Abstract
The present study deals with an anti-cancer investigation of an array of phthalimide-1,2,3-triazole molecular conjugates with various sulfonamide fragments against human breast MCF-7 and prostate PC3 cancer cell lines. The targeted 1,2,3-triazole derivatives 4a-l and 6a-c were synthesized from focused phthalimide-based alkyne precursors using a facile click synthesis approach and were thoroughly characterized using several spectroscopic techniques (IR, 1H, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis). The hybrid click adducts 4b, 4 h, and 6c displayed cytotoxic potency (IC50 values of 1.49, 1.07, and 0.56 μM, respectively) against MCF-7 cells. On the contrary, none of the synthesized compounds showed apparent cytotoxic efficacy for PC3 cells (IC50 ranging from 9.87- >100 μM). As a part of the mechanism analysis, compound 6c demonstrated a potent inhibitory effect (78.3 % inhibition) of tubulin polymerization in vitro with an IC50 value of 6.53 µM. In addition, biological assays showed that compound 6c could prompt apoptotic cell death and induce G2/M cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 cells. Accordingly, compound 6c can be further developed as an anti-breast cancer agent through apoptosis-induction.

Abstract
Considering the promising effects of molecular hybridization on drug discovery in recent years and the ongoing endeavors to develop bioactive scaffolds tethering the 1,2,3-triazole core, the present study sought to investigate whether the 1,2,3-triazole-linked chromene and benzene sulfonamide nucleus could exhibit activity against the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and prostate cancer cell line PC-3. To this end, three focused bioactive series of mono- and -bis-1,2,3-triazoles were effectively synthesized via copper-assisted cycloaddition of mono- and/or di-alkyne chromenone derivatives 2a and b and 9 with several sulfa drug azides 4a-d and 6. The resulting molecular derivatives were tested for cytotoxicity against prostate and breast cancer cells. Among the derivatives, 10a, 10c, and 10e exhibited potent cytotoxicity against PC-3 cells with IC50 values of 2.08, 7.57, and 5.52 μM compared to doxorubicin (IC50 = 2.31 μM) with potent inhibition of CA IX with IC50 values of 0.113, 0.134, and 0.214 μM. The most active compound, 10a, was tested for apoptosis-induction; it induced apoptosis by 31.9-fold cell cycle arrest at the G1-phase. Further, the molecular modeling approach highlighted the relevant binding affinity for the top-active compound 10a against CA IX as one of the most prominent PC-3 prostate cancer-associated biotargets.

Abstract
Chalcone and triazole scaffolds have demonstrated a crucial role in the advancement of science and technology. Due to their significance, research has proceeded on the design and development of novel benzooxepine connected to 1,2,3-triazolyl chalcone structures. The new chalcone derivatives produced by benzooxepine triazole methyl ketone 2 and different aromatic carbonyl compounds 3 are discussed in this paper. All prepared compounds have well-established structures to a variety of spectral approaches, including mass analysis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and IR. Among the tested compounds, hybrids 4c, 4d, 4i, and 4k exhibited exceptional antibacterial susceptibilities with MIC range of 3.59-10.30 μM against the tested S. aureus strain. Compounds 4c, 4d displayed superior antifungal activity against F. oxysporum with MIC 3.25, 4.89 μM, when compared to fluconazole (MIC = 3.83 μM) respectively. On the other hand, analogues 4d, 4f, and 4k demonstrated equivalent antitubercular action against H37Rv strain with MIC range of 2.16-4.90 μM. The capacity of ligand 4f to form a stable compound on the active site of CYP51 from M. tuberculosis (1EA1) was confirmed by docking studies using amino acids Leu321(A), Pro77(A), Phe83(A), Lys74(A), Tyr76(A), Ala73(A), Arg96(A), Thr80(A), Met79(A), His259(A), and Gln72(A). Additionally, the chalcone‒1,2,3‒triazole hybrids ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion), characteristics of molecules, estimations of toxicity, and bioactivity parameters were assessed.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15026. [PMID: 37834474 PMCID: PMC10573254 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241915026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine is considered a milestone scaffold known to possess various biological activities such as antiparasitic, antifungal, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative activities. In addition, the urgent need for selective and potent novel anticancer agents represents a major route in the drug discovery process. Herein, new aryl analogs were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer effects on a panel of cancer cell lines: MCF-7, HCT116, and HePG-2. Some of these compounds showed potent cytotoxicity, with variable degrees of potency and cell line selectivity in antiproliferative assays with low resistance. As the analogs carry the pyrazolopyrimidine scaffold, which looks structurally very similar to tyrosine and receptor kinase inhibitors, the potent compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on three essential cancer targets: EGFRWT, EGFRT790M, VGFR2, and Top-II. The data obtained revealed that most of these compounds were potent, with variable degrees of target selectivity and dual EGFR/VGFR2 inhibitors at the IC50 value range, i.e., 0.3-24 µM. Among these, compound 5i was the most potent non-selective dual EGFR/VGFR2 inhibitor, with inhibitory concentrations of 0.3 and 7.60 µM, respectively. When 5i was tested in an MCF-7 model, it effectively inhibited tumor growth, strongly induced cancer cell apoptosis, inhibited cell migration, and suppressed cell cycle progression leading to DNA fragmentation. Molecular docking studies were performed to explore the binding mode and mechanism of such compounds on protein targets and mapped with reference ligands. The results of our studies indicate that the newly discovered phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-based multitarget inhibitors have significant potential for anticancer treatment.

