Abstract
Cancer has emerged as one of the leading causes of deaths globally partly due to the steady rise in anticancer drug resistance. Pyrimidine and pyrimidine-fused heterocycles are some of the privileged scaffolds in medicine, as they possess diverse biological properties. Pyrimidines containing azole nucleus possesses inestimable anticancer potency and has enormous potential to conduct the regulation of cellular pathways for selective anticancer activity. The present review outlines the molecular structure of pyrimidine-fused azoles with significant anticancer activity. The structure activity relationship and molecular docking studies have also been discussed. The current review is the first complete compilation of significant literature on the proposed topic from 2016 to 2020. The information contained in this review offers a useful insight to chemists in the design of new and potent anticancer azole-pyrimidine analogues.

Abstract
A soft coral-derived fungus Penicillium sp. among other isolates e high antibacterial, anti-yeast and cytotoxic activities. The fungus, Penicillium sp. MMA, isolated from Sarcphyton glaucoma, afforded nine diverse compounds (1-9). Their structures were identified by 1D and 2 D NMR and ESI-MS spectroscopic data as two alkaloids: veridicatol (1), aurantiomide C (2); one sesquiterpene, aspterric acid (3); two carboxylic acids, 3,4-dihydroxy-benzoic acid; (4) and linoleic acid (5); three steroids, ergosterol (6), β-Sitosterol (7), β-Sitosterol glucoside (8) along with the sphingolipid, cerebroside A (9). Biologically, the antimicrobial, antioxidant, in vitro cytotoxicity and antibiofilm activities were studied in comparison with the fungal extract. The in silico computational studies were implemented to predict drug and lead likeness properties for 1-4. The fungus was taxonomically characterized by morphological and molecular biology (18srRNA) approaches.
