The compounds demonstrated strong anti-inflammatory ability in paw edema as well as ethanol-induced gastric ulcer. This was further confirmed by H&amp;E staining and suppressed inflammatory mediators as tumor necrotic factor (TNF-\u03b1), nuclear factor B (p-NFkB), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The antioxidant ability was assessed by measuring catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels in both edema and ulcer models. Additionally, gastric lesions were detected in the ulcer and low Ulcer index confirmed anti-ulcer ability. These results suggest new benzothiazoles which can be further analyzed through clinical studies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0337639","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]],"date-time":"2026-01-30T18:31:39Z","timestamp":1769797899000},"page":"e0337639","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Synthesis of new benzothiazole derivatives with in-depth In-vitro, In-vivo anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer activities"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Ayesha","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2639-0997","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Neelum Gul","family":"Qazi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4719-6832","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Arooj Mohsin","family":"Alvi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Safia Obaidur","family":"Rab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kashif","family":"Iqbal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Humaira","family":"Nadeem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0337639.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"208","DOI":"10.2174\/1568026616666160530152546","article-title":"Benzothiazole derivatives as potential anti-infective agents","volume":"17","author":"PC Sharma","year":"2017","journal-title":"Curr Top Med Chem"},{"issue":"7","key":"pone.0337639.ref002","first-page":"3196","article-title":"A comprehensive review on benzothiazole derivatives for their biological activities","volume":"10","author":"S Abrol","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Pharm Sci Res"},{"key":"pone.0337639.ref003","unstructured":"Muttu C, Bhanushali M, Hipparagi S, Tikare V, Karigar A.
