“…Benzothiazole is one of the classes of privileged fused heterocycles found in several marine and terrestrial bioactive natural products. In recent decades, it has been established as a promising pharmacophore possessing diverse biological properties such as anticonvulsant [1,2], antihelmintic [3], neuroprotective [4], antiglutamate [5], antimalarial [6], antitubercular [7], antimicrobial [8], analgesic, anti-inflammatory [9] and anticancer activities [10][11][12][13]. Interestingly, benzothiazoles are present in bioluminescent luciferin and are used as fluorophores for two photon excitation as well as absorption processes [14,15].…”
