Biological Activities of Schiff Bases Incorporating Benzothiazole Moiety

The functionalization of organic molecules with the Schiff bases having benzothiazole moiety has grown rapidly due to its multiple therapeutic and pharmacological properties. They have driven enormous studies on their stereochemistry, bioactivity and synthetic attempts. The benzothiazole moiety is infinitesimal but broadly used for industrial purposes and also exhibits a broad range of biological activities. Study carried out on Schiff bases having benzothiazole had well-known promising activities like antimicrobial, antimalarial, antifungal, antitubercular, antiviral, antitumor, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and many more. This review brings forward a systematic and comprehensive survey of the reactivity and biological properties associated with the Schiff bases-benzothiazole derivatives and their analogs.
