Benzothiazole compounds are known as an important bicyclic ring system with multiple applications. These compounds have a wide range of biological activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. In this study, benzothiazole compounds were synthesized and their various biological activities were examined.

Methoxy group enriched eight coumarin-chalcone hybrid derivatives were synthesized. Antimicrobial/ antiproliferative activities were tested against eight human pathogenic microorganisms and four cancer cell lines (AGS, HepG2, MCF-7 and PC-3), respectively. Antimicrobial results showed that most of the compounds were almost more active than used standard antibiotics.

In this study, the synthesis of dimeric disulfide-Schiff bases was carried out using two methods. The structures of the obtained Schiff bases were elucidated by various spectroscopic methods as well as elemental analysis. The Schiff base derivative compounds were screened for in vitro antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant microorganisms using microdilution method.

A series of Schiff base and naphtho[1,2-d]oxazole derivatives were selectively synthesized via condensation reaction of 1-amino-2-hydroxy-4-naphthalenesulfonic acid and benzaldehyde derivatives at same conditions. The synthesized compounds were then characterized by using (1)HNMR, (13)CNMR, FTIR spectroscopies and elemental analyses. It was seen that the Schiff bases generated in the presence of OH group at ortho position of benzaldehyde derivatives.

Tridentate Schiff base (H(2)L) ligand was synthesized via condensation of o-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-aminothiophenol. The metal complexes were prepared from reaction of the ligand with corresponding metal salts presence of substituted pyridine in two different solvents (MeOH or MeCN). The ligand and metal complexes were then characterized by using FTIR, TGA, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR spectroscopies.
