An efficient heterogeneous copper-catalyzed cyclization of o-haloanilides and metal sulfides has been achieved via the C–S coupling in DMF at 80 or 140 °C in the existence of an MCM-41-bound NHC-Cu(I) catalyst and then intramolecular condensation, delivering a wide range of substituted benzothiazoles in mostly good to high yields. This new MCM-41-NHC-CuI complex can facilely be obtained by a two-step procedure starting from easily accessible and inexpensive reagents and reused more than seven times without any significant loss of its catalytic efficiency. The present protocol has been successfully applied to the gram-scale synthesis of two antitumor agents 5F203 and PMX 610.

In a search for potent antileishmanial drug candidates, eighteen rhodacyanine analogues bearing fluorine or perfluoroalkyl substituents at various positions were synthesized. These compounds were tested for their inhibitory activities against Leishmania martiniquensis and L. orientalis. This ‘fluorine-walk’ analysis revealed that the introduction of fluorine atom at C-5, 6, 5′, or 6′ on the benzothiazole units led to significant enhancement of the activity, correlating with the less negative reduction potentials of the fluorinated analogues confirmed by the electrochemical study. On the other hand, [sbnd]CF3 and [sbnd]OCF3 groups were found to have detrimental effects, which agreed with the poor aqueous solubility predicted by the in silico ADMET analysis. In addition, some of the analogues including the difluorinated species showed exceptional potency against the promastigote and axenic amastigote stages (IC50 = 40–85 nM), with the activities surpassing both amphotericin B and miltefosine.

A convenient synthesis of substituted benzothiazoles from 2-bromoanilides has been accomplished. The various 2-bromoanilides were reacted with an alkyl thiolate in high yields using a palladium catalyst. The resulting sulfides were easily converted to the corresponding benzothiazoles via the simultaneous generation of thiols and condensation under basic or acidic conditions.

Recent efforts to identify treatments for chronic diabetic complications have resulted in the discovery of a novel series of highly potent and selective 3-[(benzothiazol-2-yl)methyl]indole-N-alkanoic acid aldose reductase inhibitors. The lead candidate, 3-[(4,5,7-trifluorobenzothiazol-2-yl)methyl]indole-N-acetic acid (lidorestat, 9) inhibits aldose reductase with an IC50 of 5 nM, while being 5400 times less active against aldehyde reductase, a related enzyme involved in the detoxification of reactive aldehydes. It lowers nerve and lens sorbitol levels with ED50's of 1.9 and 4.5 mg/kg/d po, respectively, in the 5-day STZ-induced diabetic rat model. In a 3-month diabetic intervention model (1 month of diabetes followed by 2 months of drug treatment at 5 mg/kg/d po), it normalizes polyols and reduces the motor nerve conduction velocity deficit by 59% relative to diabetic controls. It has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile (F, 82%; t1/2, 5.6 h; Vd, 0.694 L/kg) with good drug penetration in target tissues (Cmax in sciatic nerve and eye are 2.36 and 1.45 μg equiv/g, respectively, when dosed with [14C] lidorestat at 10 mg/kg po).
