TL;DR: Several novel 6-substituted-2-arylbenzothiazole compounds were revealed, with strong and selective antiproliferative activity towards HeLa cells in micro and submicromolar concentrations, with the most selective compounds being 6-ammonium-2-(2-hydroxy/methoxyphenyl)benZothiazoles 5f and 6f.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of anthracenes with substituents at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 6 positions is studied, with the aim of investigating their photochemical reactivity in dehydration reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Pinner reaction was used to convert isomeric cyano-substituted 2-aminophenols into their amidine derivatives, which were isolated as hydrochlorides and/or zwitterions, and whose structure was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

TL;DR: The synthesis of twenty-one novel water-soluble monocationic 2-aryl/heteroaryl-substituted 6-(2-imidazolinyl)benzothiazole mesylates 3a–3u is described and the results of their anti-proliferative assays are presented.

TL;DR: The design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of dicationic 6-amidino-2-alkyl-bisbenzothiazole derivatives revealed moderate to strong activity on tested cell lines, depending on the type of amidinic substituent, as well as the length of the alkyl chain.
