CAS 68867-14-1: 2-methyl-5-benzothiazolol

2-Methyl-5-Benzothiazolol

2-Methyl-5-benzothiazolol is a compound that has photophysical properties. It is soluble in organic solvents and can be used in techniques such as photochemical, fluorescence, crystallography, and MALDI-TOF. 2-Methyl-5-benzothiazolol has been shown to inhibit the formation of amyloid fibrils in the brain microvasculature endothelium of mice. This drug also inhibits the production of cyclotriphosphazene from bacteria. 2-Methyl-5-benzothiazolol can be synthesized from cyclotriphosphazene with benzaldehyde and methylamine. 2-Methyl-5-benzothiazolol has been shown to have anti cancer activity by inhibiting cell proliferation through apoptosis induction. It can also inhibit viral replication by interfering with viral protein synthesis at concentrations below those needed for inhibition of host cell
