Abstract
The work presented in the manuscript describes a simple strategy for transforming thermally activated delayed fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes (TADF OLEDs) compound 10-(dibenzo[a,c]phenazin-11-yl)-10H-phenoxazine (DPZ-PXZ) into type I photosensitizer 10-(dibenzo[a,c]phenazin-11-yl)-10H-phenothiazine (DPZ-PHZ) by strategically introducing sulfur atom in the photosensitizing core. The synthesized compound DPZ-PHZ exhibits aggregation-induced enhancement (AIE) and through-space charge transfer (TSCT) characteristics and generates red emissive assemblies in mixed aqueous media. The original compound DPZ-PXZ exhibits well-separated HOMO and LUMO levels and is reported to have highly efficient reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). In comparison, the incorporation of sulfur atom in the phenothiazine donor regulates the electronic communication between donor and acceptor units and promotes the intersystem crossing (ISC) in DPZ-PHZ molecules. Interestingly, compound DPZ-PHZ exhibits rapid activation of aerial oxygen for instant generation of superoxide radical anion. Backed by excellent type I photosensitizing activity, DPZ-PHZ assemblies have high catalytic potential for the synthesis of benzimidazoles, benzothiazoles and quinazolines derivatives under mild reaction conditions. The work presented in the manuscript provides an insight into the combination of heavy atom approach and TSCT for achieving adequate electronic communication between donor and acceptor units, balanced RISC/ISC, and stabilized-charge separated state for the development of efficient type I photosensitizing assemblies.

Abstract
α-Glycosidase inhibition is one of the main approaches to treat Diabetes mellitus. Polyphenolic moieties are known to be responsible for yielding exhibit potent α-glycosidase inhibitory effects. In addition, compounds containing benzothiazole and Schiff base functionalities were previously reported to show α-glycosidase inhibition. In this paper, the synthesis of seven new phloroglucinol-containing benzothiazole Schiff base derivatives through the reaction of 6-substituted-2-aminobenzothiazole compounds with 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde using acetic acid as a catalyst was reported. The synthesized compounds were characterized using spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on α-glycosidase, compounds 3f and 3g were found to show significant inhibitory properties when compared to the positive control. The IC50 values of 3f and 3g were calculated as 24.05 ± 2.28 and 18.51 ± 1.19 µM, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed that compounds 3f and 3g exhibited uncompetitive mode of inhibition against α-glycosidase. Molecular modeling predicted druglikeness for the title compounds and underpinned the importance of phloroglucinol hydroxyls for interacting with the key residues of α-glycosidase.

Abstract
Understanding protein sequence and structure is essential for understanding protein-protein interactions (PPIs), which are essential for many biological processes and diseases. Targeting protein binding hot spots, which regulate signaling and growth, with rational drug design is promising. Rational drug design uses structural data and computational tools to study protein binding sites and protein interfaces to design inhibitors that can change these interactions, thereby potentially leading to therapeutic approaches. Artificial intelligence (AI), such as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), has advanced drug discovery and design by providing computational resources and methods. Quantum chemistry is essential for drug reactivity, toxicology, drug screening, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) properties. This review discusses the methodologies and challenges of identifying and characterizing hot spots and binding sites. It also explores the strategies and applications of artificial-intelligence-based rational drug design technologies that target proteins and protein-protein interaction (PPI) binding hot spots. It provides valuable insights for drug design with therapeutic implications. We have also demonstrated the pathological conditions of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and matrix metallopoproteinases (MMP2 and MMP9) and designed inhibitors of these proteins using the drug discovery paradigm in a case study on the discovery of drug molecules for cancer treatment. Additionally, the implications of benzothiazole derivatives for anticancer drug design and discovery are deliberated.

Abstract
A novel small molecule based on benzothiazole-piperazine has been identified as an effective multi-target-directed ligand (MTDL) against Alzheimer's disease (AD). Employing a medicinal chemistry approach, combined with molecular docking, MD simulation, and binding free energy estimation, compound 1 emerged as a potent MTDL against AD. Notably, compound 1 demonstrated efficient binding to both AChE and Aβ1-42, involving crucial molecular interactions within their active sites. It displayed a binding free energy (ΔGbind) -18.64± 0.16 and -16.10 ± 0.18 kcal/mol against AChE and Aβ1-42, respectively. In-silico findings were substantiated through rigorous in vitro and in vivo studies. In vitro analysis confirmed compound 1 (IC50=0.42 μM) as an effective, mixed-type, and selective AChE inhibitor, binding at both the enzyme's catalytic and peripheral anionic sites. Furthermore, compound 1 demonstrated a remarkable ability to reduce the aggregation propensity of Aβ, as evidenced by Confocal laser scanning microscopy and TEM studies. Remarkably, in vivo studies exhibited the promising therapeutic potential of compound 1. In a scopolamine-induced memory deficit mouse model of AD, compound 1 showed significantly improved spatial memory and cognition. These findings collectively underscore the potential of compound 1 as a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of AD.

Abstract
Benzothiazole (BTH), benzotriazole (BTR), and their respective derivatives (BTHs and BTRs) are emerging environmental pollutants with widespread human exposure and oncogenic potential. Studies have demonstrated adverse effects of exposure to certain BTHs and BTRs on the respiratory system. However, no study has examined the associations between exposure to BTHs and BTRs and lung cancer risk. We aimed to examine the associations between urinary concentrations of BTHs and BTRs and the risk of lung cancer in the general population from Quzhou, China. We conducted a nested case-control study in an ongoing prospective Quzhou Environmental Exposure and Human Health (QEEHH) cohort, involving 20, 694 participants who provided urine samples during April 2019-July 2020. With monthly follow-up until November 2022, 212 lung cancer cases were recruited and 1:1 matched with healthy controls based on age and sex. We estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of lung cancer risk associated with urinary BTHs and BTRs concentrations using conditional logistic regression models after controlling for potential covariates. We also examined effect modification by several covariates, including sex, socioeconomic status, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and dietary habit. Creatinine-corrected urinary BTH and 2-hydroxy-benzothiazole (2-OH-BTH) levels were significantly associated with the risk of lung cancer, after adjusting for a variety of covariates. Participants in the highest quartile of BTH had a 95% higher risk of lung cancer, compared with those in the lowest quartile (adjusted OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.08-3.49; p for trend = 0.01). Participants with higher levels of urinary 2-OH-BTH had an 83% higher risk of lung cancer than those with lower levels (adjusted OR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.16-2.88; p for trend = 0.01). Exposure to elevated levels of BTH and 2-OH-BTH may be associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. These associations were not modified by socio-demographic characteristics.

