Cancer remains a global health concern, demanding the development of new therapeutic medicines. This research focuses on the synthesis, in vitro evaluation, and in silico analysis of new 2-substituted benzothiazole derivatives as possible anticancer drugs. Hybrid molecules comprising benzothiazole and pyridinone rings 10a-d and 14a-d were also synthesized. Several compounds were produced and characterized, using NMR, IR and elemental analysis, with promising anticancer activity against lung H1299, liver Hepg2 and breast MCF7 cancer cell lines. Structure-activity connection investigations identified crucial structural characteristics that influence potency, with particular benzylidine derivatives 7a-g demonstrating higher activity. In-silico ADME research revealed favorable drug-like features for chosen compounds, such as high gastrointestinal absorption and selective CYP inhibition. Toxicological projections indicated few side effects, confirming their potential as medication candidates. Docking studies revealed their binding mechanisms and interactions with protein tyrosine kinases PTK, identifying intriguing candidates for further study.
