Abstract
The triazole functional group plays a pivotal role in the composition of biomolecules with potent anticancer activities, including numerous clinically approved drugs. The strategic utilization of the triazole fragment in the rational modification of lead compounds has demonstrated its ability to improve anticancer activities, enhance selectivity, optimize pharmacokinetic properties, and overcome resistance. There has been significant interest in triazole-containing hybrids in recent years due to their remarkable anticancer potential. However, previous reviews on triazoles in cancer treatment have failed to provide tailored design strategies specific to these compounds. Herein, we present an overview of design strategies encompassing a structure-modification approach for incorporating triazoles into hybrid molecules. This review offers valuable references and briefly introduces the synthesis of triazole derivatives, thereby paving the way for further research and advancements in the field of effective and targeted anticancer therapies.

Abstract
Reviewing the advancements in malaria treatment, the emergence of triazole hybrid compounds stands out as a groundbreaking development. Combining the advantages of triazole and other moieties, these hybrid compounds offer a new frontier in the battle against malaria. Their potential as effective antimalarial agents has captured the attention of researchers and holds promise for overcoming the challenges posed by drug-resistant malaria strains. We focused on their broad spectrum of antimalarial activity of diverse hybridized 1,2,3-triazoles and 1,2,4-triazoles, structure-activity relationship (SAR), drug-likeness, bioavailability and pharmacokinetic properties reported since 2018 targeting multiple stages of the Plasmodium life cycle. This versatility makes them highly effective against both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of P. falciparum, making them invaluable tools in regions where resistance is prevalent. The synergistic effects of combining the triazole moiety with other pharmacophores have resulted in even greater antimalarial potency. This approach has the potential to circumvent existing resistance mechanisms and provide a more sustainable solution to malaria treatment. While triazole hybrid compounds show great promise, further research and clinical trials are warranted to fully evaluate their safety, efficacy and long-term effects. As research progresses, these compounds can potentially revolutionize the field and contribute to global efforts to eradicate malaria, ultimately saving countless lives worldwide.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is a critical treatment modality for cancer patients, but multidrug resistance remains one of the major challenges in cancer therapy, creating an urgent need for the development of novel potent chemical entities. Azoles, particularly pyrazole, could interact with different biological targets and exhibit diverse biological properties including anticancer activity. Many clinically used anticancer agents own an azole moiety, demonstrating that azoles are privileged and pivotal templates in the discovery of novel anticancer chemotherapeutics. The present article is an attempt to highlight the recent advances in pyrazole-azole hybrids with anticancer potential and discuss the structure-activity relationships, covering articles published from 2018 to present, to facilitate the rational design of more effective anticancer candidates.

Abstract
Two series of piperazine-linked bis(chromene) hybrids that are attached to pyrazole units were synthesized in the current study. Both series are attached to an acyl unit at pyrazole-C3, with one series attached to an acetyl unit and the other to an ethoxycarbonyl unit. A [3+2] cycloaddition protocol was conducted to produce the target hybrids with good yields by reacting the appropriate hydrazonoyl chlorides with chromene-based bis(enaminone) in dioxane containing triethylamine at reflux for 4 h. New hybrids were tested for acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity at concentrations of 15 and 25 μM, as well as their ability to quench 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals at a concentration of 25 μg/mL. In general, the inhibitory activity is related to the electronic properties of the para-substituent that is attached to the arene unit at pyrazole-N1. Furthermore, the acyl unit attached to pyrazole-C3 has a significant effect on the new hybrids' inhibitory activity. At the previous concentrations, the (3-acetylpyrazole)-linked hybrid attached to p-NO2 units demonstrated the best acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, with inhibition percentages of 79.7 and 90.2. Furthermore, the previous hybrid demonstrated the most effective DPPH inhibitory activity, with an inhibition percentage of 87.5.

Abstract
Our investigation includes the synthesis of new naphthalene-bis-triazole-bis-quinolin-2(1H)-ones 4a−e and 7a−e via Cu-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloadditions of 4-azidoquinolin-2(1H)-ones 3a−e with 1,5-/or 1,8-bis(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)naphthalene (2) or (6). All structures of the obtained products have been confirmed with different spectroscopic analyses. Additionally, a mild and versatile method based on copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition (Meldal−Sharpless reaction) was developed to tether quinolinones to O-atoms of 1,5- or 1,8-dinaphthols. The triazolo linkers could be considered as anti and syn products, which are interesting precursors for functionalized epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors with potential apoptotic antiproliferative action. The antiproliferative activities of the 4a−e and 7a−e were evaluated. Compounds 4a−e and 7a−e demonstrated strong antiproliferative activity against the four tested cancer cell lines, with mean GI50 ranging from 34 nM to 134 nM compared to the reference erlotinib, which had a GI50 of 33 nM. The most potent derivatives as antiproliferative agents, compounds 4a, 4b, and 7d, were investigated for their efficacy as EGFR inhibitors, with IC50 values ranging from 64 nM to 97 nM. Compounds 4a, 4b, and 7d demonstrated potent apoptotic effects via their effects on caspases 3, 8, 9, Cytochrome C, Bax, and Bcl2. Finally, docking studies show the relevance of the free amino group of the quinoline moiety for antiproliferative action via hydrogen bond formation with essential amino acids.