Abstract
We report herein a new 1,2,3-triazole derivative, namely, 4-((1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, which was synthesized by copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The structure of the compound was analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-vis, and elemental analyses. Moreover, X-ray crystallography studies demonstrated that the compound adapted a monoclinic crystal system with the P21/c space group. The dominant interactions formed in the crystal packing were found to be hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions according to Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis. The volume of the crystal voids and the percentage of free spaces in the unit cell were calculated as 152.10 Å3 and 9.80%, respectively. The evaluation of energy frameworks showed that stabilization of the compound was dominated by dispersion energy contributions. Both in vitro and in silico investigations on the DNA/bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding activity of the compound showed that the CT-DNA binding activity of the compound was mediated via intercalation and BSA binding activity was mediated via both polar and hydrophobic interactions. The anticancer activity of the compound was also tested by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay using human cell lines including MDA-MB-231, LNCaP, Caco-2, and HEK-293. The compound exhibited more cytotoxic activity than cisplatin and etoposide on Caco-2 cancer cell lines with an IC50 value of 16.63 ± 0.27 μM after 48 h. Annexin V suggests the induction of cell death by apoptosis. Compound 3 significantly increased the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) levels in Caco-2 cells, and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay proved that compound 3 could induce apoptosis by ROS generation.

Abstract
Cancer is spreading worldwide and is one of the leading causes of death. The use of existing chemotherapeutic agents is frequently limited due to side effects. As a result, it is critical to investigate new agents for cancer treatment. In this context, we developed an electrochemical method for the synthesis of a series of thiol-linked pyrimidine derivatives (3a-3p) and explored their anti-cancer potential. The biological profile of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against breast (MDAMB-231 and MCF-7) and colorectal (HCT-116) cancer cell lines. 3b and 3d emerged to be the most potent agents, with IC50 values ranging between 0.98 to 2.45 µM. Target delineation studies followed by secondary anticancer parameters were evaluated for most potent compounds, 3b and 3d. The analysis revealed compounds possess DNA intercalation potential and selective inhibition towards human topoisomerase (hTopo1). The analysis was further corroborated by DNA binding studies and in silico-based molecular modeling studies that validated the intercalating binding mode between the compounds and the DNA.

