In 2014,Mahtab, Reena; Srivastava, Ashish; Gupta, Nishi; Kushwaha, Sandeep Kumar; Tripathi, Aradhna published 《Synthesis of novel 2-benzylbenzo[d] thiazole-6-sulfonamide derivatives as potential anti inflammatory agent》.Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences published the findings.Formula: C8H6BrN The information in the text is summarized as follows:
The benzothiazole derivatives such as substituted 2-benzylbenzo[d]thiazole-6-sulfonamides I [R = H, 2-HO, 2-MeO, 3-Br] were synthesized by using sulfa drugs from substituted benzyl bromides. All the newly synthesized benzothiazole derivatives showed considerable anti-inflammatory activity. The chem. structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by means of IR, 1H-NMR, mass spectral and elemental anal. These compounds were screened for anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan induced paw edema method in rats at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight Among the tested compounds of benzothiazole derivatives, compounds I [R = 2-OH, 2-OMe, 2,5-(F)2, 4-Br] exhibited some anti-inflammatory activity but compounds I [R = H, 2-F, 4-F, 4-Cl, 3-Br] were more potent when compared to standard drug celecoxib. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 2-(3-Bromophenyl)acetonitrile(cas: 31938-07-5Formula: C8H6BrN)
According to other reports, 2-(3-Bromophenyl)acetonitrile(cas: 31938-07-5) is used in the preparation of diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) as HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.Formula: C8H6BrN