Abstract
A novel series of 1,2,3-triazole-thiazolidinone-carvone hybrid compounds has been designed and synthesized using the copper-catalyzed Huisgen azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) process based on (R)-Carvone-O-propargylated 5-hydroxybenzylidene-thiazolidin-4-one derivative as starting material. All compounds were characterized and identified based on their NMR and HRMS spectroscopic data. HMBC correlations confirm that under the CuAAC reaction conditions, only the 1,4-disubstituted triazole regioisomers were formed. The targeted 1,2,3-triazole-thiazolidinone-carvone hybrids and their precursors were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against four human cancer cell lines, including fibrosarcoma (HT-1080), lung carcinoma (A-549), and breast carcinoma (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). The obtained data showed that most of these compounds have moderate anti-proliferative activity with IC50 values between 15.04 ± 0.71 and 42.22 ± 1.20 µM. The mechanism of action of the most active compounds 14e and 14f suggested that they induce apoptosis through caspase-3/7 activation, and the compound 14e elicited S-phase arrest, while compound 14f evoked G2/M phase blockade. The molecular docking confirmed that compounds 14e and 14f were nicely bonded with caspace-3 leading up to stable protein-ligand complexes.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the photochemical transformation of pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazolone substrates that reach an excited state upon irradiation with visible light to initiate the homolytic C-N bond cleavage process that yields the corresponding N1-substituted pyrazoles. Moreover, chemoselective heterolytic C-N bond cleavage is possible in the pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazole core in the presence of bromomalonate.

Abstract
The continuous demand of medicinally important scaffolds has prompted the synthetic chemists to identify simple and efficient routes for their synthesis. 1H-1,2,3-triazole, obtained by highly versatile, efficacious and selective "Click Reaction" has become a synthetic/medicinal chemist's favorite not only because of its ability to mimic different functional groups but also due to enhancement in the targeted biological activities. Triazole ring has also been shown to play a critical role in biomolecular mimetics, fragment-based drug design, and bioorthogonal methodologies. In addition, the availability of triazole containing drugs such as fluconazole, furacyclin, etizolam, voriconazole, triozolam etc. in market has underscored the potential of this biologically enriched core in expediting development of new scaffolds. The present review, therefore, is an attempt to highlight the recent synthetic/biological advancements in triazole derivatives that could facilitate the in-depth understanding of its role in the drug discovery process.

Tyrosol 1,2,3-triazole analogues as new acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. Comput Biol Chem 2020; 88:107359.

Abstract
The present work proposed the preparation of triazolic analogues of tyrosol, a biophenol found in olive oil and whose wide range of bioactivities has been the target of many studies. We obtained fifteen novel tyrosol derivatives and the compounds of the series were later evaluated as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. The study of AChE inhibition is important for the development of new drugs and pesticides, and especially the research for managing Alzheimer's disease. The most active compound, namely 7-({1-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}methoxy)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (30), showed IC50 value of 14.66 ± 2.29 μmol L-1. Docking experiments corroborated by kinetic assay are suggestive of a competitive inhibition mechanism. Derivatives interacted with amino acids from the AChE active site associated to the development of Alzheimer's disease. The results indicate that the compounds synthesized have a high potential as prototypes for the development of new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

Abstract
A novel series of pyrazoles and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines bearing benzothiazole moiety were designed and synthesized. Chemical structures were confirmed by spectral data and elemental analyses. Nine compounds were selected and screened for their cytotoxic activity at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), USA against 60 cancer cell lines in a single dose assay. Compounds 4 and 5 exerted the most potent growth inhibitory activity against most cancer cell lines with growth inhibition (GI%) ranges from 44.86% to 84.59% and 31.20% to 52.36%, respectively. Consequently, they were further investigated through IC50 determination using five dose MTT colorimetric assay against three sensitive cell lines, leukemia CCRF-CEM, non-small cell lung cancer HOP-92 and liver cancer Hep-G2. Compound 4 exhibited potent cytotoxic activity against the three tested cell lines with IC50 16.34, 3.45 and 7.79 μM, respectively representing half potency, 3.5 folds potency and nearly equipotent to roscovitine. To investigate its mechanism of action, cell cycle analysis of compound 4 was conducted and showed that it induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and apoptosis in HOP-92 cells. In correlation with the previous results, caspase-3 activation was tested and illustrated elevation in its concentration by nearly 14 folds than control. Besides, enzyme inhibition assay of compound 4 was evaluated towards two common antitumor targets namely KDM1 and CDK1 showing significant inhibitory activity with IC50 0.096 and 0.078 μM, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, new α-indolylacrylate derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of 2-substituted indoles with various pyruvates using a Brønsted acid ionic liquid catalyst in butyl acetate solvent. This is the first report on the application of pyruvate compounds for the synthesis of indolylacrylates. The acrylate derivatives could be obtained in good to excellent yields. A preliminary biological evaluation revealed their promising anticancer activity (IC50 = 9.73 μM for the compound 4l) and indicated that both the indole core and the acrylate moieties are promising for the development of novel anticancer drugs. The Lipinski's rule and Veber's parameters were assessed for the newly synthesized derivatives. 4lNew α-indolylacrylate derivatives were synthesized by reaction of 2-substituted indoles with various pyruvates using a Brønsted acid ionic liquid catalyst in butyl acetate solvent. This is the first application of pyruvate compounds for the synthesis of indolylacrylates.![]()

Abstract
Anticancer agents are critical for the cancer treatment, but side effects and the drug resistance associated with the currently used anticancer agents create an urgent need to explore novel drugs with low side effects and high efficacy. 1,2,3-Triazole is privileged building block in the discovery of new anticancer agents, and some of its derivatives have already been applied in clinics or under clinical trials for fighting against cancers. Hybrid molecules occupy an important position in cancer control, and hybridization of 1,2,3-triazole framework with other anticancer pharmacophores may provide valuable therapeutic intervention for the treatment of cancer, especially drug-resistant cancer. This review emphasizes the recent advances in 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids with anticancer potential, covering articles published between 2015 and 2019, and the structure-activity relationships, together with mechanisms of action are also discussed.
