Synthesis and evaluation of acetylcholineesterase inhibitory potential and antioxidant activity of benzothiazine derivatives

The aim of the present study was to synthesize and characterize benzothiazine derivatives prepared by using 2-aminothiophenol and saccharine and in vitro screen their enzyme inhibition and antioxidant potential. Nine different derivatives were prepared and their structures were confirmed by spectral studies (EIMS, 1H and 13 C NMR). Enzyme inhibition potential of the synthesized compounds was evaluated by Ellman’s method, while antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH and FRAP assays.
