Abstract: Heterocyclic compounds are important because they have almost all types of pharmacological
properties. Due to these properties of heterocyclic compounds, they attracted the researchers for the
development of more effective newer drug molecules. In this review, we are focused on benzothiazole
and its derivatives, which are used for the synthesis of various biologically active molecules. Benzothiazole
derivatives have possessed various pharmacological activities like antimicrobial, antiinflammatory,
analgesic, anticonvulsant, antiviral, anthelmintic, antioxidant, anticancer, and other anticipated
activities. Hence, structural alterations have resulted in different benzothiazole derivatives that
illustrated a wide variety of pharmacological activities.
