Small hybrid heteroaromatics: resourceful biological tools in cancer research

Nowadays, hybrid drugs containing two or more covalently linked known potential pharmacophores are designed to simultaneously modulate multiple targets of multifactorial diseases to overcome the side effects associated with a single drug.

Pd-catalyzed selective N(3)-ortho C–H arylation of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles

Pd(OAc)₂-catalyzed direct C–H arylation of an arene triazole template has been explored using the triazole ring as a directing group.

1H-1,2,3-Triazolyl-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives containing structural features of ibuprofen/naproxen: Their synthesis and antibacterial evaluation

1H-1,2,3-Triazolyl-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives containing structural features of ibuprofen/naproxen were synthesized for the first time using a Cu catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) strategy. An optimized reaction condition was established for this purpose and twenty new compounds were synthesized using this methodology. Several of these compounds showed good to reasonable antibacterial activities when tested against three gram-positive and three gram-negative species. The compound 4m i.e. N-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-((5-(1-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)ethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthio)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetamide showed promising activities across both the species.