Abstract
Substantially polluted tunnel wash water (TWW) is produced during road tunnel maintenance. Previous literature has reported the presence of trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, it was hypothesized that other organic pollutants are present, and more knowledge is needed to prevent environmental harm. This study reveals for the first time the presence of four short- and 17 long-chained per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), three benzothiazoles (BTHs), six benzotriazoles (BTRs), four bisphenols, and four benzophenones in TWW from a Norwegian road tunnel over a period of three years. Concentrations of PAHs, PFASs, BTHs, and BTRs were higher than previously reported in e.g., road runoff and municipal wastewater. Trace elements and PAHs were largely particulate matter associated, while PFASs, BTHs, BTRs, bisphenols, and benzophenones were predominantly dissolved. 26 of the determined contaminants were classified as persistent, mobile, and toxic (PMT) and are of special concern. It was recommended that regulations for TWW quality should be expanded to include PMT contaminants (such as PFPeA, PFBS, BTR, and 4-OH-BzP) and markers of pollution (like 2-M-BTH, 2-OH-BTH, and 2-S-BTH from tire wear particles). These findings highlight the need to treat TWW before discharge into the environment, addressing both, particulate matter associated and dissolved contaminants.

Abstract
As a result of our continued efforts to pursue Gal-3 inhibitors that could be used to fully evaluate the potential of Gal-3 as a therapeutic target, two novel series of benzothiazole derived monosaccharides as potent (against both human and mouse Gal-3) and orally bioavailable Gal-3 inhibitors, represented by 4 and 5, respectively, were identified. These discoveries were made based on proposals that the benzothiazole sulfur atom could interact with the carbonyl oxygen of G182/G196 in h/mGal-3, and that the anomeric triazole moiety could be modified into an N-methyl carboxamide functionality. The interaction between the benzothiazole sulfur and the carbonyl oxygen of G196 in mGal-3 was confirmed by an X-ray co-crystal structure of early lead 9, providing a rare example of using a S···O binding interaction for drug design. It was found that for both the series, methylation of 3-OH in the monosaccharides caused no loss in h & mGal-3 potencies but significantly improved permeability of the molecules.

Abstract
Dyes derived from benzothiazoles are an important class of heterocycles which have remarkable photophysical properties. New photoluminescent 2-phenylbenzothiazole derivatives containing different functional groups were synthesized in high yields and used for silylated derivatives synthesis. The new photoactive compounds were fully characterized and their photophysical properties were investigated. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the benzothiazoles and their silylated derivatives were evaluated in a series of organic solvents. The results showed that the benzothiazoles present absorption in the ultraviolet range and emission in the blue region with moderate quantum yields and large Stokes shift. The solvatochromism of these compounds was investigated by using Lippert and ET(30) Dimroth-Reichardt empirical solvent polarity scales. The dipole moments obtained by Bakshiev and Kawaski-Chamma-Viallet equations revealed that the excited states were more polar than the ground states.

Abstract
In this work, we utilized the molecular hybridization strategy to design and synthesize novel 1,2,3-triazole benzothiazole derivatives K1-26. The antiproliferative activities against MGC-803, Kyse30 and HCT-116 cells were explored, and their structure-activity relationship were preliminarily conducted and summarized. Among them, compound K18, exhibited the strongest proliferation inhibitory activity, with esophageal cancer cells Kyse30 and EC-109 being the most sensitive to its effects (IC50 values were 0.042 and 0.038 μM, respectively). Compound K18 effectively inhibited tubulin polymerization (IC50 = 0.446 μM), thereby hindering tubulin polymerize into filamentous microtubules in Kyse30 and EC-109 cells. Additionally, compound K18 induced the degradation of oncogenic protein YAP via the UPS pathway. Based on these dual molecular-level effects, compound K18 could induce G2/M phase arrest and cell apoptosis in Kyse30 and EC-109 cells, as well as regulate the expression levels of cell cycle and apoptosis-related proteins. In summary, our findings highlight a novel 1,2,3-triazole benzothiazole derivative K18, which possesses significant potential for treating esophageal cancers.

Abstract
The excited state relaxation dynamics of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT) in the gas phase and the solvents have been explored experimentally and theoretically. However, the fundamental mechanism of its emission in aggregates is still unexplored. In this article, we have presented a detail investigation of solvent-regulated excited state (ES) reactions for HBT aggregates with the aid of several experimental and theoretical research. The careful investigation of solvatochromic and electrochemical behavior elucidates that the emission around 460 nm of HBT in DMSO and DMSO-water fraction correspond to the excited state internal charge transfer (ESICT). The quantum chemical analysis further supports this observation. The concentration-dependent 1H NMR and emission studies of HBT in DMSO revealed the formation of aggregates at higher concentrations that facilitate the charge transfer. The emission pattern of HBT in the AcN-water fraction demonstrates that the sequential internal charge transfer-proton transfer (ESICT-ESIPT) occurs in HBT aggregates. The pH studies show that HBT aggregates are potential ratiometric sensors for near-physiological pH ranges. Moreover, a ground-state zwitterionic conformation of HBT is observed in the basic medium formed by ground-state internal proton transfer (GSIPT). Overall, this study provides a better understanding of solvent-regulated ES reaction mechanism in the case of HBT aggregates and other substituted HBT compound aggregates published previously.

Abstract
Breast cancer stands as the most prevalent malignancy among the female populace. One of the pivotal domains in the therapeutic landscape of breast cancer revolves around the precise targeting of the p53-MDM2 inhibitory pathway. The advent of p53-MDM2 inhibition in the context of developing treatments for breast cancer marks a significant stride. In the quest for enhancing the efficacy of p53-MDM2 inhibition against breast cancer, a new series of benzothiazole compounds (B1-B30) was designed through in-silico methodologies in the present work. Using Schrodinger Maestro, the compounds underwent molecular docking assessments against the p53-MDM2 target (PDB: 4OGT). Compared to reference compounds, B25 and B12 exhibited notably elevated glide scores. Extensive in-silico studies, including ADMET and toxicity evaluations, were performed to predict pharmacokinetics, drug likeness, and toxicity. All compounds adhered to Lipinski criteria, signifying favorable oral drug properties. The MM-GBSA analysis indicated consistent binding free energies. Molecular dynamics simulations for B25 over 200 ns assessed complex stability and interactions. In summary, these compounds exhibit potential for future cancer therapy medication development.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In this study, new benzothiazole-pyrimidine hybrids (5a-c, 6, 7a-f, and 8-15) were designed and synthesised. Two different functionalities on the pyrimidine moiety of lead compound 4 were subjected to a variety of chemical changes with the goal of creating various functionalities and cyclisation to further elucidate the target structures. The potency of the new molecules was tested against different tuberculosis (TB) strains. The results indicated that compounds 5c, 5b, 12, and 15 (MIC = 0.24-0.98 µg/mL) are highly active against the first-line drug-sensitive strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (ATCC 25177). Thereafter, the anti-tubercular activity was evaluated against the two drug-resistant TB strains; ATCC 35822 and RCMB 2674, where, many compounds exhibited good activity with MIC = 0.98-62.5 3 µg/mL and 3.9-62.5 µg/mL, respectively. Compounds 5c and 15 having the highest anti-tubercular efficiency towards sensitive strain, displayed the best activity for the resistant strains by showing the MIC = 0.98 and 1.95 µg/mL for MDR TB, and showing the MIC = 3.9 and 7.81 µg/mL for XDR TB, consecutively. Finally, molecular docking studies were performed for the two most active compounds 5c and 15 to explore their enzymatic inhibitory activities.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death globally and has been associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The angiogenesis-related VEGFR-2 is a common target between cancer and Mtb. Here, we aimed to synthesize and validate potent dual human VEGFR-2 inhibitors as anticancer and anti-mycobacterial agents. Two series of 1,2,4-triazole-based compounds (6a-l and 11a-e) were designed and synthesized through a molecular hybridization approach. Activities of all synthesized compounds were evaluated against human VEGFR-2 in addition to drug-sensitive, multidrug-resistant and extensive-drug resistant Mtb. Compounds 6a, 6c, 6e, 6f, 6h, 6l, 11a, 11d and 11e showed promising inhibitory effect on VEGFR-2 (IC50 = 0.15 - 0.39 µM), anti-proliferative activities against cancerous cells and low cytotoxicity against normal cells. The most potent compounds (6e and 11a) increased apoptosis percentage. Additionally, compounds 6h, 6i, 6l and 11c showed the highest activities against all Mtb strains, and thus were evaluated against enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) which is essential for Mtb cell wall synthesis. Interestingly, the compounds showed excellent InhA inhibition activities with IC50 range of 1.3 - 4.7 µM. Docking study revealed high binding affinities toward targeted enzymes; human VEGFR-2 and Mtb InhA. In conclusion, 1,2,4-triazole analogues are suggested as potent anticancer and antimycobacterial agents via inhibition of human VEGFR-2 and Mtb InhA.