Marinescu M. Benzimidazole-Triazole Hybrids as Antimicrobial and Antiviral Agents: A Systematic Review. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:1220. [PMID: 37508316 PMCID: PMC10376251 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12071220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Bacterial infections have attracted the attention of researchers in recent decades, especially due to the special problems they have faced, such as their increasing diversity and resistance to antibiotic treatment. The emergence and development of the SARS-CoV-2 infection stimulated even more research to find new structures with antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Among the heterocyclic compounds with remarkable therapeutic properties, benzimidazoles, and triazoles stand out, possessing antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumor, anti-Alzheimer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidiabetic, or anti-ulcer activities. In addition, the literature of the last decade reports benzimidazole-triazole hybrids with improved biological properties compared to the properties of simple mono-heterocyclic compounds. This review aims to provide an update on the synthesis methods of these hybrids, along with their antimicrobial and antiviral activities, as well as the structure-activity relationship reported in the literature. It was found that the presence of certain groups grafted onto the benzimidazole and/or triazole nuclei (-F, -Cl, -Br, -CF3, -NO2, -CN, -CHO, -OH, OCH3, COOCH3), as well as the presence of some heterocycles (pyridine, pyrimidine, thiazole, indole, isoxazole, thiadiazole, coumarin) increases the antimicrobial activity of benzimidazole-triazole hybrids. Also, the presence of the oxygen or sulfur atom in the bridge connecting the benzimidazole and triazole rings generally increases the antimicrobial activity of the hybrids. The literature mentions only benzimidazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrids with antiviral properties. Both for antimicrobial and antiviral hybrids, the presence of an additional triazole ring increases their biological activity, which is in agreement with the three-dimensional binding mode of compounds. This review summarizes the advances of benzimidazole triazole derivatives as potential antimicrobial and antiviral agents covering articles published from 2000 to 2023.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Substantial research efforts have been made to develop new chemical entities with improved anticancer efficacy. 2-Aminobenzothiazole is an important class of heterocycles containing one sulfur and two nitrogen atoms, which is associated with a broad spectrum of medical and pharmacological activities, including antitumor, antibacterial, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral activities. In recent years, an extraordinary collection of potent and low-toxicity 2-aminobenzothiazole compounds have been discovered as new anticancer agents. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review of this class of compounds based on their activities against tumor-related proteins, including tyrosine kinases (CSF1R, EGFR, VEGFR-2, FAK, and MET), serine/threonine kinases (Aurora, CDK, CK, RAF, and DYRK2), PI3K kinase, BCL-XL, HSP90, mutant p53 protein, DNA topoisomerase, HDAC, NSD1, LSD1, FTO, mPGES-1, SCD, hCA IX/XII, and CXCR. In addition, the anticancer potentials of 2-aminobenzothiazole-derived chelators and metal complexes are also described here. Moreover, the design strategies, mechanism of actions, structure-activity relationships (SAR) and more advanced stages of pre-clinical development of 2-aminobenzothiazoles as new anticancer agents are extensively reviewed in this article. Finally, the examples that 2-aminobenzothiazoles showcase an advantage over other heterocyclic systems are also highlighted.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, especially the Omicron variant, remain a great threat to human health. The need to discover potent compounds that may control the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic and the emerged mutants is rising. A set of 1,2,3-triazole and/or 1,2,4-triazole was synthesized either from benzimidazole or isatin precursors. Molecular docking studies and in vitro enzyme activity revealed that most of the investigated compounds demonstrated promising binding scores against the SARS-CoV-2 and Omicron spike proteins, in comparison to the reference drugs. In particular, compound 9 has the highest scoring affinity against the SARS-CoV-2 and Omicron spike proteins in vitro with its IC50 reaching 75.98 nM against the Omicron spike protein and 74.51 nM against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The possible interaction between the synthesized triazoles and the viral spike proteins was by the prevention of the viral entry into the host cells, which led to a reduction in viral reproduction and infection. A cytopathic inhibition assay in the human airway epithelial cell line (Vero E6) infected with SARS-CoV-2 revealed the effectiveness and safety of the synthesized compound (compound 9) (EC50 and CC50 reached 80.4 and 1028.28 µg/mL, respectively, with a selectivity index of 12.78). Moreover, the antiinflammatory effect of the tested compound may pave the way to reduce the reported SARS-CoV-2-induced hyperinflammation.

Abstract
Molecular hybridization approaches have become an important strategy in medicinal chemistry, and to this end, we have developed a series of novel N-1,2,3-triazole-isatin hybrids that are promising as tumour anti-proliferative agents. Our isatin hybrids presented high cytotoxic activity against colon cancer cell line SW480, lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549, as well as breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231. All tested compounds demonstrated better anti-proliferation (to 1-order of magnitude) than the cis-platin (CDDP) benchmark. In order to explore potential biological targets for these compounds, we used information from previous screenings and identified as putative targets the histone acetyltransferase P-300 (EP300) and the acyl-protein thioesterase 2 (LYPLA2), both known to be involved in epigenetic regulation. Advantageous pharmacological properties were predicted for these compounds such as good total surface area of binding to aromatic and hydrophobic units in the enzyme active site. In addition, we found down-regulation of LYPLA2 and EP300 in both the MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells treated with our inhibitors, but no significant effect was detected in normal breast cells MCF10A. We also observed upregulation of EP300 mRNA expression in the MCF10A cell line for some of these compounds and the same effect for LYPLA2 mRNA in MCF7 for one of our compounds. These results suggest an effect at the transcriptional regulation level and associated with oncological contexts.

