Perspectives on Antimicrobial Potential of Benzothiophene Derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emergence of new infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, bacterial and fungal diseases have stimulated public interest and inspired commitments by medicinal chemists to control these diseases. Increasing microbial resistance has become a very serious clinical problem for many classes of antibiotics. Therefore, it is an urgent requirement to design and synthesize novel antimicrobial agents to solve the problem of microbial resistance towards conventional antimicrobial agents. Among the various types of heterocyclic compounds, benzothiophene plays an important role in the medicinal chemistry because it possesses promising antibacterial, antifungal and antitubercular activities. This articles aims to review antimicrobial activities of novel benzothiophene derivatives during recent years which reveal their biological potential as anti-infective agents.