Abstract
The oncogenic BRAFV600E kinase leads to abnormal activation of the MAPK signaling pathway and thus, uncontrolled cellular proliferation and cancer development. Based on our previous virtual screening studies which issued 2-acetamido-1,3 benzothiazole-6-carboxamide scaffold as active pharmacophore displaying selectivity against the mutated BRAF, eleven new substituted benzothiazole derivatives were designed and synthesized by coupling of 2-acetamidobenzo[d]thiazole-6-carboxylic acid with the appropriate amines in an effort to provide even more efficient inhibitors and tackle drug resistance often developed during cancer treatment. All derived compounds bore the benzothiazole scaffold substituted at position-2 by an acetamido moiety and at position-6 by a carboxamide functionality, the NH moiety of which was further linked through an alkylene linker to a sulfonamido (or amino) aryl (or alkyl) functionality or a phenylene linker to a sulfonamido aromatic (or non-aromatic) terminal pharmacophore in the order -C6 H4 -NHSO2 -R or reversely -C6 H4 -SO2 N(H)-R. These analogs were subsequently biologically evaluated as potential BRAFV600E inhibitors and antiproliferative agents in several colorectal cancer and melanoma cell lines. In all assays applied, one analog, namely 2-acetamido-N-[3-(pyridin-2-ylamino)propyl]benzo[d]thiazole-6-carboxamide (22), provided promising results in view of its use in drug development.

Abstract
To eliminate the potential health risks of mercury, development of stable and selective mercury sensor with high sensitivity is the need of the hour. To address this, a novel PEDOT-AA-BTZ-Au-based Hg2+ selective, hybrid electrochemical sensor has been designed by following a simple protocol for electrode fabrication. The electrode was designed by carefully optimizing the onset oxidation potential of supramolecule 2-(anthracen-9-yl)benzo[d]thiazole (AA-BTZ) and conducting polymer poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), using copolymerization approach followed by dropcasting of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The designed electrode offered synergistic effects thus augmenting the electrical conductivity and adsorption capacity as depicted by its porous surface morphology. The highly sensitive analytical signal was generated by sulphur pockets present in AA-BTZ and PEDOT conducting framework. This is further complemented by the selectivity offered by the soft interactions between AuNPs and Hg2+ resulting in a low detection limit of 0.60 nM. The prepared system was further utilized for sensing Hg2+ ion in real systems including lake water and cosmetic samples. Low interference from other ions and better reproducibility further established the suitability of the designed transducer system for future on-site sensing.

Abstract
2-Pyrazoline containing benzothiazole ring 2-[1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]phenol (BP) have been synthesized for the effective identification of picric acid over other competing nitro compounds using fluorescence technique. The pyrazoline BP showed quenching efficiency as high as 82% comparative to other nitro aromatics. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were found to be 1.1 μM and 3.3 μM. The possible mechanism with the quenched PA detection efficiency was based on fluorescence energy transfer and photoinduced electron transfer. Moreover, the observed results were supported by the optimized structures of the compounds using the DFT/B3LYP/6-311G/LanL2DZ method. Eventually, the pyrazoline derivative BP was further utilized for natural water samples, showing recoveries in the 87.62-101.09% and RSD was less than 3%.

Abstract
Previously, 1-((4-(4-bromophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-3-(5-(pyridin-2-ylthio)thiazol-2-yl)urea bearing a p-bromine substitution was shown to possess selective inhibitory activity against the Clostridioides difficile enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase II enzyme, FabK. Inhibition of CdFabK by this compound translated to promising antibacterial activity in the low micromolar range. In these studies, we sought to expand our knowledge of the SAR of the phenylimidazole CdFabK inhibitor series while improving the potency of the compounds. Three main series of compounds were synthesized and evaluated based on: 1) pyridine head group modifications including the replacement with a benzothiazole moiety, 2) linker explorations, and 3) phenylimidazole tail group modifications. Overall, improvement in the CdFabK inhibition was achieved, while maintaining the whole cell antibacterial activity. Specifically, compounds 1-((4-(4-bromophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-3-(5-((3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)thio)thiazol-2-yl)urea, 1-((4-(4-bromophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-3-(6-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)urea, and 1-((4-(4-bromophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-3-(6-chlorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)urea showed CdFabK inhibition (IC50 = 0.10 to 0.24 μM), a 5 to 10-fold improvement in biochemical activity relative to 1-((4-(4-bromophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)-3-(5-(pyridin-2-ylthio)thiazol-2-yl)urea, with anti-C. difficile activity ranging from 1.56 to 6.25 μg/mL. Detailed analysis of the expanded SAR, supported by computational analysis, is presented.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and RIPK3, two imperative targets of the necroptosis pathway, are associated with various inflammatory-related diseases. Regulating kinase activity with inhibitors has been confirmed as a promising strategy for inflammation treatment. However, most of the reported type I and II kinase inhibitors of RIPK1 and RIPK3, including benzothiazole compounds discovered by our group, have selective limitations due to interaction with ATP-binding pockets. Fortunately, a solvent exposure E0 region of the kinase domain, which extends into the linker region, has been reported to be related to the potency and selectivity of inhibitors. Hence, based on our previous study, a series of benzothiazole necroptosis inhibitors with chiral substitutions in the linker region were developed to investigate RIPK1/3 inhibitory potency. The results showed a 2-to 6-fold increase in anti-necroptotic activity for these chiral compounds. The improved selectivity on RIPK1 or RIPK3 was demonstrated on different derivatives. Predicted binding conformations of enantiomers with RIPK1/3 gave an explanation for their activity differences, guiding further rational design of chiral necroptosis inhibitors.

