A series of novel N-1,3-benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)acetamide derivatives has been synthesized. All the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-HIV activity using MTT method. Most of these compounds showed moderate to potent activity against wild-type HIV-1 with an EC(50) ranging from >7 EC(50) [μg/ml] to <100 EC(50) [μg/ml]. Among them, N-1,3-benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)acetamide 6v was identified as the most promising compound (EC(50)=<7 μg/ml). Among all the compounds, three compounds 6m, 6v and 6u have been exhibits potent anti-HIV activity against MT-4 cells.
