A new series of phenylthiazoles with t-butyl lipophilic component was synthesized and their antibacterial activity against a panel of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens was evaluated. Five compounds demonstrated promising antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant staphylococcal strains and several vancomycin-resistant staphylococcal and enterococcal species. Additionally, three derivatives 19, 23 and 26 exhibited rapid bactericidal activity, and remarkable ability to disrupt mature biofilm produced by MRSA USA300. More importantly, a resistant mutant to 19 couldn't be isolated after subjecting MRSA to sub-lethal doses for 14 days. Lastly, this new series of phenylthiazoles possesses an advantageous attribute over the first-generation compounds in their stability to hepatic metabolism, with a biological half-life of more than 9 h.

To effectively control the infection of plant pathogens, we designed and synthesized a series of phenylthiazole derivatives containing a 1,3,4-thiadiazole thione moiety and screened for their antibacterial potencies against , pv. , as well as their antifungal potencies against , , and . The chemical structures of the target compounds were characterized by H NMR, C NMR and HRMS.

The structure-activity relationship of a new -butylphenylthiazole series, with a pyrimidine linker, was investigated. We wished to expand knowledge of this novel class of antibiotics by generating 21 new derivatives bearing ≥2 heteroatoms in their side chains. Their activity was examined against isolates of methicillin-resistant (MRSA), , , , and .

Consequently, series of new thiazoles having coumarin nucleus were synthesized from 3-acetylcoumarin thiosemicarbazones. Cyclization of thiosemicarbazone derivatives with ethyl 2-chloroacetate, 1-chloropropan-2-one and 2-bromo-1-phenylethanone afforded the corresponding 4-thiazolidinones, 4-methylthiazoles and 4-phenylthiazoles, respectively.

Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) is a serine hydrolase with classical function to degrade acetylcholine and terminate neurotransmission. While "nonclassical" functions of AchE were involved in cell growth, death, invasion, etc. The expression and activity of AchE is changed in tumors, suggesting AChE inhibitors (AchEIs) may serve as potential antitumor drugs.

Antimicrobial resistance has become a concern as a worldwide threat. A novel scaffold of phenylthiazoles was recently evaluated against multidrug-resistant to control the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance, showing good results. Several structural modifications are needed based on the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of this new antibiotic class.
