Abstract

A series of ortho and para substituted 1-[benzothiazol-(1H)-2-yl]-3- phenyl-prop-2-en-1-one derivatives were synthesized from 2-acetyl benzothiazole and ortho and para-substituted benzaldehye using ethanol as solvent. The synthesized compounds were characterized by UVvisible, FT-IR, 1H NMR and mass spectrometry. Antioxidant activities of synthesized compounds have been evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity using ascorbic acid as standard. The standard solution and 1-[benzothiazol-(1H)-2-yl]-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ones compounds were prepared with different concentrations. Anticancer activity of 1-[benzothiazol-(1H)-2-yl]-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one and 1-[benzothiazol-(1H)-2-yl]-3(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one were assigned by MTT assays.