Abstract
In this study, an efficient multistep synthesis of novel aromatic tricyclic hybrids incorporating different biological active moieties, such as 1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1,2,4-triazole, was reported. These target scaffolds are characterized by having terminal lipophilic or hydrophilic parts, and their structures are confirmed by different spectroscopic methods. Further, the cytotoxic activities of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated using in vitro MTT cytotoxicity screening assay against three different cell lines, including HepG-2, MCF-7, and HCT-116, compared with the reference drug Taxol. The results showed variable performance against cancer cell lines, exhibiting MCF-7 and HepG-2 selectivities by active analogs. Among these derivatives, 1,2,4-triazoles 11 and 13 and 1,3,4-thiadiazole 18 were found to be the most potent compounds against MCF-7 and HepG-2 cancer cells. Moreover, structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies led to the identification of some potent LSD1 inhibitors. The tested compounds showed good LSD1 inhibitory activities, with an IC50 range of 0.04–1.5 μM. Compounds 27, 23, and 22 were found to be the most active analogs with IC50 values of 0.046, 0.065, and 0.074 μM, respectively. In addition, they exhibited prominent selectivity against a MAO target with apparent cancer cell apoptosis, resulting in DNA fragmentation. This research provides some new aromatic-centered 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione and 1,3,4-thiadiazole analogs as highly effective anticancer agents with good LSD1 target selectivity.

Abstract
In the present study, novel phthalimide derivatives 8(a-f) and 9(a-f) bearing a 1,2,3-triazole subunit were synthesized via CuAAC reactions and characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, HR-MS, and FT-IR analyses. To support the fight against SARS-CoV-2, in silico molecular docking studies were carried out to examine their interactions with the proteins of SARS-CoV-2 (Mpro and PLpro) and the protein-protein interactions (PPI) between the ACE2-spike (S1) in comparison with various inhibitors reported to be active by in vitro experiments. The ligand-protein stabilities of compounds 8a-Mpro, 8b-PLpro, and 9a-'ACE2-S1' showing the best binding energy and predicted inhibition constant values (Ki) were examined by molecular dynamics simulation studies. Finally, in silico ADMET properties of the target compounds were investigated using the Swiss ADME and ProTox-II web tools. According to in silico results, all phthalimide analogs may block the PPI between S1 and ACE2. The compounds may also inhibit the progression of the Mpro, and PLpro proteins of SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, it has been estimated that the compounds are suitable for oral administration and exhibit low levels of toxicity.

Abstract
COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and represents one of the greatest health problems that humanity faces at the moment. Therefore, efforts have been made with the objective of seeking therapies that could be effective in combating this problematic. In the search for ligands, computational chemistry plays an essential role, since it allows the screening of thousands of molecules on a given target, in order to save time and money for the in vitro or in vivo pharmacological stage. In this paper, we perform a virtual screening by docking looking for potential inhibitors of the NSP16-NSP10 protein dimer (methyltransferase) from SARS-CoV-2, by evaluating a homemade databank of molecules found in plants of the Caatinga Brazilian biome, compounds from ZINC online molecular database, as well as structural analogues of the enzymatic cofactor s-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and a known inhibitor in the literature, sinefungin (SFG), provided at PubChem database. All the evaluated sets presented molecules that deserve attention, highlighting four compounds from ZINC as the most promising ligands. These results contribute to the discovery of new molecular hits, in the search of potential agents against SARS-CoV-2 virus, still unveiling a pathway that can be used in combined therapies.

Abstract
New medications are desperately needed to combat rising drug resistance among tuberculosis (TB) patients. New agents should ideally work through unique targets to avoid being hampered by preexisting clinical resistance to existing treatments. The enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase InhA of M. tuberculosis is one of the most crucial targets since it is a promising target that has undergone extensive research for anti-tuberculosis drug development. A well-known scaffold for a variety of biological activities, including antitubercular activity, is the molecular linkage of a1,2,3-triazole with an acetamide group. As a result, in the current study, which was aided by ligand-based molecular modeling investigations, 1,2,3-triazolesweredesigned and synthesized adopting the CuAAC aided cycloaddition of 1-(4-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)phenyl)ethanone with appropriate acetamide azides. Standard spectroscopic methods were used to characterize the newly synthesized compounds. In vitro testing of the proposed compounds against the InhA enzyme was performed. All the synthesized inhibitors completely inhibited the InhA enzyme at a concentration of 10 µM that exceeded Rifampicin in terms of activity. Compounds 9, 10, and 14 were the most promising InhA inhibitors, with IC50 values of 0.005, 0.008, and 0.002 µM, respectively. To promote antitubercular action and investigate the binding manner of the screened compounds with the target InhA enzyme’s binding site, a molecular docking study was conducted.

