Benzothiazole derivatives of thiazolidinediones (TZD) were synthesized using a modified Mitsunobu reaction of 2-(benzothiazol-2-ylmethylamino)ethanol (2) with 5-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-3-triphenylmethylthiazolidine-2,4-dione and assayed for activity on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subtypes and inhibitory activity of NO production in lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages. Most of the tested compounds were identified as potent $PPAR_\gamma$ agonists, indicating their potential as drug candidates for diabetes.

A convenient method for the preparation of imidazobenzimidazole 3, imidazoimidazole 5, imidazotriazole 6 and pyrano [2, 3-c] oxazole 7 derivatives is described. This depends on interaction of 2-methyl-4-arylidene-2-oxazolin-5-ones 1 with o-diamines, thiosemicarbazide and/or ethylcyanoacetate. The effect of alcoholic potassium cyanide on axazolinone 1 was studied. Antibacterial activity of the obtained products was studied.

A novel series of aryl sulfonylpiperazine derivatives (5-15) were synthesized as 5-$HT_6$ ligands. In vitro assay was evaluated by measuring the 5-HT-induced $Ca^{2+}$ increases using HeLa cell line expressing the cloned human 5-$HT_6$ receptor, and the compound 13 showed potent 5-$HT_6$ receptor antagonistic effect with $IC_{50}$ value of 3.9 ${\mu}M$. Compound 13 also showed good selectivity on the 5-$HT_6$ over 5-$HT_4$ and 5-$HT_7$ receptors.

In vitro ${\beta}-lactamase$ inhibitory activity of 6-benzothiazole penicillins (1, 2, 3 and 4) was compared with clavulanic acid, sulbactam and tazobactam. The inhibitory activity of exomethylene compounds (3 and 4) was stronger than those of non-exomethylene compounds (1 and 2). The sulfide 3 showed stronger inhibitory activity than sulbactam, clavulanic acid andsimilar to tazobactam against ${\beta}-lactamase$ Type I enzymes. The inhibitory activity of 4 was stronger than those of sulbactam, clavulanic acid and tazobactam against Type III and IV enzymes. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of ampicillin or cefoperazone combined with 3 or 4 was stronger than those of ampicillin or cefoperazone alone against many ${\beta}-lactamase$ producing strains to show that compounds 3 and 4 have some synergistic effect. The synergistic activity of 3 and 4 was comparable to sulbactam in some ${\beta}-lactamase$ producing strains, but it was inferior to tazobactam.

Twelve benzothiazolyl and 6-substituted benzothiazoly phenyl and chlorophenyl ureas have been newly synthesized by reacting 2-amino benzothiazole and 2-amino-6-substituted benzothazole with three or four phenyl and chlorophenyl isocyanate, respectively. The structures of these compounds were determined by measurement of the molecular weights and elementary analysis as well as IR spectrophotometry. The compounds generally exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in the concentration of $50\mu g/ml$. The compounds containing chloro group exhibited stronger antibacterial activity than those containing methyl group against Eschichia coli. The difference in the antibacterial activity according to the substituted group (phenyl, o-, m-, and p-chlorophenyl) was also noted. The compounds containing o-chlorophenyl group, on the whole, exhibited more potent growth-inhibitory activity againsts staphylococcus aureus.

Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) detoxify electrophilic xenobiotics and reactive metabolites. Recently benzene-fused heterocycles have been shown to increase the total amount of hepatic GSTs in rats. Primarily this study aimed to determine the induction of GSTs by benzoazoles (BAs) including benzoxazole (BX), 2-methylbenzoxazole (M-BX), 2,5-dimethyl benzoxazole (D-BX), benzothiazole (BT), aminobenzothiazole (A-BT) and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (M-BT) in rats. Hepatic cytosol and poly(A)$^+$ mRNA were prepared from rats after oral administration of BX, BT, M-BX, D-BX, A-BT and M-BT for 5 consecutive days at doses of 1 mmol/kg. Western immunoblot and northern blot analysis were conducted with rabbit anti-GST Ya, Yb$_1$, Yb$_2$, Yc antibodies and cDNA probes containing = 500 bps in the specific coding regions of Ya, Yb$_1$, Yb$_2$, Yc$_1$, and Yc$_2$, respectively. All BAs increased the amount of enzymes and mRNA levels of GSTs. BT was the most effective inducer of GSTs among the compounds examined in this study. Although A-BT and M-BT, the derivatives of BT, induced GSTs, these chemicals had lesser effect on induction of GSTs than BT. The derivatives of BX also induced less GSTs than the parent compound and the addition of methyl group to the benzene ring of BX reduced the induction of GSTs. BAs had better inductive effects on the class $\alpha$(Ya, Yc) than class $\mu$ GSTs (Yb$_1$, Yb$_2$). BAs enhanced mRNA levels of GSTs in parallel with the protein levels. These results indicate that 1) most of BAs induced various isozymes of GSTs, 2) the induction of GSTs appears to be correlated with the chemical structure of the derivatives, and 3) the expression of GST by BAs is presumably under the transcriptional regulation.

For the development of antifungal agents, modification of naftifine which exhibits significant antimycotic activity was performed by replacing the naphthalene ring of it to hete ro cyclic rings such as morpholine. benzothiazole, piperidine and pyridine derivatives. The synthesized compounds were tested in vitro antifungal activity against five different fungi with naftifine as a comparative antimycotic molecule. From the biological evaluation two compounds, (E)-N-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)-N-(4-piperidinylmethyl)amine(3d) and (E)-N-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)-N-(3-pyridylmethyl)amine(3f) showed relatively noticeable activity(MIC=50${\mu}g$/ml). On the other hand, the other compounds had no activity.

Sixteen compounds of 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives were synthesized from alkyl ($C_{1-5}$) p-aminosalicylate by thiocyanation reaction. The NMR spectra of synthesized compounds showed that they were actually mixture of 5-hydroxy-6-alk-oxycarbonyl-2-aminobenzothiazole [alkoxy=methoxy(Ia), ethoxy (IIa), n-propoxy (IIIa), iso-propoxy (IVa), n-butoxy (Va), iso-butoxy (VIa), n-amoxy (VIIa), iso-amoxy(VIIIa)] and 7-(1b), ethoxy(IIb), n-propoxy(IIIb), iso-propoxy(IVb), n-butoxy(Vb), iso-butpxy (VIb), n-amoxy (VIIb), iso-amoxy (VIIIb)]. The mixtures of two isomeric benzothiazole were separated by two isomers varied with the kind of alkyl chain in alkyl p-aminosalicylate. These compounds were subjected to the test for antimicrobial activities using Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by tube dilutioin method.

In this study, a convenient approach for sensitive, quick and simple detection of hazardous acids was investigated. A series of azo dyes were synthesized and applied as a chemosensor for the acid detection both on fibers and in solution. Various aniline, benzothiazole or isoxazole derivatives were used as diazo component and coupled with N-benzyl-N-ethylaniline or 2,2'-(phenylimino)bis-ethanol to give azo based dyes. The acid sensing phenomenon was observed by naked-eye and detection was further confirmed by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and hue difference(ΔH^*) evaluation. The developed sensors showed a distinct and quick color change from yellow to magenta by addition of trace amounts of the hazardous acids. The absorption maxima was shifted to a longer wavelength by 70 ~ 150nm and hue difference(ΔH^*) was 60 ~ 120°. A cotton fiber coated with Dye 1 exhibited excellent storage stability under various temperature(-30 ~ 43℃) and humidity(30 ~ 80%) conditions without discoloration and fading of the fiber sensors. Also the acid sensing properties were maintained.
