Abstract
Sulfur-containing heterocyclic derivatives have been disclosed for binding with a wide range of cancer-specific protein targets. Various interesting derivatives of sulfur-containing heterocyclics such as benzothiazole, thiazole, thiophene, thiazolidinedione, benzothiophene, and phenothiazine, etc have been shown to inhibit diverse signaling pathways implicated in cancer. Significant progress has also been made in molecular targeted therapy against specific enzymes such as kinase receptors due to potential binding interactions inside the ATP pocket. Sulfur-containing heterocyclic ring metal complexes i. e., benzothiazole, thiazole, thiophene, benzothiophene and phenothiazines are among the most promising active anticancer compounds. However, sulfur heteroaromatic rings, particularly thiophene, are of high structural alert due to their metabolism to reactive metabolites. The mere presence of a structural alert itself does not determine compound toxicity therefore, this review focuses on some specific findings that shed light on factors influencing the toxicity. In the current review, synthetic strategies of introducing the sulfur core ring in the synthesized derivatives are discussed with their structure-activity relationships to enhance our understanding of toxicity mechanisms and develop safer therapeutic options. The sulfur-containing marketed anticancer drugs included in this review direct the synthesis of novel compounds and will help in the development of potent, safer sulfur-based anticancer drugs in near future.

Abstract
Despite the tremendous progress that has occurred in recent years in cell biology and oncology, in chemical, physical and computer sciences, the disease cancer has continued as the major cause of death globally. Research organizations, academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies invest huge amounts of money in the discovery and development of new anticancer drugs. Though much effort is continuing and whatever available approaches are being attempted, the success of bringing one effective drug into the market has been uncertain. To overcome problems associated with drug discovery, several approaches are being attempted. One such approach has been the use of known, approved and marketed drugs to screen these for new indications, which have gained considerable interest. This approach is known in different terms as "drug repositioning or drug repurposing." Drug repositioning refers to the structure modification of the active molecule by synthesis, in vitro/ in vivo screening and in silico computational applications where macromolecular structure-based drug design (SBDD) is employed. In this perspective, we aimed to focus on the application of repositioning or repurposing of essential drug moieties present in drugs that are already used for the treatment of some diseases such as diabetes, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and inflammation as anticancer agents. This review thus covers the available literature where molecular modeling of drugs/enzyme inhibitors through SBDD is reported for antidiabetics, anti-HIV and inflammatory diseases, which are structurally modified and screened for anticancer activity using respective cell lines.

Abstract
Abstract
In order to obtain potential anticancer agents, hybrid compounds have been synthesized by coupling thiazolidinone and pyrazole scaffolds. Among the synthesized compounds, 2-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-3-phenyl thiazolidin-4-one (4a) was found to be the most potent based on a docking (−9.307) and binding scores (−66.46), along with good ADME parameters. In vitro anticancer activity of compound 4a shows a maximum inhibition against lung cancer (NCI-H23) cell lines with a moderate inhibition rate of 31.01%. Molecular docking studies revealed that these hybrid compounds bind well to the active site of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors-gamma (PPAR-gamma). Doxorubicin was used as a positive control. It can be concluded that 4a having pyrazole-thiazolidinone ring systems has the potential to be developed as an anticancer agent.

Abstract
In the present study, a series of 2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepine derivatives 1B-14B has been synthesized sand characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The enzyme inhibitory activities of the target analogues were assessed using in vitro and in vivo mechanism-based assays. The tested compounds 1B-14B exhibited in vitro inhibitory potential against α-glucosidase with IC50 = 2.62 ± 0.16 to 10.11 ± 0.32 μM as compared to the standard drug acarbose (IC50 = 37.38 ± 1.37 μM). Kinetic studies of the most active derivatives 2B and 3B illustrated competitive inhibitions. Based on the α-glucosidase inhibitory effect, the compounds 2B, 3B, 6B, 7B, 12B, 13B, and 14B were chosen in vivo for further evaluation of antidiabetic activity in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats. All these evaluated compounds demonstrated significant antidiabetic activity and were found to be nontoxic in nature. Moreover, the molecular docking study was performed to elucidate the binding interactions of most active analogues with the various sites of the α-glucosidase enzyme (PDB ID 3AJ7). Additionally, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies were performed based on the α-glucosidase inhibitory assay. The value of correlation coefficient (r) 0.9553 shows that there was a good correlation between the 1B-14B structures and selected properties. There is a correlation between the experimental and theoretical results. Thus, these novel compounds could serve as potential candidates to become leads for the development of new drugs provoking an anti-hyperglycemic effect.

