Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) poses a serious threat to human health, and currently there are no effective or specific therapies available to treat it. Herein a series of 1-phenyl-N-(benzothiazol-2-yl)methanimine derivatives with inhibitory activity against MERS-CoV are described. The compound 4f with a 50% inhibition concentration value of 0.09 μM is a promising inhibitor that warrants further evaluation, towards the development of potential anti-MERS-CoV drugs. After reading the article, we found that the author used 2-Bromo-6-fluorobenzothiazole(cas: 152937-04-7Synthetic Route of C7H3BrFNS)
2-Bromo-6-fluorobenzothiazole(cas: 152937-04-7) belongs to thiazoles. Thiazoles are a class of five-membered rings containing nitrogen and sulfur with excellent antitumor, antiviral and antibiotic activities.Synthetic Route of C7H3BrFNSTheir presence in peptides or their ability to bind proteins, DNA and RNA has led to many synthetic studies and new applications.
