Heterocyclic compounds analogues have attracted strong interest in medicinal chemistry due to their pharmacological properties. Benzothiazole belongs to the heterocyclic class of bicyclic compounds. It is a combination of two rings six membered and five membered and both the rings are responsible for the therapeutic activity. Different methods are used to synthesize benzothiazole compounds and have been found to have numerous biological activities like – anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-leishmanial, antidiabetic activity. This review is mainly an attempt to present the work reported in literature on pharmacological activity of benzothiazole compounds.

苯并噻唑类似物及其生物学方面：综述

由于其药理特性，杂环化合物类似物引起了药物化学的强烈兴趣。苯并噻唑属于双环化合物的杂环类。它是两个六元环和五元环的组合，两个环都负责治疗活性。使用不同的方法来合成苯并噻唑化合物，并且已发现它们具有多种生物活性，如抗癌、抗菌、抗炎、抗利什曼原虫、抗糖尿病活性。本综述主要是试图介绍文献中报道的苯并噻唑化合物药理活性的工作。
