Abstract
In the past two decades, targeted cancer therapy has emerged as a novel class of anticancer therapeutics besides traditional chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy. There is an extensive variety of anticancer drugs in the market, and several compounds are in various stages of clinical trials. Many studies indicate that these cytotoxic molecules are also associated with various types of toxicity and contrary side effects; thus, researchers all over the world are working to develop more effective and safer anticancer drugs. 1,3-thiazole derivatives have recently been identified as a novel class of cancer chemotherapeutic agents with promising activity against various tumors. In this review, we have systematically summarized and highlighted the latest developments in 1,3-thiazole derivative for anticancer activity.
