Abstract
The EGFR/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is important for metastasis, medication resistance, apoptosis prevention, and malignant transformation. Mutations in lung and colon cancer typically change this pathway's expression. As a result, a novel class of 1,2,4-oxdiazoles that are attached to 1,2,3-triazoles, 5-11, were created as possible anticancer drugs. The produced compounds are all examined by spectroscopic and micro-analytical techniques. MTT assay results on lung (A549) colon (Caco-2) and normal lung fibroblast (WI38) revealed that compounds 6a, 6b, 8a, and 11b demonstrated strong and selective antiproliferative activities against lung (A549) and colon (Caco-2) cancer cell lines while the remaining derivatives showed moderate to low activity. qPCR data revealed that the potential hits had large fold changes in the downregulation of EGFR, mTOR, and PI3K; they upregulate the amount of p53 to support their mode of action even more. Interestingly, docking investigations validated the biological outcomes by demonstrating a strong affinity of our compounds against EGFR active regions. Computational predictions of all the synthesized compounds' pharmacokinetic profiles, physicochemical characteristics, and drug-likeness data indicated that the promising hits might be taken into consideration as drug-like prospects.

Abstract
Abstract
Modern science and technology promote synthesis routes which are eco-friendly, chemicals which are promoted as “green” and solvents which are less toxic. A convenient method for the synthesis of ether by the reaction of 4-hydroxy benzoic acid and benzyl chloride using a surfactant as catalyst has been developed. The targeted ether is completely immiscible in water but in association with the interface active surfactants, the production of such a hydrophobic organic compound in water has been made possible. Micelles produce a pseudo-cellular organic environment to isolate species from the bulk solvent and favour the compartmentalization of reagents as well. Thus, the enhancement of the local concentration takes place and consequently the reactivity increases. The interaction of such unique chemo-, regio- and stereo-selectivity of surfactants made this reaction feasible. Organic species added to a micellar media are distributed between bulk water and micelles depending on their polarity, charge and dimension. This novel chemistry describes a set of green methods for carrying out this new generation Williamson reaction which can also be used for selective O-alkylation.

Abstract
Abstract
Advances in science and technology are promoting eco-friendly synthesis routes, green chemicals, and non-hazardous solvents. A suitable method for the synthesis of 2-(prop-2-ynyloxy) benzaldehyde was developed using three different aqueous micellar media. The targeted product ether is completely immiscible in water, but in combination with interface active surfactants it has been possible to produce the hydrophobic organic compound in water. Micelles function as a pseudocellular organic environment to isolate species from the main solvent and favor compartmentalization of reagents. There is an increase in the local concentration and consequently the reactivity increases. The use of such unique chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity renders this reaction new. Organic species added to a micellar media are distributed between water and micelles depending on polarity, charge, and size. In the experiments it was observed that salicylaldehyde and propargyl bromide interacted best in CTAB media and the yield of the formed product was 96 %.
