Tuberculosis (TB) takes the second place among the reasons for mortality from infectious diseases. For this reason, the problem of tuberculosis treatment requires urgent attention all over the world. Some 2-amino substituted 1,3-benzothiazin-4-ones (2-amino-1,3-BTZs) represent a promising new class of antitubercular agents. Other 1,3-benzothiazin-4-one derivatives, mostly 2-aryl and 2- (pyridin-2-yl) ones, are attractive due to their ability to suppress oxidative stress-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. This review covers the synthetic approaches to 2-amino- and 2-aryl(heteryl) substituted 1,3-benzothiazin-4-ones (1,3-BTZs). A brief overview of structure-activity relationships is presented.
