DOI : 10.23893/1307-2080.APS.05516 Viewed : 19023 - Downloaded : 6681 Benzothiazoles and 2-mercaptobenzothiazoles are important classes of bioactive organic scaffolds possessing antibacterial, antifungal, antitubercular, antiinflammatory, antidiabetic, and antimalarial properties. In recent years, prediction of druglikeness, molecular, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties using in silico techniques has become a standard procedure for the evaluation of molecules in terms of their potential clinical use. In this study, compounds structured 6-benzoyl-3-substitutedmethylbenzo[d]thiazole-2(3H)-thione were synthesized using the Mannich reaction starting from 2-mercaptobenzothiazole. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of these compounds were determined against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Candida krusei, and Candida parapisilosis using a broth microdilution method. An additional analysis was undertaken using the in silico technique to predict the drug-likeness, molecular, and ADME properties of these molecules. Among all the compounds, respectively, Compounds 1-4 and 6-11 exhibited good minimum inhibition concentration values against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida species with promising predicted properties.