Abstract
1,3-Diphenylguanidine (DPG), benzothiazole (BTH), benzotriazole (BTR), and their derivatives are high-production-volume chemicals widely used in tires, corrosion inhibitors and plastic products. Vehicular traffic is an important source of these chemicals in the environment. Despite this, little is known about the occurrence of these chemicals in roadside soils. In this study, we determined the concentrations, profiles, and distribution patterns of 3 DPGs, 5 BTHs, and 7 BTRs in 110 soil samples collected from northeastern United States. We found widespread occurrence of 12 out of the 15 analytes measured in roadside soils, at detection frequencies ≥71 % and median concentrations in the range of 0.38-380 ng/g (dry weight). DPGs were the predominant chemicals accounting for 63 % of the sum concentrations of three chemical classes determined, followed by BTHs (28 %) and BTRs (9 %). The concentrations of all analytes (except for 1-, 4-, and 5-OH-BTRs) exhibited significant positive correlations (r: 0.1-0.9, p < 0.01), suggestive of their common sources and/or similar environmental fates. Higher concentrations of DPGs, BTHs and BTRs were found in soils from highways, rubberized playgrounds, and indoor parking lots than those from gardens, parks, and residential areas. Our findings suggest the release of DPGs, BTHs and BTRs from rubber products. Further studies are needed to investigate the environmental fate of these chemicals and their toxicities to humans and wildlife.

Abstract
Amines are extensively present in biological systems and are abundantly used in research, industries and agriculture. Systematic detection and quantification of certain amines can help us in food quality control and diagnosis of many diseases. A Schiff base probe HL was designed and successfully synthesized. It was proposed as a sensor for the exclusive detection of 1, 3- diaminopropane through turn-on fluorescence response in a variety of solvents including water. Micromolar limits of detection was achieved in all these solvents. Mechanism of detection was proposed by investigating mass spectrometric and NMR results. These were corroborated with DFT/TD-DFT calculations. Spiking experiments performed in various real water samples revealed the potential of the sensor to be used in day-to-day applications. Paper strip experiments demonstrated the suitability of the probe for real-life applications.

Abstract
Benzotriazoles (BTRs) and benzothiazoles (BTHs) are emerging benzo-heterocyclic compounds that may induce neurotoxicity. However, the effect of prenatal exposure to BTs (BTRs and BTHs) on child neurodevelopment has not been elucidated. We aimed to explore the associations between maternal urinary concentrations of BTs in single or in mixture with child neurodevelopment at the age of two. This study recruited 513 mother-child pairs based on a birth cohort from 2014 to 2015 in Wuhan. Maternal urinary concentrations of eight BTs (four BTRs and four BTHs) in the first, second, and third trimesters were measured. The mental development index (MDI) and psychomotor development index (PDI) of children, as two indexes of neurodevelopment, were assessed at two years old by the Bayley Scales. In the analyses of single BTs, prenatal average tolyltriazole (TTR) exposure level was associated with decreased boys' MDI scores (β = -2.84, 95 % CI: -5.11, -0.57) and prenatal average 1-H-benzotriazole (1-H-BTR) exposure level was associated with decreased boys' PDI scores (β = -1.44, 95 % CI: -2.70, -0.17), respectively. Maternal urinary concentrations of benzothiazole (BTH) in the 1st trimester (β = -1.79, 95 % CI: -2.78, -0.80), 2nd trimester (β = -1.14, 95 % CI: -2.19, -0.09), and the prenatal average exposure (β = -2.15, 95 % CI: -3.69, -0.61) were also negatively associated with boys' PDI scores. However, no significantly negative association was observed among girls. In the further mixture analysis, the quantile g-computation model found a significant negative association between prenatal average concentrations of BTs in mixture and boys' PDI scores [β = -4.80 (95 % CI: -9.08, -0.52)], and BTH weighted the highest in the negative association. As far as we know, this is the first research to estimate the effect of prenatal exposure to BTs on child neurodevelopment. The findings showed that prenatal exposure to BTs was negatively associated with neurodevelopment among boys, suggesting that the associations may be modified by infant sex.

Abstract
We discovered a lead compound, N-methylbenzo[d]oxazol-2-amine (2a), which had comparable potency to albendazole, an orally administered anthelminticdrug, against Gnathostoma spinigerum, Caenorhabditis elegans and Trichinella spiralis. Compound 2a showed about 10 times lower cytotoxicity towards normal human cell line (HEK293) than albendazole. Moreover, we have developed new processes for the synthesis of N-alkylbenzo[d]oxazol-2-amine and N-alkylbenzo[d]thiazol-2-amine derivatives via metal-free conditions. This protocol could serve as a robust and scalable method, especially, to synthesize N-methylbenzo[d]oxazol-2-amine and N-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-2-amine derivatives which were difficult to prepare using other metal-free conditions. The method employed benzoxazole-2-thiol or benzothiazole-2-thiol as the substrate. The reaction was triggered by methylation of the thiol functional group to form the methyl sulfide intermediate, a crucial tactic, which facilitated in a smooth nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction with gaseous methylamine generated in situ from N-methylformamide. In addition, the proteomic analysis of compound 2a was also studied in this work.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds constitute the most important part of medicinal as well as organic chemistry. Most of the marketed drugs possess therapeutic activity because of the presence of heterocyclic scaffolds as part of their structure. A slight change in the structure of the heterocyclic moieties may result in a major change in the therapeutic response of the drug candidate. Among all heterocycle compounds, the compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur atoms serve as a unique resource for drug development, such as benzothiazoles. Benzothiazole is a benzofused heterocyclic that is widely reported as a constituent of naturally occurring chemicals and chiefly responsible for their pharmacological potential. It was also reported that the pharmacological activity of BTA may also be influenced by its coupling with aldehydes, ketones, or hydrazines to form respected benzothiazole-hydrazone derivatives. The present comprehensive review consists of various synthesis methods, biological activities, and structure-activity relationships of and targets of benzothiazole and benzothiazole-hydrazone derivatives to provide a wide range of information to medicinal chemists for future research work.

Abstract
Benzothiazole is a bicyclic heterocyclic compound that contains benzene fused with 1, 3- thiazole ring. Several researches established the potential of benzothiazoles as important moiety in various adverse pharmacological conditions. Benzothiazole and its derivatives have been in use and marketed as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-convulsant, antitumor, etc. The variations in pharmacological potentials of benzothiazole and its derivatives have been rational with their chemical structure. Nowadays, hybridization of two or more pharmacophores to synthesize a single molecule with potent pharmacological action is used. This helps to synergize pharmacological properties, make interaction possible with many targets, or minimize the adverse effects associated with them. Several synthetic approaches have been reported for benzothiazole and its derivatives. In this present review article, we focused on recently adopted synthetic approaches for the synthesis of the benzothiazole nucleus and its derivatives. The structure-activity relationship in relation to different pharmacological activities has also been highlighted to provide a good understanding to the researchers for future research on benzothiazoles.

