New 2-amino-6-arylbenzothiazoles were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields via Suzuki cross coupling reactions using various aryl boronic acids and aryl boronic acid pinacol esters and the antiurease and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activity of the products were also examined. The most active compound concerning urease enzyme inhibition was 6 -phenylbenzo[d]thiazole-2-amine 3e, with an IC 50 value of 26.35 ¦Ìg/mL. Compound 3c, 6-(4-methoxyphenyl) benzo[d]thiazole-2-amine, exhibited the highest nitric oxide percentage scavenging at 100¦Ìg/mL. %K Suzuki cross coupling %K benzothiazoles %K urease activity %K nitric oxide scavenging activity %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/18/8/8845