Abstract
Cancer, characterized by a deregulation of the cell cycle which mainly results in a progressive loss of cellular differentiation and uncontrolled cellular growth, remains a prominent cause of death across the world. Almost all currently available anticancer agents used in clinical practice have developed multidrug resistance, creating an urgent need to develop novel chemotherapeutics. Benzimidazole derivatives could exert anticancer properties through diverse mechanisms, inclusive of the disruption of microtubule polymerization, the induction of apoptosis, cell cycle (G2/M) arrest, antiangiogenesis, and blockage of glucose transport. Moreover, several benzimidazole-based agents have already been approved for the treatment of cancers. Hence, benzimidazole derivatives are useful scaffolds for the development of novel anticancer agents. In particular, benzimidazole hybrids could exert dual or multiple antiproliferative activities and had the potential to overcome drug resistance, demonstrating the potential of benzimidazole hybrids as potential prototypes for clinical deployment in the control and eradication of cancers. The purpose of the present review article is to provide a comprehensive landscape of benzimidazole hybrids as potential anticancer agents, and the structure-activity relationship as well as mechanisms of action are also discussed to facilitate the further rational design of more effective candidates, covering articles published from 2019 to 2021.

Abstract
In this study, to investigate the influence of glyoxylate bearing Schiff base on bioactivity to chitosan quaternary ammonium salts, different chitosan derivatives were synthesized by ion exchange of glyoxylate bearing Schiff base with chitosan quaternary ammonium salts (TMCI and HACC). For this purpose, glyoxylate was prepared by Schiff base reaction of glyoxylic acid and amino heterocycles and it was further ionization to substitute iodide ions and chloride ions. After structural characterization by FTIR and 1H NMR, the antifungal and antioxidant activities were measured. Results indicated that glyoxylate bearing Schiff base could improve the bioactivity of TMCI and HACC obviously. Specifically, anionic TMCI with Schiff base of amino pyridines possessed best antioxidant activity >92.40% at 1.6 mg/mL against DPPH radicals. Meanwhile, they showed antifungal activity >84.88% at 1.0 mg/mL against G. cingulate. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity was evaluated, and all samples showed good cell viability >80.14% at 1000 μg/mL.

[PMID: 34801684 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2021.128453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2021] [Revised: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a series of bis- and tetrakis-1,2,3-triazole derivatives were synthesized using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry in 73-95% yield. The bis- and tetrakis-1,2,3-triazoles exhibited significant DNA cleavage activity while the tetrakis-1,2,3-triazole analog 6g completely degraded the plasmid DNA. Molecular docking simulations suggest that compound 6g acts as minor groove binder of DNA by binding through several noncovalent interactions with base pairs. All bis- and tetrakis-1,2,3-triazole derivatives were screened for antibacterial activity against E. coli, B. cereus, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. hirae, L. pneumophila subsp. pneumophila strains and antifungal activity against microfungus C. albicans and C. tropicalis strains. Compound 4d exhibited the best antibacterial activity among bis-1,2,3-triazoles against E. coli and E. hirae, while 6c exhibited the best antibacterial activity among tetrakis-1,2,3-triazoles against E. hirae. Furthermore, the best antifungal activity against C. albicans and C. tropicalis was reported for the compound 5, while 6d displayed the best antifungal activity against C. tropicalis and C. albicans. Reasonable iron chelating activities and DPPH radical scavenging abilities were found for some of the compounds. Finally, the acid dissociation constants (pKa) of the bis-1,2,3-triazoles were also determined with the help of HYPERQUAD program using the data obtained from potentiometric titrations. The reported data here concludes that the bis- and tetrakis-1,2,3-triazoles are important cores that should be considered for further development of especially new anticancer agents acting through the DNA cleavage activity.