Abstract
The infectious diseases caused by bacterial resistance to antibiotics constitute an increasing threat to human health on a global scale. An increasing number of infections, including tuberculosis, pneumonia, salmonellosis and gonorrhea, are becoming progressively challenging to cure owing to the ineffectiveness of current clinically used antibiotics and presents a serious health threat worldwide in medical community. The major concern of this global health threat is the ability of microorganisms to develop one or several mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics, making them inefficient to therapeutic treatment. The quest for discovering novel scaffold with antimicrobial property is particularly in great need to face future challenges in hospital and healthcare settings. Hence, the development of benzothiazoles is of considerable interest to medicinal chemists. Benzothiazole, being part of an important class of heterocyclic scaffold retains a wide spectrum of various attractive pharmacological activities. Antibiotic resistance represents an increasing burden comprising medical cost, hospital stay and mortality. Several derivatives containing a benzothiazole scaffold, reported in the literature, were found to display remarkable potencies towards diverse Grampositive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. The principal focus concerns the antibacterial potential of benzothiazole-based derivatives as antimicrobial agents interacting with targets in bacterial pathogens. In this review, we also disclose the significance of the benzothiazole moiety in the discovery of new antibacterial compounds, the potential of benzothiazole-based derivatives in the case of resistant bacterial strains, optimization of their antibacterial activity, and their future perspectives. The structure-activity relationship study and the mode of action of the title derivatives are highlighted too.

Abstract
Although soluble organic corrosion inhibitors (OCIs) have been observed globally in surface water, data on their exposures in sediments are still scarce. In this study, a comprehensive investigation on spatial variations and potential sources of OCIs were conducted in riverine sediments from the Pearl River Delta (PRD), one of the most developed and urbanized areas in China. Of 12 OCIs, 7 were detected with the total concentrations ranging from 81.8 to 401.2 ng/g. When the results were compared with those of the water phase, OCIs in the riverine sediments exhibited relatively low concentrations, which was likely due to their low Kow, and they were not expected to be adsorbed onto sediments. The spatial variation of OCIs suggested that the discharge of sewage treatment plants (STPs) effluent could be a major source of OCIs in the PRD region. The total concentrations of OCIs had a significant positive correlation with total organic carbon (TOC) contents, suggesting that they have similar sources. This study strongly indicated that the high consumption of OCIs have led to their wide exposure in different environments in the PRD region and additional ecotoxicological data are needed to evaluate their potential risks in riverine sediments in the future.

Abstract
In recent years, concerns have arisen from the chemicals incorporated into tire material which are of potential to leach with the tire and road wear particles (TRWP) into the environment. In this study, the distributions of substituted benzothiazoles (BTHs) and p-phenylenediamines (PPDs), two groups of representative TRWP-related chemicals, were investigated in various size fractions (<20, 20-53, 53-125, 125-250, 250-500, 500-1000 μm) of dust samples from open roads and indoor parking lots in the urban region of Guangzhou (Guangdong, China). Mass weight distribution of the dust samples showed that fractions of <250 μm accounted for >72% of the total dust in both microenvironments. Widespread occurrence was observed with >80% detection frequency for almost all target compounds in all the particle fractions. Concentrations of BTHs and PPDs were similar between the two dust matrices. In addition, the newly defined transformation product of 6PPD, 6PPD-Q was at the median concentration of 122 ng/g in road dust and 154 ng/g in indoor parking lot dust. Overall, concentrations of the target BTHs and PPDs varied in different size fractions, which were mostly dominated in fine particle sizes (<53 μm). Specially, >70% of the target compounds were in the size fractions of <250 μm, suggesting the necessity of using <250 μm fractions of particles for monitoring and evaluating contamination levels and exposure risks of BTHs and PPDs from dust in future studies.

Abstract
Glioma is the fast-growing, aggressive, and prevalent brain cancer with a great level of morbidity and mortality. Current therapy is usually found insufficient for glioma treatment. In the course of our research attempting to identify effective anti-glioma agents, three benzothiazole derivatives (1-3) were examined on U251 glioma cells. Among these derivatives, compound 3 was found to have the strongest cytotoxic effect on glioma cells with an IC50 value of 9.84 ± 0.64 μM in reference to cisplatin (IC50 = 8.41 ± 1.27 μM). Further mechanism of anti-glioma effects of compound 3 was characterized by the determination of its apoptotic effects in glioma cells and DNA cleaving capacity. Compound 3 caused a significant apoptotic death of U251 cell line. Besides, this compound cleaved DNA with FeSO4, H2O2 and ascorbic acid system. Molecular docking results also showed that compound 3 possessed a significant binding potential to DNA via important π-π stacking interaction with DG-16. Some pharmacokinetic determinants of compound 3 complied with standard limits making it as an efficient bioavailable anti-glioma drug candidate for upcoming exploration.

Abstract
Benzothiazole (BTH) is a typical refractory heterocyclic compound that can be used as a photosensitive material in organic synthesis and conditional plant resource research. The extensive use of BTH has led to high BTH concentrations in natural environment, such as in tap water and urine, which tend to inhibit animal hormone synthesis and induce genotoxicity. Traditional wastewater treatment processes cannot effectively remove BTH. Therefore, we aimed to use the electron beam method, an emerging method for pollutant degradation, to degrade BTH in water. Experiments showed that BTH can be effectively degraded (up to 90%) when the electron beam reaches 5 kGy and irradiation conformed perfectly to the pseudo first-order kinetics model. Experimental results showed that acidic conditions are more favorable for electron beam degradation of BTH, while the degradation of most other inorganic ions is inhibited (except SO42-). Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) was confirmed to play a major role in degradation by the experiment, and the mineralization rate was greatly increased by the addition of H2O2 and K2S2O8. In addition, our experimental and theoretical calculations showed that the degradation of BTH occurred mainly through the opening of the benzene ring. Theoretical calculations showed that the toxicity of BTH decreased significantly after electron beam degradation, making it an effective way to degrade BTH.

Abstract
Benzothiazole (BTH) is an aromatic heterocyclic compound with wide industrial applications. In view of its toxicity and wide environmental presence, previous efforts have been made to decompose BTH via different degradation pathways. However, due to its recalcitrant nature, conventional biological treatment methods cannot completely degrade BTH in the wastewater. In this study, sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) technique has been adopted to degrade BTH in aqueous phase. Persulfate (PS) was employed as radical promotor to generate sulfate radical via heat activation. Degradation of BTH by thermally activated persulfate via AOP has been experimentally evaluated in a systematic manner. Laboratory efforts have been made to examine the impact of a number of physiochemical parameters including the type of oxidants, reaction temperature, initial concentrations of PS and BTH, solution pH, and the presence of anionic species. It shows that a higher BTH degradation rate can be achieved by lowering BTH initial concentration or increasing PS concentration. Increasing solution pH or the presence of 10 mM of Cl-, Br-, CO32-, or HCO3- species can decrease BTH degradation rate. Furthermore, the primary radical(s) responsible for BTH degradation have been identified as sulfate radical at an acidic aqueous condition, and hydroxyl radical and sulfate radical combined at a basic condition. This study provides the necessary theoretical and technical foundations for BTH degradation via sulfate radical-based AOP technique. The conclusions from this study can substantially promote the field application of AOP, especially sulfate radical-based AOP technique, for BTH degradation in wastewater treatment process.

