Abstract

Fluorinated 2-arylbenzothiazoles are new potential antitumor drugs, which show potent and selective inhibitory activity against breast, lung, and colon cancer cell lines. Carbon-11 labeled fluorinated 2-arylbenzothiazoles may serve as novel probes for positron emission tomography (PET) to image tyrosine kinase in cancers. The preparation of 4-fluorinated 2- arylbenzothiazoles 4-fluoro-2-(3-benzloxy-4-methoxyphenyl) benzothiazole (6a) and 4- ...