Abstract
A new series of 1,2,3-triazole hybrids containing either 2- or 4-hydroxyphenyl benzothiazole (2- or 4-HBT) and naphthalen-1-ol or 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) was synthesized in high yields and fully characterized. In vitro DNA binding studies with herring fish sperm DNA (hs-DNA) showed that quinoline- and 2-HBT-linked 1,2,3-triazoles of shorter alkyl linkers such as 6a are better with a high binding affinity (3.90 × 105 L mol-1) with hs-DNA as compared to naphthol- and 4-HBT-linked 1,2,3-triazoles bound to longer alkyl linkers. Molecular docking of most active 1,2,3-triazoles 6a-f showed high binding energy of 6a (-8.7 kcal mol-1). Also, compound 6a displayed considerable antibacterial activity and superior antifungal activity with reference to ciprofloxacin and fluconazole, respectively. The docking results of the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14-α-demethylase showed high binding energy for 6a (-9.7 kcal mol-1) involving dominating H-bonds, electrostatic interaction, and hydrophobic interaction. The absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) parameter, Molinspiration bioactivity score, and the PreADMET properties revealed that most of the synthesized 1,2,3-triazole molecules possess desirable physicochemical properties for drug-likeness and may be considered as orally active potential drugs. The electrophilicity index and chemical hardness properties were also studied by density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level/basis set.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910324.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key signaling modulators in the tumor microenvironment. Among MMPs, MMP-2 and MMP-9 are receiving renewed interest as validated druggable targets for halting different tumor progression events. Over the last decades, a diverse range of MMP-2/9 inhibitors has been identified starting from the early hydroxamic acid-based peptidomimetics to the next generation non-hydroxamates. Herein, focused 1,2,4-triazole-1,2,3-triazole molecular hybrids with varying lengths and decorations, mimicking the thematic features of non-hydroxamate inhibitors, were designed and synthesized using efficient protocols and were alkylated with pharmacophoric amines to develop new Mannich bases. After full spectroscopic characterization the newly synthesized triazoles tethering Mannich bases were subjected to safety assessment via MTT assay against normal human fibroblasts, then evaluated for their potential anticancer activities against colon (Caco-2) and breast (MDA-MB 231) cancers. The relatively lengthy bis-Mannich bases 15 and 16 were safer and more potent than 5-fluorouracil with sub-micromolar IC50 and promising selectivity to the screened cancer cell lines rather than normal cells. Both compounds upregulated p53 (2–5.6-fold) and suppressed cyclin D expression (0.8–0.2-fold) in the studied cancers, and thus, induced apoptosis. 15 was superior to 16 in terms of cytotoxic activities, p53 induction, and cyclin D suppression. Mechanistically, both were efficient MMP-2/9 inhibitors with comparable potencies to the reference prototype hydroxamate-based MMP inhibitor NNGH at their anticancer IC50 concentrations. 15 (IC50 = 0.143 µM) was 4-fold more potent than NNGH against MMP-9 with promising selectivity (3.27-fold) over MMP-2, whereas 16 was comparable to NNGH. Concerning MMP-2, 16 (IC50 = 0.376 µM) was 1.2-fold more active than 15. Docking simulations predicted their possible binding modes and highlighted the possible structural determinants of MMP-2/9 inhibitory activities. Computational prediction of their physicochemical properties, ADMET, and drug-likeness metrics revealed acceptable drug-like criteria.

Abstract
As observed in the outbreaks of SARS and swine flu, as well as many other infectious diseases, the huge volume of human traffic across numerous enclosed public venues has posed immense challenges to preventing the spread of communicable diseases. There is an urgent need for effective disease surveillance management in public areas under pandemic outbreaks. The physicochemical properties associated with ionic liquids make them particularly suited for molecular communications in sensing networks where low throughput is quite adequate for pathogen detection. This paper presents a self-cognizant system for rapid diagnosis of infectious disease using a bionic sensor such that testing can be supported without collecting a fluid sample from a subject through any invasive methods. The system is implemented for testing the performance of the proposed bionic liquid sensing network.

Abstract
This review article proposes a comprehensive report of the design strategies engaged in the development of various sulfur-bearing cytotoxic agents. The outcomes of various studies depict that the sulfur heterocyclic framework is a fundamental structure in diverse synthetic analogs representing a myriad scope of therapeutic activities. A number of five-, six- and seven-membered sulfur-containing heterocyclic scaffolds, such as thiazoles, thiadiazoles, thiazolidinediones, thiophenes, thiopyrans, benzothiazoles, benzothiophenes, thienopyrimidines, simple and modified phenothiazines, and thiazepines have been discussed. The subsequent studies of the derivatives unveiled their cytotoxic effects through multiple mechanisms (viz. inhibition of tyrosine kinases, topoisomerase I and II, tubulin, COX, DNA synthesis, and PI3K/Akt and Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathways), and several others. Thus, our concise illustration explains the design strategy and anticancer potential of these five- and six-membered sulfur-containing heterocyclic molecules along with a brief outline on seven-membered sulfur heterocycles. The thorough assessment of antiproliferative activities with the reference drug allows a proficient assessment of the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of the diversely synthesized molecules of the series.