Abstract
Tire wear particles (TWPs) have been characterized as microplastics in recent years, and many of these TWPs will be eventually deposited in coastal areas, leading to adverse effects to marine organisms. Results of the acute toxicity test in this study showed that the 96-h LC50 values of the particles and leachate were 771.4 mg/L (95% CI = 684.4-869.6 mg/L) and 5.34 g/L (95% CI = 4.75-6.07 g/L), respectively. The chemical constituents of TWP and the leachate are very complex, and little research has been conducted to determine which of these constituents contribute to the toxicity of TWP leachate to marine organisms. Therefore, the composition of the TWP and leachate was analyzed, and a variety of chemicals were identified, including metals (Mn, Zn, etc.) and organic compounds (cyclohexanthiol, 4-ethyl-1,2-dimethylbenzene, benzothiazole, stearic acid, N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine, etc.). In addition, the marine copepod Tigriopus japonicus was applied as a model species in the toxicity identification evaluation study to characterize, identify and confirm the toxicity-causing substances in the TWP leachate. Zn was identified and confirmed as the main toxicant contributing to the toxicity. Furthermore, Zn concentrations in the leachate over time were investigated. The release of Zn from TWPs to the aquatic environment was slow, and conformed to a parabolic model with a release constant k of 2.06. The organic component, benzothiazole, exhibited an antagonistic effect with zinc in the acute toxicity of the TWP leachate.

Abstract
A benzothiazole-based fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensor BZD ((E)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-5-((4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)phenol) was applied for detecting ClO-. BZD showed fluorescence quenching and color variation for ClO- via oxidative reaction between ClO- and the imine bond. It could effectively detect ClO- over various competitive analytes. Detection limit for ClO- was calculated to be 1.74 μM by fluorescent method and 16.44 μM by colorimetric one, respectively. Additionally, BZD could be utilized for sensing ClO- in zebrafish, real water sample and paper strip. The photophysical characteristics and sensing mechanism of BZD to ClO- were studied by fluorescent and UV-visible spectroscopy, NMR titration, and ESI-mass spectrometry.

Abstract
The therapeutic potential of the majority of the marketed drugs is due to the presence of a heterocyclic nucleus, which constitutes a huge role in the field of medicinal chemistry. These heterocyclic scaffolds could act as a template in order to design potential therapeutic agents against several diseases. Benzothiazole scaffold is one of the influential heteroaromatic rings in the field of medicinal chemistry owing to its extensive pharmacological features. Herein, we have focused on the synthesis of benzothiazole based medicinal molecules, which possess antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. This review covers a systematic description of synthetic routes for biologically relevant benzothiazole derivatives in the last five years. The main aim of this study is to show the diversification of benzothiazole based molecules into their pharmacologically more active derivatives. This review's synthetic protocols include metal-free, metal-catalyzed, and metal precursor azo dyes strategies for the development of benzothiazole derived bioactive compounds. The discussion under the various headings covers synthetic schemes and biological activities of the most potent molecules in the form of minimum inhibitory concentration.

Abstract
A novel series of benzothiazole-based derivatives linked to various amino acids and their corresponding ethyl ester analogues were synthesized and were initially screened for their cytotoxic activity against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and human liver carcinoma (HepG-2) and were further assessed as VEGFR-2 inhibitors. All the newly synthesized benzothiazole derivatives showed promising cytotoxic activities against the tested cell lines. Derivatives exhibited potent cytotoxic and VEGFR-2 inhibitory activities were then evaluated further as anticancer agents against the resistant triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line (MDA-MB-231) and as EGFR inhibitors. The carboxylic acid derivatives 10-12 and their ester analogues 21-23 displayed the highest anticancer activities with IC50 of 0.73-0.89 µM, against MCF-7 and IC50 of 2.54-2.80 µM, against HepG-2; compared to doxorubicin (IC50 = 1.13 and 2.75 µM, respectively). In addition to their safety towards the normal cell line, the ethyl ester derivatives 21-23 showed a potent activity against the resistant MDA-MB-231 cell line with IC50 of 5.45-7.28 µM, relative to doxorubicin (IC50 = 7.46 µM) surpassing their carboxylic acid analogues 10-12 (IC50 of 8.88-11.02 µM). Furthermore, the promising derivatives 10-12 and 21-23 displayed promising VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.15-0.19 µM) comparable to that of sorafenib (IC50 = 0.12 µM). Against EGFR, the ethyl ester derivatives 21-23 showed superior inhibitory activity relative to the used reference standard, erlotinib, with IC50 of 0.11-0.16 vs. 0.18 µM, respectively. The QSAR study revealed that the molecular bulkiness and molecular partial charge distribution govern the kinase inhibition potency in this series. Furthermore, the molecular docking study in VEGFR-2 active site showed that the newly synthesized benzothiazole derivatives adopted the common binding pattern of type II PK inhibitors.

Abstract
The synthesis, photophysicochemical and photodynamic therapy (PDT) activity of benzothiazole substituted zinc phthalocyanine: 1 (asymmetrically substituted and composed of no charges), 2 (asymmetrically substituted and composed of three positive charges), and 3 (symmetrically substituted and composed of four positive charges), are presented. The triplet and singlet oxygen quantum yields were highest for complex 2 showing the importance of asymmetry and charge. The complexes are covalently and non-covalently linked to B doped detonation nanodiamonds (B@DNDs) to yield nanohybrids (B@DNDs-1, B@DNDs-2, B@DNDs-3). The presence of B@DNDs, asymmetry and positive charge resulted in improved PDT with the lowest cell viability being observed for B@DNDs-2 at 5%. The cell viability ranged from 5 to 7% for the nanohybrids compared to 19 to 26% for Pcs alone.

Abstract
The extensive usage of organic ultraviolet filters (UV filters) and benzothiazoles (BTs) has caused continuous and widespread pollution in the aquatic environment. This study investigated the occurrence of nine organic UV filters and eight BTs in the surface water and sediment of two major drinking water source rivers in the Pearl River Basin (PRB). The detection frequencies of six organic UV filters and seven BTs were above 50% in surface water, while eight target compounds were as high as 100%. Composition profiles revealed that 2-Hydroxybenzothiazole (2-OH-BTH, 1112 ng/L) and 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (2-SH-BTH, 426.3 ng/L) were the predominant compounds in surface water, while Octyl 4-methoxycinnamate (OMC, maximum concentration, 68.3 ng/g) and UV-329 (18.8 ng/g) were predominant in sediment. Significant positive correlations were observed between water quality parameters (temperature, total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN)) and organic UV filters (UV-327 and UV-P), indicating the domestic discharge. The calculated annual flux of targets compounds indicated that West River (WR) promoted more BTs and UV filters to the PRB than North River (NR) (BTs: WR22, 88,517 kg/year; NR13, 15,660 kg/year; UV filters: WR22, 28,332 kg/year; NR13, 1128 kg/year). Significant relationship between the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and annual flux of BTs (R2 = 0.96, p < 0.001), and UV filters (R2 = 0.88, p < 0.001) in the rivers were found by regression analysis. UV-329 was detected with medium risk (RQ > 0.1) in all WR surface water samples, and 2-SH-BTH was detected with high risk (RQ > 1) in half of the WR sediment samples. This study provides the first time reports on the organic UV filters and BTs in two major rivers in the Pearl River Basin, and further showed that these two types of contaminants are ubiquitous and with potential risks in surface water and sediment of PRB.

