“…Acrylonitrile analogs that incorporate 1,2,4-triazole, benzimidazole, or 1,3,5-triazine heterocyclic groups have been found to possess interesting biological properties such as spasmolytic (Naruto et al, 1983), antioxidative (Parmar et al, 1988), insecticidal (Shiba, 1996), antitubercular (Sanna et al, 1999(Sanna et al, , 2000 and cytotoxic (Ohsumi et al, 1998;Saczewski et al, 2004) activities. From our previous studies, we reported the X-ray crystallographic data of two benzothiophene acrylonitrile analogs (Sonar et al, 2007).…”