Abstract
This study reports an efficient and convenient click chemistry synthesis of a novel series of phthalimide scaffold linked to 1,2,3 triazole ring and terminal lipophilic fragments. Structures of newly synthesized compounds were well characterized by different spectroscopic tools. In vitro MTT cytotoxicity assay was performed comparing the cytotoxic effects of newly synthesized compounds to staurosporine using three different types: human liver cancer cell line (HepG2), Michigan cancer foundation-7 (MCF-7) and human colorectal carcinoma cell line (HCT116). The initial screening showed excellent to moderate anticancer activity for these newly synthesized compounds with high degree of cell line selectivity with micromolar (µM) half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values against tumor cells. The SAR analysis of these derivatives confirmed the role of molecular fragments including phthalimide, linker, triazole, and terminal tails in correlation to activity. In addition, enzymatic inhibitory assay against wild type EGFR was performed for the most active compounds to get more details about their mechanism of action. In order to further explore their binding affinities, molecular docking simulation was studied against EGFR site. The results obtained from molecular docking study and those obtained from cytotoxic screening were correlated. One of the most prominent analogs is (6f) with terminal disubstituted ring and amide linker showed selective MCF-7 cytotoxicity profile with IC50 0.22 µM and 79 nM to EGFR target. Extensive structure activity relationship (SAR) analyses were also carried out. The pharmacokinetic profile of (6f) was studied showing good metabolic stability and long duration behavior. This design offered a potent selective anticancer phthalimide-triazole leads for further optimization in cancer drug discovery.

Abstract
A series of new benzimidazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrid derivatives have been synthesized via 'click' reaction and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity as well as DNA binding affinity. MTT assay showed that all the six compounds are cytotoxic to PC3 and B16-F10 cancer cell lines. Though all the compounds showed moderate interaction with G4, c-Myc promoter DNA and dsDNA, 4f exhibited selective interaction with G-quadruplex DNA over duplex DNA as demonstrated by spectroscopic experiments like UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, CD spectroscopy, thermal melting and fluorescence lifetime experiments. They also confirm the G-quadruplex DNA stabilizing potential of 4f. Viscosity measurements also confirm that 4f exhibits high G-quadruplex DNA selectivity over duplex DNA. Docking studies supported the spectroscopic observations. Cell cycle analysis showed that 4f induces G2/M phase arrest and induces apoptosis. Hence, from these experimental results it is evident that compound 4f may be a G-quadruplex DNA groove binding molecule with anticancer activity.

Abstract
In this study, we reported the discovery of pyridazine based 1,2,3-triazole derivatives as inhibitors of α-glucosidase. All target compounds exhibited significant inhibitory activities against yeast and rat α-glucosidase enzymes compared to positive control, acarbose. The most potent compound 6j, ethyl 3-(2-(1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ethyl)-5,6-diphenylpyridazine-4-carboxylate exhibited IC50 values of 58, and 73 µM. Docking studies indicated the responsibility of hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions in the ligand-enzyme complex stability. The in-vitro safety against the normal cell line was observed by toxicity evaluation of the selected compounds.

Abstract
A library of novel imidazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrids were designed and synthesized based on the hybrid pharmacophore approach. Therefore, copper(I)catalyzed click reaction of thiopropargylated-imidazole 2 with several organoazides yielded two sets of imidazole-1,2,3-triazole hybrids carrying different un/functionalized alkyl/aryl side chains 4a-k and 6a-e. After full spectroscopic characterization using different spectral techniques (IR, 1H, 13C NMR) and elemental analyses, the resulted adducts were screened for their anticancer activity against four cancer cell lines (Caco-2, HCT-116, HeLa, and MCF-7) by the MTT assay and showed significant activity. In-silico molecular docking study was also investigated on one of the prominent cancer target receptors, i.e., glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), revealing a good binding interaction with our potent compound, 4k and was in agreement with the in vitro cytotoxic results. In addition, the ADMET profile was assessed for these novel derivatives to get an insight on their pharmacokinetic/dynamic attributes. Finally, this research design and synthesis offered click chemistry products with interesting biological motifs mainly 1,2,3 triazoles linked to phenyl imidazole as promising candidates for further investigation as anticancer drugs.

Abstract
New conjugates of substituted 1,2,3-triazoles linked to 1,2,4-triazoles were synthesized starting from the appropriate S-propargylated 1,2,4-triazoles 7 and 8. Ligation of 1,2,4-triazoles to the 1,2,3-triazole core was performed through Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition of 1,2,4-triazole-based alkyne side chain 7 and/or 8 with several un/functionalized alkyl- and/or aryl-substituted azides 9-15 to afford the desired 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles 16-27, using both classical and microwave methods. After their spectroscopic characterization (infrared, 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, and elemental analyses), an anticancer screening was carried out against some cancer cell lines including human colon carcinoma (Caco-2 and HCT116), human cervical carcinoma (HeLa), and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7). The outcomes of this exploration revealed that compounds 17, 22, and 25 had a significant anticancer activity against MCF-7 and Caco-2 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 0.31 and 4.98 μM, respectively, in relation to the standard reference drug, doxorubicin. Enzyme-docking examination was executed onto cyclin-dependent kinase 2; a promising aim for cancer medication. Synthesized compounds acquiring highest potency showcased superior interactions with the active site residue of the target protein and exhibited minimum binding energy. Finally, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to confirm the outcomes of the molecular docking and the experimental findings. The chemical reactivity descriptors such as softness (δ), global hardness (η), electronegativity (χ), and electrophilicity were calculated from the levels of the predicted frontier molecular orbitals and their energy gap. The DFT results and the molecular docking calculation results explained the activity of the most expectedly active compounds 17, 22, and 25.

