RESUMO
Twenty-five new N-[4-(benzothiazole-2-yl)phenyl]acetamide derivatives bearing different heterocyclic ring systems were synthesized using 2-(4-aminophenyl)benzothiazole structure as a pharmacophoric group. Final compounds were screened for their potential antitumor activity in vitro against approximately 60 human tumor cell lines derived from nine neoplastic diseases at National Cancer Institute, USA. 2-(4-Aminophenyl)benzothiazole structure was prepared by the reaction of 4-aminobenzoic acid and 2-aminothiophenol in polyphosphoric acid using microwave irradiation. After acetylation reaction, amide compounds 2a and 2b were obtained, which were then reacted with 2-mercapto(benz)imidazole/benzothiazole/benzoxazole derivatives in acetone with the presence of potassium carbonate to gain final compounds (3-27). Among all tested compounds, compound 10, namely N-[4-(benzothiazole-2-yl)-3-chlorophenyl]-2-[(benzimidazole-2-yl)thio]acetamide, and compound 16, namely N-[4-(benzothiazole-2-yl)phenyl]-2-[(1,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)thio]acetamide, were found to be of considerable anticancer activity against some cancer cell lines.

In this study, some N-[4-(Benzothiazole-2-yl) phenyl]-2-aryloxyacetamide derivatives were prepared by reacting N-[4-(benzothiazole-2yl)phenyl]-2-chloroacetamide and different substituent phenol or thiophenol derivatives. The anticancer activities of the compounds obtained were investigated. It was observed that some of the compounds, namely 25 and 38, showed notable anticancer activity.
