Application

  • Inducing apoptosis in melanoma cells: A study described a ruthenium(II) complex with 2-mercaptothiazoline ligand inducing selective cytotoxicity by causing DNA damage and apoptosis specifically in melanoma cells, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent in oncology (de Melo et al., 2024).
  • Antimicrobial and synergistic activities: Thiazoline derivatives, including compounds related to 2-mercaptothiazoline, were studied for their antimicrobial and synergistic effects with conventional antibiotics against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, presenting a potential strategy for enhancing antibiotic efficacy (Khan et al., 2020).
  • Antimicrobial investigation of metal complexes: The antimicrobial properties of Cd(II) and Sn(II) complexes with 2-mercaptothiazoline were evaluated, underscoring the compound′s role in enhancing the bioactivity of metal-based therapeutics (Gaber et al., 2021).