Abstract
The thiazolidinone ring is found in compounds that have widespan biology activity and there is mechanism-based evidence that compounds bearing this moiety inhibit P. aeruginosa PhzS (PaPzhS), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of the virulence factor named pyocyanin. Ten novel thiazolidinone derivatives were synthesised and screened against PaPhzS, using two orthogonal assays. The biological results provided by these and 28 other compounds, whose synthesis had been described, suggest that the dihydroquinazoline ring, found in the previous hit (A- Kd = 18 µM and LE = 0.20), is not required for PaPzhS inhibition, but unsubstituted nitrogen at the thiazolidinone ring is. The molecular simplification approach, pursued in this work, afforded an optimised lead compound (13- 5-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)thiazolidine-2,4-dione) with 10-fold improvement in affinity (Kd= 1.68 µM) and more than 100% increase in LE (0.45), which follows the same inhibition mode as the original hit compound (competitive to NADH).Executive summaryPhzS is a key enzyme in the pyocyanin biosynthesis pathway in P. aeruginosa.Orthogonal assays (TSA and FITC) show that fragment-like thiazolidinedione derivatives bind to PaPhzS with one-digit micromolar affinity.Fragment-like thiazolidinedione derivatives bind to the cofactor (NADH) binding site in PaPhzS.The molecular simplification optimised the ligand efficiency and affinity of the lead compound.

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
2,4-Thiazolidinedione (TZD) is a privileged and highly utilised scaffold for the development of pharmaceutically active compounds. This sulfur-containing heterocycle is a versatile pharmacophore that confers a diverse range of pharmacological activities. TZD has been shown to exhibit biological action towards a vast range of targets interesting to medicinal chemists. In this review, we attempt to provide insight into both the historical conventional and the use of novel methodologies to synthesise the TZD core framework. Further to this, synthetic procedures utilised to substitute the TZD molecule at the activated methylene C5 and N3 position are reviewed. Finally, research into developing clinical agents, which act as modulators of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (PPARγ), protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and aldose reductase 2 (ALR2), are discussed. These are the three most targeted receptors for the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM).

Abstract
The anticancer activity of novel thiazolidine-2,4-diones was evaluated against HepG2, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cells. MCF-7 was the most sensitive cell line to the cytotoxicity of the new derivatives. In particular, compounds 18, 12, 17, and 16 were found to be the most potent derivatives over all the tested compounds against the cancer cell lines HepG2, HCT116, and MCF-7, with IC50 = 9.16 ± 0.9, 8.98 ± 0.7, 5.49 ± 0.5 µM; 9.19 ± 0.5, 8.40 ± 0.7, 6.10 ± 0.4 µM; 10.78 ± 1.2, 8.87 ± 1.5, 7.08 ± 1.6 µM; and 10.87 ± 0.8, 9.05 ± 0.7, 7.32 ± 0.4 µM, respectively. Compounds 18 and 12 have nearly the same activities as sorafenib (IC50 = 9.18 ± 0.6, 5.47 ± 0.3, and 7.26 ± 0.3 µM, respectively), against HepG2 cells, but slightly lower activity against HCT116 cells and slightly higher activity against the MCF-7 cancer cell line. Also, these compounds displayed lower activities than doxorubicin against HepG2 and HCT-116 cells but higher activity against MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 7.94 ± 0.6, 8.07 ± 0.8, and 6.75 ± 0.4 µM, respectively). In contrast, compounds 17 and 16 exhibited lower activities than sorafenib against HepG2 and HCT116 cells, but nearly equipotent activity against the MCF-7 cancer cell line. Also, these compounds displayed lower activities than doxorubicin against the three cell lines. All the synthesized derivatives 7-18 were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against VEGFR-2. The tested compounds displayed high to medium inhibitory activity, with IC50 values ranging from 0.17 ± 0.02 to 0.27 ± 0.03 µM. Compounds 18, 12, 17, and 16 potently inhibited VEGFR-2 at IC50 values of 0.17 ± 0.02, 0.17 ± 0.02, 0.18 ± 0.02, and 0.18 ± 0.02 µM, respectively, which are nearly more than half of that of the IC50 value for sorafenib (0.10 ± 0.02 µM).

