A novel class of coumarin‐thiazole conjugated systems (1‐31) were synthesized by Hantzsch condensation between α‐bromo‐3‐acetyl coumarin and several thiosemicarbazone intermediates. This scaffold was also evaluated for selective antibacterial activity against 20 isolates of H. pylori clinical strains, including four metronidazole resistant ones. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2010).
