A series of 2,3-diaryldibenzo[b]thiophene derivatives have been synthesized via Suzuki coupling reactions in moderate to good yields (59–79%). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antithrombolytic, biofilm inhibition, and hemolytic potential. All compounds showed significant biological potential. Compound (4k) revealed excellent antithrombolytic (87.24%) and biofilm inhibition (99.64%) activity. While compound (4i) exhibited an outstanding hemolytic potential (84.53%). The docking studies uncovered that studied compounds interact with streptokinase and plasminogen via hydrogen bonding, π-anion, π–π stacked interactions, and π-sigma bonding type interactions. The results revealed that synthesized benzo[b]thiophene derivatives could be a potential source of therapeutic agents.