Abstract
Cisplatin is one of the most widely used chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of different tumors but has high toxicity and side effects. Therefore, the synthesis of new chemotherapeutic agents is necessary, so that they are effective in the treatment of cancer while avoiding such toxicity. In this study, we have synthesized and characterized a palladium(II) complex, [PdCl2(µ-PyTT)2]Cl2·4H2O (PdPyTT), with 2-(2-pyridyl)imine-N-(2-thiazolin-2-yl)thiazolidine (PyTT) as a ligand; besides, its cytotoxicity and pro-apoptotic capacity was tested in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell line. Similar to cisplatin, PdPyTT produced a time- and dose-dependent decrease in cell viability. Additionally, the palladium complex increased both the proportion of cells with apoptotic morphology and the activation of caspase-3 and -9. PdPyTT, like cisplatin, also increased intracellular ROS production and DNA oxidative damage. Therefore, our findings demonstrated the promising application of palladium(II) complexes as novel anti-leukemic agents.

Abstract
A novel series of 5-(4-methoxybenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives, 5a-g and 7a-f, was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer activity against HepG2, HCT116, and MCF-7 cells. HepG2 and HCT116 were the most sensitive cell lines to the influence of the new derivatives. In particular, compounds 7f, 7e, 7d, and 7c were found to be the most potent derivatives of all the tested compounds against the HepG2, HCT116, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. Compound 7f (IC50 = 6.19 ± 0.5, 5.47 ± 0.3, and 7.26 ± 0.3 µM, respectively) exhibited a higher activity than sorafenib (IC50 = 9.18 ± 0.6, 8.37 ± 0.7, and 5.10 ± 0.4 µM, respectively) against HepG2 and MCF-7, cells but a lower activity against HCT116 cancer cells, respectively. Also, this compound displayed a higher activity than doxorubicin (IC50 = 7.94 ± 0.6, 8.07 ± 0.8, and 6.75 ± 0.4 µM, respectively) against HepG2 and MCF-7 cells, but nearly the same activity against HCT116 cells, respectively. All derivatives, 5a-g and 7a-f, were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2). Among them, compound 7f was found to be the most potent derivative that inhibited VEGFR-2 at an IC50 value of 0.12 ± 0.02 µM, which is nearly the same as that of sorafenib (IC50 = 0.10 ± 0.02 µM). Compounds 7e, 7d, 7c, and 7b exhibited the highest activity, with IC50 values of 0.13 ± 0.02, 0.14 ± 0.02, 0.14 ± 0.02, and 0.18 ± 0.03 µM, respectively, which are more than the half of that of sorafenib. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed to investigate their binding mode and affinities toward the VEGFR-2 receptor. The data obtained from the docking studies highly correlated with those obtained from the biological screening.

Abstract
A series of novel parthenolide-thiazolidinedione hybrids have been synthesized via a click chemistry-mediated coupling between parthenolide and thiazolidinedione, and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities. The results indicated that all the hybrids showed moderate cytotoxic effects on human cancer cell lines, including human erythroleukemia cell line (HEL), prostate (PC3), and breast (MDA-MB-231) by MTT assay. In particular, compound VI-6 exhibited the best cytotoxic activities against the MDA-MB-231 cells with IC50 value of 2.07 µM, which was about eight times more active than that of the original compound (PTL). These interesting results might be used to develop novel lead scaffolds for potential anticancer agents.

Abstract
Novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione carboxamide and amino acid derivatives were synthesized in excellent yield using OxymaPure/N,N'-diisopropylcarbodimide coupling methodology and were characterized by chromatographic and spectrometric methods, and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial and antifungal activity of these derivatives was evaluated against two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis), two-Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and one fungal isolate (Candida albicans). Interestingly, several samples demonstrated weak to moderate antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, as well as antifungal activity. However, only one compound namely, 2-(5-(3-methoxybenzylidene)-2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl)acetic acid, showed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, particularly S. aureus.

