Abstract

Research on thiazole derivatives has been a popular topic in medicine and one of the most active fields in heterocyclic chemistry. Pharmacological and industrial researchers have been studying thiazole-containing derivatives in great detail because they have a lot of biological uses. These compounds are one of the best examples of a five-membered heterocyclic compound that has a lot of potential and has had a lot of success in recent decades. Investigating viable hybrid designs utilizing thiazole is critical for the development of new anti-tuberculosis medications. This article offers a thorough overview of the latest advancements in thiazole-containing hybrids, offering potential therapeutic applications as anti-TB drugs. We also discussed the structure-activity correlations (SAR) of the powerful thiazole moiety and its several functional groups, along with a few potential molecular targets.
