Abstract

A series of novel benzothiazole-2-thiol derivatives were synthesized, and their anti-proliferative activities on HepG2 and MCF-7 cells were investigated. Most compounds had inhibitory effects on cell growth, and some of them were more effective than cisplatin. Compounds 6m and 6t displayed good inhibitory activities against a panel of different types of human Cancer cell lines, with IC(50) values in the low micromolar range. Further biological evaluation indicated that 6m induced Apoptosis in HepG2 Cancer cells. Structure-activity relationships were also proposed.
