Abstract
Strong evidence supports the anticancer properties of natural plant product isolates. The cytotoxic, genotoxic, and apoptotic properties of an oxime derivative of thymoquinone (TQ) in melanoma cancer cells were investigated. The structure of TQ-Oxime was elucidated through nuclear magnetic resonance, and its effect on B16F10 and L929 cell lines was assessed using a luminometric adenosine triphosphate assay. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (iROS) were quantified via fluorometry, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was assessed using flow cytometry, glutathione (GSH) levels were measured using a luminometric GSH/oxidized glutathione assay, DNA damage via comet assay, and apoptosis was detected using acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining. Concentrations (0.5-20 μM) of TQ-Oxime significantly increased cytotoxicity, DNA damage, apoptosis, and iROS, in a concentration-dependent manner compared (p < 0.001). In addition, MMP and GSH levels decreased significantly with increasing concentrations compared with the control (p < 0.001). Overall, these findings contribute to our understanding of the therapeutic potential of TQ and its derivatives in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the liver, and its incidence is increasing worldwide. There is a need to develop new therapeutic strategies to treat the disease. In this study, we synthesised the oxime derivative of thymoquinone and investigated cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and apoptosis in hepatocellular cancer cells. The synthesised thymoquinone-oxime structure was confirmed by NMR. After incubating the hepatocellular cancer cell line for 24 h, the cytotoxicity ATP by luminometric, intracellular reactive oxygen species, and intracellular calcium by fluorometric. The mitochondrial membrane potential was determined by flow cytometry. DNA damage by alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis, and apoptosis damage by acridine orange/ethidium bromide double dye method. Concentrations of thymoquinone-oxime statistically increased cytotoxicity, intracellular reactive oxygen species, intracellular calcium, apoptosis, and DNA damage in a concentration-dependent manner. Mitochondrial membrane potential and glutathione levels are also decreased. These findings show that thymoquinone-oxime has an anti-tumor effect on hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

A new oxidative pathway of nitric oxide production from oximes in plants. MOLECULAR PLANT 2024; 17:178-198.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential reactive oxygen species and a signal molecule in plants. Although several studies have proposed the occurrence of oxidative NO production, only reductive routes for NO production, such as the nitrate (NO-3) -upper-reductase pathway, have been evidenced to date in land plants. However, plants grown axenically with ammonium as the sole source of nitrogen exhibit contents of nitrite and NO3-, evidencing the existence of a metabolic pathway for oxidative production of NO. We hypothesized that oximes, such as indole-3-acetaldoxime (IAOx), a precursor to indole-3-acetic acid, are intermediate oxidation products in NO synthesis. We detected the production of NO from IAOx and other oximes catalyzed by peroxidase (POD) enzyme using both 4-amino-5-methylamino-2',7'-difluorescein fluorescence and chemiluminescence. Flavins stimulated the reaction, while superoxide dismutase inhibited it. Interestingly, mouse NO synthase can also use IAOx to produce NO at a lower rate than POD. We provided a full mechanism for POD-dependent NO production from IAOx consistent with the experimental data and supported by density functional theory calculations. We showed that the addition of IAOx to extracts from Medicago truncatula increased the in vitro production of NO, while in vivo supplementation of IAOx and other oximes increased the number of lateral roots, as shown for NO donors, and a more than 10-fold increase in IAOx dehydratase expression. Furthermore, we found that in vivo supplementation of IAOx increased NO production in Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type plants, while prx33-34 mutant plants, defective in POD33-34, had reduced production. Our data show that the release of NO by IAOx, as well as its auxinic effect, explain the superroot phenotype. Collectively, our study reveals that plants produce NO utilizing diverse molecules such as oximes, POD, and flavins, which are widely distributed in the plant kingdom, thus introducing a long-awaited oxidative pathway to NO production in plants. This knowledge has essential implications for understanding signaling in biological systems.

Abstract
The present review explores the critical role of oxime and oxime ether moieties in enhancing the physicochemical and anticancer properties of structurally diverse molecular frameworks. Specific examples are carefully selected to illustrate the distinct contributions of these functional groups to general strategies for molecular design, modulation of biological activities, computational modeling, and structure-activity relationship studies. An extensive literature search was conducted across three databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scifinder, enabling us to create one of the most comprehensive overviews of how oximes and oxime ethers impact antitumor activities within a wide range of structural frameworks. This search focused on various combinations of keywords or their synonyms, related to the anticancer activity of oximes and oxime ethers, structure-activity relationships, mechanism of action, as well as molecular dynamics and docking studies. Each article was evaluated based on its scientific merit and the depth of the study, resulting in 268 cited references and more than 336 illustrative chemical structures carefully selected to support this analysis. As many previous reviews focus on one subclass of this extensive family of compounds, this report represents one of the rare and fully comprehensive assessments of the anticancer potential of this group of molecules across diverse molecular scaffolds.

Abstract
The antitumor efficacy of Chinese herbal medicines has been widely recognized. Leading compounds such as sterols, glycosides, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenylpropanoids, and polyketides constitute their complex active components. The antitumor monomers derived from Chinese medicine possess an attractive anticancer activity. However, their use was limited by low bioavailability, significant toxicity, and side effects, hindering their clinical applications. Recently, new chemical entities have been designed and synthesized by combining natural drugs with other small drug molecules or active moieties to improve the antitumor activity and selectivity, and reduce side effects. Such a novel conjugated drug that can interact with several vital biological targets in cells may have a more significant or synergistic anticancer activity than a single-molecule drug. In addition, antitumor conjugates could be obtained by combining pharmacophores containing two or more known drugs or leading compounds. Based on these studies, the new drug research and development could be greatly shortened. This study reviews the research progress of conjugates with antitumor activity based on Chinese herbal medicine. It is expected to serve as a valuable reference to antitumor drug research and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract
We have developed a method of introducing biological oxime ether fragments into peptides by CuI-catalyzed late-stage modification and functionalization of peptides, utilizing their acid moiety and varied 2H-azirines. As a result of its mild conditions, high atom economy, moderate yield, and excellent functional-group tolerance, the method can provide access to late-stage peptide modification and functionalization at their acid sites both in the homogeneous phase and on resins in SPPS, providing a new tool kit for peptide functionalization, diversification, and fluorescent labeling.