Abstract
Thiazolidin-2,4-dione (TZD) possessing an active methylene constitute an important chemical
class of compounds for the development of new drugs. So, many scholars have synthesized these
derivatives as target molecules and evaluated their biological potential. Currently, some of the TZDs
are synthesized to treat human cancers stating high levels of PPARγ because it is expected that activation
of PPARγ arbitrates their anticancer activity because PPARγ ligands have recently been established
to affect differentiation, cell proliferation and apoptosis of different cell types. In the present review,
the synthesis of various derivatives of thiazolidine-2,4-diones, their mechanism of action and anticancer
activity have been highlighted.

Abstract
Eluding apoptosis represents the hallmark of tumoral cell behavior. Cisplatin (CisPt) is a very common chemotherapeutic agent to treat cancer by reestablishing apoptotic mechanisms of cell death. However, certain patients acquire resistance to CisPt as well as suffer nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, nausea and vomiting. The synthesis of new Pt(II) compounds represents an alternative to CisPt to avoid resistance and undesirable side effects. Pd(II) could be a Pt(II) surrogate given the similarity of coordination chemistry between them, thus widening the spectra of available anticancer drugs. Herein, we have synthesized and characterized two Pt(II) or Pd(II) complexes with TdTn (2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)imino-N-(2-thiazolin-2-yl)thiazolidine), a thiazoline derivative ligand, with formula [PtCl2(TdTn)] and [PdCl2(TdTn)]. The potential anticancer ability was evaluated in human colon adenocarcinoma HT-29 and human histiocytic lymphoma U-937 cell lines. To that aim, U-937 and HT-29 cells were treated with TdTn, [PtCl2(TdTn)] and [PdCl2(TdTn)] for 24 h. The microscopy monitoring indicated that TdTn, [PtCl2(TdTn)] and [PdCl2(TdTn)] arrested the cell proliferation of U-937 and HT-29 cells with respect to control, in agreement with MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) analysis. Moreover, it is noteworthy that the ligand by its own showed antiproliferative effects in both cell lines. [PtCl2(TdTn)] and [PdCl2(TdTn)] caused caspase-3 activation in U-937 cells, simultaneously with caspase-9 activation due to complexes; however, in HT-29 caspase-3 activation occurred simultaneously with caspase-8 activation induced by the ligand TdTn. Only metal complexes were able to induce ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) generation in U-937 cells, but not TdTn. In HT-29 cells neither the metal complexes, nor the ligand induced ROS generation.

Abstract
Aim: Many heterocyclic compounds derived from natural steroids exhibited broad activities, so this work focused on the investigations on a series of steroidal thiazoline conjugates as antiviral agents. Materials & methods: A series of steroid derivatives containing thiazoline heterocycles were designed and synthesized via a convenient condensation procedure. The compounds were screened for their potential antivirus activities against Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Coxsackie Virus Type B (CVB3). Results and Conclusion: The in vitro bioassay indicated that compounds 5b, 5g and 5i exhibited excellent antiviral effects on EV71, and compounds 5b, 5e, 6c and 6g presented better antiviral activities against CVB3 compared with the controls ribavirin or pirodavir. These results indicate that these steroidal thiazoline conjugates might be feasible therapeutic candidates against EV71 infection, which might also be considered as promising compounds for optimization of potential antivirus agents.

Abstract
In order to obtain novel Human carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) inhibitors, a series of pyridine-thiazolidinone derivatives was synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The binding affinity of the compounds was measured by fluorescence binding studies and enzyme inhibition activity using esterase assay of CAIX. It was observed that compound 8 and 11 significantly inhibit the CAIX activity with the IC50 value, 1.61 μM and 1.84 μM, respectively. The binding-affinity of compound 8 and 11 for CAIX was significantly high with their KD values 11.21 μM and 2.32 μM, respectively. Docking studies revealed that compound 8 and 11 efficiently binds in the active site cavity of CA IX by forming sufficient numbers of H-bonds and van der Waals interactions with active side residues. All the compounds were further screened in vitro for anticancer activity and found that compound 8 and 11 exhibit considerable anticancer activity against MCF-7 and HepG-2 cell lines. All these findings suggest that compound 8 and 11 may be further exploited as a novel pharmacophore model for the development of anticancer agents.

