Usage

General Description

Benzothiazole-2(3H)-thione, potassium salt is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a fungicide and biocide. It is a derivative of benzothiazole, a heterocyclic organic compound. This chemical is often used in industrial and agricultural applications to protect crops and materials from fungal and microbial growth. Benzothiazole-2(3H)-thione, potassium salt is a potent inhibitor of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of cell walls in fungi, making it an effective and widely used fungicidal agent. Additionally, it is used in the production of rubber and plastics as an accelerator for the vulcanization process, as well as in the manufacturing of dyes and pharmaceuticals.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of thiolate gold(i) complexes as thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and glutathione reductase (GR) inhibitors

New gold(i) thiolate complexes [(PPh2py)Au(SR)] (PPh2py = 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine and SR = the deprotonated form of pyridine-2-thiol (HSpy, 1a), pyrimidine-2 thiol (HSpyN, 1b), benzothiazole-2-thiol (HSbt, 1c) and 2-thiazoline-2-thiol (HSt, 1d)) were prepared by the reaction of chloro gold complex [(PPh2py)AuCl], A, with the corresponding in situ generated thiolate salt (through a nucleophilic substitution reaction) under inert conditions. All complexes are characterized by NMR spectroscopy and the structures of 1b and 1d were further identified by single crystal X-ray determination. An in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation against five human cancer cell lines including A549 (nonsmall cell lung cancer), SKOV3 (human ovarian cancer), MCF-7 (human breast cancer), SW1116 (colon cancer) and HeLa (cervical cancer) demonstrated the promising antitumor effects of 1b in comparison with standard auranofin and cisplatin. The effects of these compounds on the proliferation of non-tumoral breast cell line MCF-12A showed good selectivity among tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic cell lines. The results illustrated that 1b effectively produces cell death by inducing apoptosis in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. These complexes inhibit both cytosolic (TrxR1) and mitochondrial (TrxR2) thioredoxin reductases as well as glutathione reductase (GR).

Studies and X-ray determinations with 2-(acetonylthio)benzothiazole: Synthesis of 2-(benzothiazol-2-ylthio)-1-phenylethanone and 2-(acetonylthio) benzothiazole by C - S bond cleavage of 2-(acetonylthio)benzothiazole in KOH

New route for the synthesis of 2-(benzothiazol-2-ylthio)-1-phenylethanone (6) and 2-(acetonylthio)benzothiazole (1) by using phenacyl bromide and α-chloroacetone, respectively, through carbon-sulfur bond cleavage reactions in a basic medium has been generated. Treatment of 1 with malononitrile and elemental sulfur afforded the corresponding derivative of 2-amino-3-cyanothiophene (12), whereas treatment of 1 with cyanoacetohydrazide afforded the corresponding derivative of cyanoacetylhydrazone derivative (13). The structure of the synthesis compounds has been established on the basis of elemental analyses, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, correlation spectroscopy, heteronuclear single quantum coherence, MS spectra, and X-ray crystallographic investigations.
