Pharmacological agents that kills parasites are essential drugs in some tropical countries. In this study, a series of 2-amino substituted 4-phenyl thiazole derivatives (4a-e) have been synthesized by the conventional method. The thiazole derivatives were synthesized by three steps. The obtained five derivatives were purified by recrystallization using methanol as a solvent or column chromatography. They were characterized by melting point, TLC, FTIR, 1H NMR and MASS spectral data. Compounds 4a-e were evaluated in silico by using different software’s (Lipinski’s Rule of 5, OSIRIS molecular property explorer, Molsoft molecular property explorer, and PASS & docking studies). These compounds were then evaluated for their possible anthelmintic activity against Indian adult earth worms (Pherituma postuma). All the compounds displayed significant anthelmintic activity. Compound 4c and 4e were more potent compounds when compared with the standard drug (mebendazole). Molecular docking studies guided and proved the biological activity against beta tubulin protein (1OJ0). In conclusions, these new molecules have promising potential as anthelmintic for treatment of parasites.
