Description and Uses
Benzothiazole and its derivative are recognized as the most important heterocyclic compounds. This series of compounds is of particular interests. It has various kinds of pharmacological properties and has been included in many kinds of natural products and pharmaceutical agents. The broad spectrum of pharmacological activity in individual benzothiazole derivative enables it to serve as unique and valuable scaffolds for experimental drug design. It is already known that benzothiazole and its derivative has various biological applications including anticancer, antimicrobial, anticonvulsant, antiviral, antidiabetic, antipsychotic, antiinflammatory, analgesic, fungicidal and diuretic. Its derivatives also have many applications in polymer chemistry, dyes, drugs, and silver photography as well as rubber industry.
It is an interesting carbonyl equivalent and reacts with aldehydes or ketones to generate α-hydroxy carbonyl compounds. Benzothiazole is used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. It is a precursor of rubber accelerators and a component of cyanine dyes. It is also used as a flavoring substance. It is also used as a flavor, antimicrobial agent, and component of cyanine dyes. Its derivatives are used as rubber accelerators.