Abstract
This work deals with the design and synthesis of a series of new substituted 2-arylbenzothiazole compounds attached to 4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene ring 2-12 and chain elongation with different amino acids and their corresponding ester derivatives 13-18. All prepared derivatives were screened for their in vitro cytotoxicity activities against two cancer cell lines (HepG-2 and MCF-7) in comparison with doxorubicin; in addition to their safety towards thenormal cell line. Furthermore, all compounds 2-18 were evaluated as FGFR-1 inhibitors using AZD4547 as a reference. The 4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene derivatives 3 and 8 exhibited the highest cytotoxic activity (IC50 HepG-2 = 2.06, 2.21 µM and IC50 MCF-7 = 0.73, 0.77 µM, respectively) through their promising FGFR-1 suppression effects (IC50 = 16.31 and 18.08 nM, respectively) in comparison to AZD4547 (IC50 = 21.45 nM). Cell cycle and apoptosis analysis indicated that compounds 3 and 8 induce pronounced increase in the cell percentages at pre-G1 and G2/M phase compared to the untreated MCF-7 cancer cells, in addition to their up regulation of caspase-3/7/9. The molecular docking simulation was created to elucidate the binding modes of benzothiazole derivatives 1-18 bearing various scaffolds within the ATP-binding pocket of FGFR-1 enzyme compared with AZD4547.

Abstract
As an anti-tuberculosis target, DprE1 contains two flexible loops (Loop I and Loop II) which have never been exploited for developing DprE1 inhibitors. Here Leu317 in Loop II was discovered as a new functional site to combat drug-resistance in Mycobacterium strains. Based on TCA1, LZDT1 was designed to optimize the hydrophobic interaction with Leu317. A subsequent biochemical and cellular assay displayed increased potency of LZDT1 in inhibiting DprE1 and killing drug-sensitive/-resistant Mycobacterium strains. The improved activity of LZDT1 and its analogue LZDT2 against multidrug resistant tuberculosis was particularly highlighted. For LZDT1, its enhanced interaction with Leu317 also impaired the drug-insensitivity of DprE1 caused by Cys387 mutation. A new nonbenzothiazole lead (LZDT10) with reduced Cys387-dependence was further produced by optimizing interactions with Leu317, improvement directions for LZDT10 were discussed as well. Our research underscores the value of potential functional sites in disordered loops, and affords a feasible way to develop these functional sites into opportunities for drug-resistance management.

Abstract
Some urea-thiazole/benzothiazole hybrids with a triazole linker were synthesized via Cu(I)-catalysed click reaction. After successfully analysed by various spectral techniques including FTIR, NMR and HRMS, antimicrobial screening of the synthesized hybrids along with their precursors was carried out against two Gram (+) bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus endophyticus), two Gram (-) bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens) and two fungi (Candida albicans and Rhizopus oryzae). All the synthesized compounds (4a-4l) displayed better biological response than the standard fluconazole against both of the tested fungi. Compounds 4h and 4j were found to be the most active compounds against R. oryzae and C. albicans, respectively. Molecular docking of hybrid 4j and its alkyne precursor 1b in the active site of C. albicans target sterol 14-α demethylase was also performed and was also supported by molecular dynamics studies. In silico ADME prediction of synthesized urea-thiazole/benzothiazole hybrids with a triazole linker and their alkyne precursors was also predicted.

Abstract
Further clinical development of PF74, a lead compound targeting HIV-1 capsid, is impeded by low antiviral activity and inferior metabolic stability. By modifying the benzene (region I) and indole of PF74, we identified two potent compounds (7m and 7u) with significantly improved metabolic stability. Compared to PF74, 7u displayed greater metabolic stability in human liver microsomes (HLMs) with half-life (t1/2) 109-fold that of PF74. Moreover, mechanism of action (MOA) studies demonstrated that 7m and 7u effectively mirrored the MOA of compounds that interact within the PF74 interprotomer pocket, showing direct and robust interactions with recombinant CA, and 7u displaying antiviral effects in both the early and late stages of HIV-1 replication. Furthermore, MD simulation corroborated that 7u was bound to the PF74 binding site, and the results of the online molinspiration software predicted that 7m and 7u had desirable physicochemical properties. Unexpectedly, this series of compounds exhibited better antiviral activity than PF74 against HIV-2, represented by compound 7m whose anti-HIV-2 activity was almost 5 times increased potency over PF74. Therefore, we have rationally redesigned the PF74 chemotype to inhibitors with novel structures and enhanced metabolic stability in this study. We hope that these new compounds can serve as a blueprint for developing a new generation of HIV treatment regimens.

Abstract
In an effort to explore a class of novel antidiabetic agents, we have made an effort to synergize the α-amylase inhibitory potential of 1,3-benzothiazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole scaffolds by combining the two into a single structure via an ether linkage. The structure of synthesized benzothiazole clubbed oxadiazole derivatives are established by different spectral techniques. The synthesized hybrids are evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory potential against α-amylase. Compound 8f is found to be the most potent with a significant inhibition (87.5 ± 0.74% at 50 μg/mL, 82.27 ± 1.85% at 25 μg/mL and 79.94 ± 1.88% at 12.5 μg/mL) when compared to positive control acarbose (77.96 ± 2.06%, 71.17 ± 0.60%, 67.24 ± 1.16% at 50 μg/mL, 25 μg/mL and 12.5 μg/mL concentration). Molecular docking of the most potent enzyme inhibitor, 8f, shows promising interaction with the binding site of biological macromolecule Aspergillus oryzae α-amylase (PDB ID: 7TAA) and human pancreatic α-amylase (PDB ID: 3BAJ). To a step further, in-depth QSAR studies show a significant correlation between the experimental and the predicted inhibitory activities with the best Rvalidation2= 0.8701. The developed QSAR model can provide ample information about the structural features responsible for the increase and decrease of inhibitory activity. The mechanistic interpretation of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) is done with the help of combined computational calculations i.e. molecular docking and QSAR. Finally, molecular dynamic simulations are performed to get an insight into the binding mode of the most potent derivative with α-amylase from A. oryzae (PDB ID: 7TAA) and human pancreas (PDB ID: 3BAJ).