Abstract
The presented review is an attempt to summarize a huge volume of data on 5-ene-4-thiazolidinones being a widely studied class of small molecules used in modern organic and medicinal chemistry. The manuscript covers approaches to the synthesis of 5-ene-4-thiazolidinone derivatives: modification of the C5 position of the basic core; synthesis of the target compounds in the one-pot or multistage reactions or transformation of other related heterocycles. The most prominent pharmacological profiles of 5-ene derivatives of different 4-thiazolidinone subtypes belonging to hit-, lead-compounds, drug-candidates and drugs as well as the most studied targets have been discussed. Currently target compounds (especially 5-en-rhodanines) are assigned as frequent hitters or pan-assay interference compounds (PAINS) within high-throughput screening campaigns. Nevertheless, the crucial impact of the presence/nature of C5 substituent (namely 5-ene) on the pharmacological effects of 5-ene-4-thiazolidinones was confirmed by the numerous listed findings from the original articles. The main directions for active 5-ene-4-thiazolidinones optimization have been shown: i) complication of the fragment in the C5 position; ii) introduction of the substituents in the N3 position (especially fragments with carboxylic group or its derivatives); iii) annealing in complex heterocyclic systems; iv) combination with other pharmacologically attractive fragments within hybrid pharmacophore approach. Moreover, the utilization of 5-ene-4-thiazolidinones in the synthesis of complex compounds with potent pharmacological application is described. The chemical transformations cover mainly the reactions which involve the exocyclic double bond in C5 position of the main core and correspond to the abovementioned direction of the 5-ene-4-thiazolidinone modification.

Abstract
A new series of thiazolylcoumarin derivatives was synthesized. The designed strategy embraced a molecular hybridization approach which involves the combination of the thiazole and coumarin pharmacophores together. The new hybrid compounds were tested for in vitro antitumor efficacy over cervical (Hela) and kidney fibroblast (COS-7) cancer cells. Compounds 5f, 5h, 5m and 5r displayed promising efficacy toward Hela cell line. In addition, 5h and 5r were found to be the most active candidates toward COS-7 cell line. The four active analogs, 5f, 5h, 5m and 5r were screened for in vivo antitumor activity over EAC cells in mice, as well as in vitro cytotoxicity toward W138 normal cells. Results illustrated that 5r has the highest in vivo activity, and that the four analogs are less cytotoxic than 5-FU toward W138 normal cells. In this study, 3D pharmacophore analysis was performed to investigate the matching pharmacophoric features of the synthesized compounds with trichostatin A. In silico studies showed that the investigated compounds meet the optimal needs for good oral absorption with no expected toxicity hazards.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate cytotoxic action of 4-thiazolidinone derivative Les-3833 and study the mechanisms of its pro-apoptotic action toward human melanoma cells and human tumor cell lines of other tissue origin. Methods The effect of Les-3833 or doxorubicin on the viability of 9 cell lines was studied using MTT assay, while human melanoma cells of WM793 line were additionally examined using light and fluorescent microscopies for evaluating cytomorphological changes. The Western-blot and flow cytometric analyses were carried out to study signaling pathways of melanoma cell cycling and death. Results Les-3833 was the most efficient against melanoma cells. Its half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 0.22 μg/mL for WM793 cells and 0.3 μg/mL for SK-Mel-28 melanoma cells. For human lung A549, breast MCF-7, colon HCT116, and ovarian SKOV3 carcinoma cell lines IC50 was in between 2.5 to >5.0 μg/mL. Les-3833 was relatively not toxic (IC50 ˃ 5 μg/mL) for human embryonic kidney HEK293 cells. Results of Annexin V/PI staining of melanoma cells and activation of caspase 3, PARP, MAPK, and EndoG protein suggest apoptosis in Les-3833-treated cells. Les-3833 also induced ROS production in melanoma cells and their arrest in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle. Conclusion Novel 4-thiazolidinone derivative Les-3833 is effective against human melanoma cells in vitro, and such effect is tumor specific since it is much less pronounced in human carcinoma and leukemia cells. In melanoma cells Les-3833 induces apoptosis (morphological changes and increased pro-apoptotic proteins), ROS production, and arrest in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle.

Abstract
Thiazolidinediones show a large scale of biological activities as a result of ability to perform interactions with a variety of biological targets. Modeling properties of newly synthesized thiazolidinediones is important for both understanding their activity and predicting their interactions. In the paper the chromatographic retention data determined in various RP chromatographic systems (stationary phases RP-CN and RP-18; six aqueous binary mobile phases modified with acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, propanol, acetone and dioxane) were considered for 13 new 5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones. In this article, three attempts to find suitable quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) models that quantify retention as a function ofmolecular descriptors had been presented. Models built for RP-18 show generally better multiple R but are also mostly monoparametric with logP as the dominant descriptor. More informative from the standpoint of molecular interactions are QSRR models for RP-CN. The quality of those models depends of the mobile phase modifier (the best was obtained for acetone and the worst for propanol as modifier). Since all QSRR models use extrapolated retention as a property which is indirectly connected with plasma protein binding further assessment of plasma protein binding should be based on extrapolated retention on a RP-CN stationary phase instead of standard RP-18.

