Synthesis, Anticancer and Antioxidant Activity of Novel 2,4-Disubstituted Thiazoles

A new series of carbazole based 2,4-disubstituted thiazole derivatives were synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against three different cancer cell lines A549, MCF-7, and HT29. Some of these compounds showed good cytotoxicity. These compounds were also evaluated for antioxidant activity. Compounds 3a, 3b, 3d-f and 3i showed higher antioxidant activity than standard BHT.