Abstract
A series of 6-amidinobenzothiazoles, linked via phenoxymethylene or directly to the 1,2,3-triazole ring with a p-substituted phenyl or benzyl moiety, were synthesised and evaluated in vitro against four human tumour cell lines and the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei. The influence of the type of amidino substituent and phenoxymethylene linker on antiproliferative and antitrypanosomal activities was observed, showing that the imidazoline moiety had a major impact on both activities. Benzothiazole imidazoline 14a, which was directly connected to N-1-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole, had the most potent growth-inhibitory effect (IC50 = 0.25 µM) on colorectal adenocarcinoma (SW620), while benzothiazole imidazoline 11b, containing a phenoxymethylene linker, exhibited the best antitrypanosomal potency (IC90 = 0.12 µM). DNA binding assays showed a non-covalent interaction of 6-amidinobenzothiazole ligands, indicating both minor groove binding and intercalation modes of DNA interaction. Our findings encourage further development of novel structurally related 6-amidino-2-arylbenzothiazoles to obtain more selective anticancer and anti-HAT agents.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly occurring cancer with very less treatment options in case surgery fails to cure the disease. The emergence of drug resistant colon cancer poses a new threat and calls for better drugs for treatment of colon cancer patients. Novel substituted benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-5-(pyridin-2-yl) penta-1,4-dien-3-one trihybrid molecules were synthesized following appropriate synthetic route. These compounds were tested for their efficacy in colon cancer and drug resistant colon cancer cell lines. Their toxicity was studied on the ICR mice model and the selectivity study was performed in calorimetric assay and xenograft mice model. An attempt was also made to chalk out the feasible mechanism of action based on molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies. Compounds 4f, 4h and 4i were found to be highly effective and selective towards the inhibition of the colon cancer and drug resistant colon cancer cell lines and in the xenograft method. Selective compounds from this study can be developed into potential drug candidates for the possible treatment of drug resistant colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Currently, limited therapeutic options are available for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). We have developed a set of pyrazine-based small molecules. A series of pyrazine conjugates was synthesized by microwave-assisted click chemistry and benzotriazole chemistry. All the synthesized conjugates were screened against the SAR-CoV-2 virus and their cytotoxicity was determined. Computational studies were carried out to validate the biological data. Some of the pyrazine-triazole conjugates (5 d-g) and (S)-N-(1-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-phenylethyl)pyrazine-2-carboxamide 12 i show significant potency against SARS-CoV-2 among the synthesized conjugates. The selectivity index (SI) of potent conjugates indicates significant efficacy compared to the reference drug (Favipiravir).

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds and their derivatives gained more attention due to their valuable biological and pharmacological properties. Benzothiazole is a heterocyclic structure containing a bicyclic ring system with a large panel of applications. The benzothiazole is present in many new products undergoing research hoping that it possesses various biological activities. Epilepsy is a diverse group of diseases marked by neuronal excitability and hypersynchronous neuronal activity of motor, sensory or autonomic events with or without loss of consciousness. Presently, many antiepileptic drugs like lamotrigine, stiripentol tiagabine, pregabalin, felbamate, and topiramate are available and effective towards 60-80% of patients only, along with undesirable side effects, such as hepatotoxicity, gastrointestinal disturbance, drowsiness, gingival hyperplasia, and hirsutism. Thus, many attempts are still on-going to develop antiepileptic drugs with a safer profile. This review is mainly focused on the compilation of reported scientific literature data in the recent one-decade on the anticonvulsant activity of benzothiazole compounds.

Abstract
Molecules that exhibit solid-state luminescence enhancement, i.e. the rare property to be more strongly emissive in the solid state than in solution, find an increasing number of applications in the fields of optoelectronic and nanophotonic devices, sensors, security papers, imaging, and theranostics. Benzazole (BZ) heterocycles are of particular value in this context. The simple enlargement of their π-electron system using a -C=C-Ar or -N=C-Ar moiety is enough for intrinsic solid-state luminescence enhancement (SLE) properties to appear. Their association with a variety of polyaromatic motifs leads to SLE-active molecules that frequently display attractive electroluminescent properties and are sensitive to mechanical stimuli. The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process that takes place in some hydroxy derivatives reinforces the SLE effect and enables the development of new sensors based on a protection/deprotection strategy. BZ may also be incorporated into frameworks that are prototypical aggregation-induced enhancement (AIE) luminogens, such as the popular tetraphenylethene (TPE), leading to materials with excellent optical and electroluminescent performance. This review encompasses the various ways to use BZ units in SLE systems. It underlines the significant progresses recently made in the understanding of the photophysical mechanisms involved. A brief overview of the synthesis shows that BZ units are robust building blocks, easily incorporated into a variety of structures. Generally speaking, we try to show how these small heterocycles may offer advantages for the design of increasingly efficient luminescent materials.

Development of fluorinated and methoxylated benzothiazole derivatives as highly potent and selective cannabinoid CB 2 receptor ligands. Bioorg Chem 2021; 114:105191.

Abstract
The upregulation of the CB2 receptors in neuroinflammation and cancer and their potential visualization with PET (positron emission tomography) could provide a valuable diagnostic and therapy-monitoring tool in such disorders. However, the availability of reliable CB2-selective imaging probes is still lacking in clinical practice. We have recently identified a benzothiazole-2-ylidine amide hit (6a) as a highly potent CB2 ligand. With the aim of enhancing its CB2 over CB1 selectivity and introducing structural sites suitable for radiolabeling, we herein describe the development of fluorinated and methoxylated benzothiazole derivatives endowed with extremely high CB2 binding affinity and an exclusive selectivity to the CB2 receptor. Compounds 14, 15, 18, 19, 21, 24 and 25 displayed subnanomolar CB2Ki values (ranging from 0.16 nM to 0.68 nM) and interestingly, all of the synthesized compounds completely lacked affinity at the CB1 receptor (Ki > 10,000 nM for all compounds), indicating their remarkably high CB2 over CB1 selectivity factors. The fluorinated analogs, 15 and 21, were evaluated for their in vitro metabolic stability in mouse and human liver microsomes (MLM and HLM). Both 15 and 21 displayed an exceptionally high stability (98% and 91% intact compounds, respectively) after 60 min incubation with MLM. Contrastingly, a 5- and 2.8-fold lower stability was demonstrated for compounds 15 and 21, respectively, upon incubation with HLM for 60 min. Taken together, our data present extremely potent and selective CB2 ligands as credible leads that can be further exploited for 18F- or 11C-radiolabeling and utilization as PET tracers.

Abstract
Benzothiazole is a heterocyclic aromatic and bicyclic compound in which, benzene ring is attached with thiazole ring. This nucleus is established in marine as well as terrestrial natural compounds. The benzothiazole skeleton is established in a broad variety of bioactive heterocycles and natural products. The benzothiazole nucleus is considered as the principle moiety in several biologically active compounds. Over the decade, chemists are paying more attention towards the revision of the biological and therapeutic activities such as antimicrobial, analgesic, antiinflammatory, antitubercular, antiviral and antioxidant of benzothiazole containing compounds. The molecular structures of a number of potent drugs including Frentizole, Pramipexole, Thioflavin T and Riluzole etc., are based on benzothiazole skeleton. The present work is the compilation and presentation of all available information in a systematic manner with an aim to present the findings in a way, which may be beneficial for future research.
