This article describes the synthesis and the biological evaluation of two sets of benzothiazole derivatives bearing at C-2 an arylamide (1a-e, 2a-e) or an arylurea (3a-d, 4a-d) moiety. Five compounds (3d and 4a-d) were selected and screened by the National Cancer Institute for the in vitro primary anticancer assay against a panel of 60 human tumor cell lines. Compounds 4a and 4c showed interesting anticancer activities, more marked for compound 4c. All compounds were also submitted to a preliminary in vitro assay as potential inhibitors of the ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), but they lacked significant activity.
