Abstract: The thiazole ring is naturally occurring and is primarily found in marine and microbial
sources. It has been identified in various compounds such as peptides, vitamins (thiamine), alkaloids,
epothilone, and chlorophyll. Thiazole-containing compounds are widely recognized for their antibacterial,
antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, antitubercular, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anticonvulsant,
anticancer, and cardiovascular activities. The objective of this review is to present recent advancements
in the discovery of biologically active thiazole derivatives, including their synthetic
methods and biological effects. This review comprehensively discusses the synthesis methods of thiazole
and its corresponding biological activities within a specific timeframe, from 2017 until the conclusion
of 2022.
