Description

2-Amino-6-nitrobenzothiazole is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits bacterial growth by cleaving the peptide bonds of proteins. It has been shown to be active against a number of microorganisms, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi. 2-Amino-6-nitrobenzothiazole has been shown to lower blood pressure in mice by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme and potassium channels. This drug also has a protective effect on the heart and brain from ischemia reperfusion injury. 2-Amino-6-nitrobenzothiazole inhibits the activity of amines, which are small molecules found in many pharmaceuticals. The chemical structure of this drug contains one or more methylene groups that can be activated by diazonium salt to form an intermediate molecule with a reactive amine group.