Abstract
In the search of efficient anticancer agents, here, new 5-(4-alkylbenzyledene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (5a-g) have been successfully synthesized and characterized and are evaluated for anticancer and antimicrobial activities using DNA cleavage studies. In vitro studies on anticancer activity of compound 5d (NSC: 768619/1) was done against the full panel of 60 human tumor cell lines. The five-level dose activity results revealed that, the compound 5d was active against all the cell lines, it has shown potential activity against leukemia SR (GI50: 2.04 μM), non-small cell lung cancer NCI-H522 (GI50: 1.36 μM), colon cancer COLO 205 (GI50: 1.64 μM), CNS cancer SF-539 (GI50: 1.87 μM), melanoma SK-MEL-2 (GI50: 1.64 μM), ovarian cancer OVCAR-3 (GI50: 1.87 μM), renal cancer RXF 393 (GI50: 1.15 μM), prostate cancer PC-3 (GI50: 1.90 μM), and breast cancer MDA-MB-468(GI50: 1.11 μM). DNA cleavage studies revealed that at 50 μg/mL concentration, partial DNA digestion was observed and when the concentration is increasing to threefold (150 μg/mL), complete linear DNA digestion and partial supercoiled DNA digestion was observed. Further antimicrobial studies indicate that all the synthesized compounds except compound 5a possess prominent activity against all the screened microbial species. This study throws a ray of light in the field of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
A series of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-benzimidazole hybrids (5a–aa) were prepared and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against a panel of sixty human tumor cell lines. Among them compounds 5d and 5l showed significant cytotoxic activity with GI50 values ranging from 1.06 to 14.9 μM and 0.43 to 7.73 μM, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that these compounds arrest the cell cycle at G2/M phase and induced cell death by apoptosis. The tubulin polymerization assay (IC50 of 5d is 3.25 μM and 5l is 1.71 μM) and immunofluorescence analysis showed that these compounds effectively inhibited the microtubule assembly in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7). Further, the apoptotic effects of compounds were confirmed by Hoechst staining, mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome c release, ROS generation, caspase 9 activation and DNA fragmentation analysis. After treatment with these compounds for 48 h, p-PTEN and p-AKT levels were markedly decreased. Moreover, these compounds did not significantly inhibit the normal human embryonic kidney cells, HEK-293. The molecular docking simulations predicted the binding interactions of 5d and 5l with colchicine binding site of the tubulin, which is in compliance with the antiproliferative activity data.

Abstract
A Hybrid drug which comprises the incorporation of two drug pharmacophores in one single molecule are basically designed to interact with multiple targets or to amplify its effect through action on another bio target as one single molecule or to counterbalance the known side effects associated with the other hybrid part(.) The present review article offers a detailed account of the design strategies employed for the synthesis of anticancer agents via molecular hybridization techniques. Over the years, the researchers have employed this technique to discover some promising chemical architectures displaying significant anticancer profiles. Molecular hybridization as a tool has been particularly utilized for targeting tubulin protein as exemplified through the number of research papers. The microtubule inhibitors such as taxol, colchicine, chalcones, combretasatin, phenstatins and vinca alkaloids have been utilized as one of the functionality of the hybrids and promising results have been obtained in most of the cases with some of the tubulin based hybrids exhibiting anticancer activity at nanomolar level. Linkage with steroids as biological carrier vector for anticancer drugs and the inclusion of pyrrolo [2,1-c] [1,4]benzodiazepines (PBDs), a family of DNA interactive antitumor antibiotics derived from Streptomyces species in hybrid structure based drug design has also emerged as a potential strategy. Various heteroaryl based hybrids in particular isatin and coumarins have also been designed and reported to posses' remarkable inhibitory potential. Apart from presenting the design strategies, the article also highlights the structure activity relationship along with mechanistic insights revealed during the biological evaluation of the hybrids.