Abstract
Tubulin polymerisation inhibitors exhibited an important role in the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. Herein, we reported the medicinal chemistry efforts leading to a new series of benzothiazoles by a bioisosterism approach. Biological testing revealed that compound 12a could significantly inhibit in vitro tubulin polymerisation of a concentration dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 2.87 μM. Immunofluorescence and EBI competition assay investigated that compound 12a effectively inhibited tubulin polymerisation and directly bound to the colchicine-binding site of β-tubulin in PC3 cells. Docking analysis showed that 12a formed hydrogen bonds with residues Tyr357, Ala247 and Val353 of tubulin. Importantly, it displayed the promising antiproliferative ability against C42B, LNCAP, 22RV1 and PC3 cells with IC50 values of 2.81 μM, 4.31 μM, 2.13 μM and 2.04 μM, respectively. In summary, compound 12a was a novel colchicine site tubulin polymerisation inhibitor with potential to treat prostate cancer.

Abstract
A series of benzothiazole/isatin linked to 1,2,3-triazole moiety and terminal sulpha drugs 5a-e and 6a-e were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against a panel of cancer cell lines. The novel compounds showed variable IC50 range of activity and some of them were potent compared to reference drug. The promising compounds were subjected as postulated the mimicry proposal for quinazoline-based EGFR inhibitors for their inhibitory profile against EGFR TK enzyme. That data obtained revealed that most of these compounds were potent EGFR TK inhibitors at nanomolar concentrations. Among these, compounds 5a and 5b showed more potent activity on EGFR compared to erlotinib (IC50 103 and 104 versus 67.6 nM). Based upon the results, molecular docking analysis was performed on EGFR receptor and proved the strong contribution of fragments; benzothiazole, isatin, and triazole to the binding ATP pocket. When these selected compounds 5a and 5b were tested in an HepG2 model, they could effectively inhibited tumor growth, strongly induced cancer cell apoptosis, and suppressed cell cycle progression leading to DNA fragmentation. Well-DMET profile of the most active derivatives was presented and compared to the reference drugs. Taken together, we introduced novel triazole-sulpha drug hybrid for the first time as EGFR inhibitors and the results of our studies indicate that the newly discovered inhibitors have significant potential for anticancer treatment.

Abstract
The isatin framework is a useful template for the development of novel anticancer agents. This is exemplified by the fact that several isatin-based anticancer agents, such as semaxanib, sunitinib, nintedanib, and hesperadin, are already in use or under clinical trials for the treatment of diverse kinds of cancers. Isatin-based hybrids could be obtained by incorporating other anticancer pharmacophores into the isatin skeleton and they have the potential to overcome drug resistance with reduced side effects. Thus, isatin-based hybrids may provide attractive scaffolds for the development of novel anticancer agents. This review covers the recent advances of isatin-based hybrids with anticancer activity, covering articles published between 2001 and 2019. The anticancer activities of these molecules and the structure-activity relationships are also discussed. The purpose of this review article is to set up the direction for the design and development of isatin-based hybrids with high efficacy and low toxicity.

Abstract
Isatin and azole moieties, which have the ability to form various noncovalent interactions with different therapeutic targets, are common pharmacophores in drug development. Isatin and azole derivatives possess promising in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity, and many of them, such as semaxanib, sunitinib, and carboxyamidotriazole, could be used to treat various cancers. Thus, it is conceivable that hybridization of the isatin moiety with azole may provide a valuable therapeutic intervention for the treatment of cancer. Substantial efforts have been made to develop isatin-azole hybrids as novel anticancer agents, and some of the isatin-azole hybrids exhibited considerable activity. This review emphasizes isatin-azole hybrids with potential anticancer activity, covering articles published between 2010 and 2019. The structure-activity relationships as well as the mechanisms of action are also discussed to provide insights for the rational design of more effective candidates.
