Five benzothiazole derivatives leached into injections by the rubber plunger-seals of disposable syringes were identified by electron impact (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry. These are 2-hydroxybenzothiazole, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 2-(methylmercapto)benzothiazole, 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzothiazole and 2-(2-hydroxyethylmercapto)benzothiazole. 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole is used as a vulcanization accelerator. The other four compounds are formed from the zinc derivative of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole during sterilization with ethylene oxide. Toxicological, technological and legal consequences of the leaching are discussed briefly.

Mechanofluorochromic (MFC) materials are emerging as a versatile candidate for optoelectronic and biomedical applications. In the present work, we designed and synthesized four MFC materials, namely BT-PTZ-1, BT-PTZ-2, BT-PTZO-1, and BT-PTZO-2, using Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. These materials possess benzothiazole (BT) as an acceptor moiety and different donors, including phenothiazine (PTZ) and triphenylamine (TPA), with variations in their spacer units.

TSC2, a suppressor of mTOR, is inactivated in up to 20% of HBV-associated liver cancer. This subtype of liver cancer is associated with aggressive behavior and early recurrence after hepatectomy. Being the first targeted regimen for advanced liver cancer, sorafenib has limited efficacy in HBV-positive patients.

Article Synopsis
- A new method using an -heterocyclic carbene catalyst enables the atroposelective [3 + 3] annulation of alkynyl acylazoliums with benzothiazole derivatives.
- The regioselectivity of the reaction is influenced by the different nucleophilic centers in the benzothiazole structures.
- The resulting axially chiral triaryl 2-pyranones and fused 2-pyridones are considered a novel category of arylheterocycle atropisomers that could have applications in medicinal chemistry.

A fluorescent probe (NBC), constructed by benzothiazole-coumarin and naphthalimide derivatives, was developed for the detection of SO derivatives using the FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer) strategy. NBC presented large Stokes shift (180 nm), fast response (2 min), high sensitivity (LOD: 45 nM) and an excellent linear relationship in response to SO derivatives. Moreover, NBC has been successfully applied to detect SO derivatives in food samples and living cells.

The benzothiazole ring system has been recognised with crucial pharmacophoric features being present among various approved drugs and clinical and pre-clinical candidates. The medicinal importance of this privileged scaffold stimulated the interest of synthetic medicinal/ organic chemists for the synthesis of its derivatives due to their diverse biological applications. In most of the reports in the literature, benzothiazoles were synthesized by cyclocondensation of 2- aminothiophenol with either carboxylic acid and its derivatives or aldehydes.
