The phenanthridine family is widely found in medicinal chemistry and material science because of the biological activity and the presence in a variety of significant natural products and synthetic dye-stuffs. The phenanthridine has many clinical application like anticancer agent, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, pharmaceutically, and optoelectronic properties. Many methods have been reported for the synthesis of phenanthridine and phenanthridine alkaloids such as Pd catalyzed C-C bond forming. Reaction involving C-H activation , Radical, Microwave-assisted , transition metal catalyzed, one- pot cascade, benzyne mediated, photochemical, hypervalent iodine promoted ,etc. Here we summarized the literature data from 2014 to present concerning a novel or improved synthetic approaches.
The functionalization of organic molecules with the Schiff bases having benzothiazole moiety has grown
rapidly due to its multiple therapeutic and pharmacological properties. They have driven enormous
studies on their stereochemistry, bioactivity and synthetic attempts. The benzothiazole moiety is
infinitesimal but broadly used for industrial purposes and also exhibits a broad range of biological activities.
Study carried out on Schiff bases having benzothiazole had well-known promising activities like
antimicrobial, antimalarial, antifungal, antitubercular, antiviral, antitumor, analgesic, anti-inflammatory
and many more. This review brings forward a systematic and comprehensive survey of the reactivity
and biological properties associated with the Schiff bases-benzothiazole derivatives and their analogs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
