title: Synthesis and evaluation of some novel benzothiazole derivatives as potential anticancer and antimicrobial agents.
abstract: Intensive efforts are underway worldwide to develop anticancer and antimicrobial agents. Therefore, a novel series of pyrido[2,1-b]benzo [d]thiazole and 2-(benzo [d] thiazol-2-ylamino)pyrimidine derivatives was synthesized. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity. Among the tested compounds, compounds 3a, 3b, and 7 exhibited more cytotoxic action than the control drug doxorubicin (CAS 23214-92-8; IC50: 52 microg/ml). Compound 7 was the most potent cytotoxic, with an IC50 of 42.55 pg/ ml, while compounds 3a and 3b induced high cytotoxic action with IC50 values of 50.15 pg/ml and 50.45 pg/ml, respectively. Moreover, the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Compound 6 exhibited moderate antifungal activity against C. albicans with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 125 pg/ml.
