Abstract: 1,4-Benzothiazine (1,4-BT) derivatives have been reported to exhibit a wide range of pharmacological properties including antifungal, immunostimulating, anti-aldoso-reductase, anti-rheumatic, anti-allergic, vasorelaxant, anti-arrhythmic, anti-hypertensive, neuroprotective and cytotoxic activities. These different effects indicate that 1,4-BT is a template potentially useful in medicinal chemistry research and therapeutic applications.
