PRIYA D* AND KATHIRAVAN MK
ABSTRACT
Most of the synthetic and natural compounds contain Benzothiazole nucleus that have various
pharmacological activities like Anti-microbial Anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal,
antioxidant, anti-tubercular, antineoplastic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and so on. Microbial
infections are the most widespread and dangerous infections in the world, caused by various
viable pathogens. Hence, due to the rise of microbial infections, and widespread use of
benzothiazole, the study is an attempt to identify a better anti-microbial agent through in
silico studies. The binding energies of benzothiazole bearing chloro and nitro substitutions
were to be -7.87 and -7.72 against the protein with PDB ID 2EG7. These two compounds
were synthesised and evaluated for in vitro anti-microbial activity.
