Imidazothiazoles

Imidazothiazoles are a class of chemical compounds containing a bicyclic heterocycle (a double ring system) consisting of an imidazole ring fused to a thiazole ring.^[1] The structure contains three non-carbon or heteroatoms: two nitrogen atoms and one sulfur atom. Imidazothiazole derivatives show a broad spectrum of in vitro, i.e. "in the petri dish", activity such as anticancer,^[2][3][4] antipsychotic,^[5] antimicrobial,^[6] antifungal,^[7] and anthelmintic^[8] (against cancer, psychosis, microorganisms, fungi and worms, respectively).
