Abstract:
Benzothiazole derivatives have garnered considerable attention owing to their versatile chemical scaffold and remarkable biological activities. The article provides an in-depth analysis of the diverse structural modifications and strategies employed to enhance the anticancer potential of these compounds from the period of 2020 to 2024. It discusses the role of structure-activity relationships (SAR) and computational approaches in optimizing benzothiazole derivatives for selective and effective cancer treatment.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
