Abstract
Candida albicans, an opportunistic pathogen, is the most common type of fungus and represents a substantial source of human invasive disease (nosocomial infection). This category of fungi are part of our microbiota, and given the appropriate environmental conditions, it has the potential to cause both superficial and systemic infections. There is a soaring resistance against the available anticandidal agents. The purpose of this research is to investigate the activity of certain previously synthesized benzo[g]quinazolines against C. albicans in vitro by using the cup-plate diffusion method. There was a marked difference in the effectiveness of the target compounds 1-6 against the sample of C. albicans that was tested. Benzo[g]quinazolines 1 (inhibition zone = 20 mm) and 2 (inhibition zone = 22 mm) had good effects in comparison to fluconazole (inhibition zone = 26 mm). A docking study was conducted between benzo[g]quinazolines 1-6 and Candida spp. CYP51 to establish the binding mode compared with fluconazole and VT-1161 (oteseconazole) as reference medicines, and it was determined that binding at the active site of Candida spp. CYP51 occurred in the same manner. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) investigation was performed to further characterize the identified anticandidal agents and recognize the major regulatory components governing such activity. In future studies, the benzo[g]quinazoline scaffold could serve as a model for the design and development of novel derivatives with antifungal potential.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is the product or aetiology of various multifactorial diseases; on the other hand, the development of multifunctional compounds is a recognized strategy for the control of complex diseases. To this end, a series of benzothiazole derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their multifunctional effectiveness as antioxidant, sunscreen (filter), antifungal and antiproliferative agents. Compounds were easily synthesized via condensation reaction between 2-aminothiophenols and different benzaldehydes. SAR study, particularly in position 2 and 6 of benzothiazoles, led to the identification of 4g and 4k as very interesting potential compounds for the design of multifunctional drugs. In particular, compound 4g is the best blocker of hERG potassium channels expressed in HEK 293 cells exhibiting 60.32% inhibition with IC50 = 4.79 μM.

Abstract
In recent years heterocyclic compounds analogues and derivatives have attracted wide attention due to their useful biological and pharmacological properties. Benzothiazole is among the usually occurring heterocyclic nuclei in many marine as well as natural plant products. Benzothiazole is a privileged bicyclic ring system with multiple applications. It is known to exhibit a wide range of biological properties including anticancer, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antitubercular activities. 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. This review is mainly an attempt to present the research work reported in the recent scientific literature on different biological activities of benzothiazole compounds.
