SCOPE OF BENZOTHIAZOLE SCAFFOLD: A REVIEW Authors: Kaur H , KAUR G, LATA S, BHANDARI DD* AND SINGH G
ABSTRACT
Reviewing, the issue of antimicrobial resistance, which is one of the most urgent topic of public
health today, chemists are working towards the development of medicinal agents of therapeutic
importance. The development of resistance such as multi-drug resistance towards various
antibiotics or adopted by bacterial strains possesses a challenge to the scientific community for
the innovation of new remedies. Thus, there is an ample need to develop newer and more
effective drug molecules with high safety profiles. The main objective is to find synthetic
chemical compounds that can be fused with a number of heterocyclic to generate medicinal
compounds of therapeutic importance. One of such compound is Benzothiazole consisting of
a benzene ring fused with the d face (4, 5 position) of thiazole. The benzothiazole moiety
possesses various biological activities thus representing as an active biological compound with
diverse properties. This review focuses on already available benzothiazole nucleus containing
drugs and their action and also about the various modifications that can be done on this moiety.