Abstract
Six unidentified C21 steroidal glycosides, cynwallosides A-F, as well as twenty-two known compounds, were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum wallichii Wight. The structures of cynwallosides A-F were determined by spectroscopic analysis and acidic hydrolysis. Most of these twenty-eight compounds were found to significantly reverse drug resistance in both the MCF-7/ADR and HepG2/ADM cell lines by suppressing P-gp protein expression. Further investigation revealed that three compounds suppressed P-gp expression by significantly inactivating the JNK and NF-κB pathways.

Abstract
Complex illnesses, such as cancer, are often caused by many disorders, gene mutations, or pathways. Biological pathways play a significant part in the development of these diseases. Multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs) have been used by medicinal chemists recently in an effort to find single molecules that can affect many targets concurrently. In this work, several chalcones containing the ligustrazine moiety were synthesized and tested for their in vitro anticancer activity and several cancer markers, including EGFR, BRAFV600E, c-Met, and tubulin polymerization, in order to uncover multitarget bioactive compounds. In assays using multiple cancer cell lines, the majority of the compounds examined showed strong anticancer activity against them. To synthesize oximes, all of the chalcones were used as precursors. The IC50 values of two compounds (11g and 11e) were found to be 0.87, 0.28, 2.43, 1.04 μM and 11d, 1.47, 0.79, 3.8, 1.63 μM respectively, against A-375, MCF-7, HT-29 and H-460 cell lines. These IC50 values revealed an excellent antiproliferative activity compared to those of the positive control foretinib, (IC50 = 1.9, 1.15, 3.97, and 2.86 μM). Careful examination of their structure and configuration revealed that both compounds had an oxime functional group with z configuration, in place of carbonyl functional group, along with a 2-phenyl thiophenyl moiety with or without a bromo group at position-5. The possible binding pattern was implied by docking simulation, inferring the possibility of introducing interactions with the nearby tubulin chain. Since the novel structural trial has been conducted with a detailed structure activity relationship discussion, this work might stimulate new ideas in further modification of multitarget anti-cancer agents and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Abstract
Coumarin and its nitrogen analogue 1-aza coumarin are a class of lactones and lactams, respectively, which are indispensable heterocyclic units to both chemists and biochemists. 1-Aza coumarin derivatives, which ultimately metabolize as the corresponding 8-hydroxy coumarins in the biological system are therefore found to be very good anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and analgesic agents. A series of hybrid substituted coumarin and azacoumarin-3-carboxylic acid derivatives (8-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (4a), 8-methoxyazacoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (4b), 5-bromo-8-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (5a), 5-bromo-8-methoxyazacoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (5b), 2-acetoxy-5-bromo-8-methoxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (6), and 5,7-di(phenylazo)-8-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (7) were synthesized and structurally proved using spectral and elemental analysis data. Substituted coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (4a and 5a) and Substituted azacoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (4b, 5b and 6) were tested for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and HepG-2 cell lines.

Abstract
A series of novel ligustrazine-chalcone hybrids were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities. The results showed that most of these compounds exhibited significant in vitro cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, A549 and HepG2 cell lines with IC50 values as low as sub-micromole. Among them, compounds 6c and 6f possessed better comprehensive characteristics for the antiproliferation effects on both MDA-MB-231 (IC50: 6c, 1.60 ± 0.21 μM; 6f, 1.67 ± 1.25 μM) and MCF-7 (IC50: 6c, 1.41 ± 0.23 μM; 6f, 1.54 ± 0.30 μM). They also exhibited the potent colony-formation inhibitory abilities on above two cell lines in both concentration and time dependent manners, as well as the significantly suppression capabilities against the migration of such cell lines in a concentration dependent manner by wound-healing assay. Of note, compound 6c could significantly induce the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells in a concentration dependent manner and inhibited the transformation of the growth cycle of MDA-MB-231 cells and blocked the cell growth cycle in G0/G1 phase. Moreover, the in vivo antiproliferation assay of compound 6c on TNBC model indicated such compound had a remarkable potency against tumor growth with a widely safety window. Further immunohistochemistry analysis illustrated that compound 6c was provided with a potent capacity to significantly reduce the Ki-67 positive rate in a dose dependent manner. All the results suggested that these hybrids presented both in vitro and in vivo proliferation inhibition potency against breast cancer and further development with good therapeutic potential should be of great interest.

Abstract
New antibacterial drugs are urgently needed to tackle the rapid rise in multi-drug resistant bacteria. DNA gyrase is a validated target for the development of new antibacterial drugs. Thus, in the present investigation, a novel series of 1,2,4-oxadiazole-chalcone/oxime (6a-f) and (7a-f) were synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR (1H and 13C) and elemental analyses. The title compounds were evaluated for their in-vitro antimicrobial activity by the modified agar diffusion method as well as their E. coli DNA gyrase inhibitory activity. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the structure activity relationships (SARs) were evaluated. Among all, compounds 6a, 6c-e, 7b and 7e were the most potent and proved to possess broad spectrum activity against the tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Additionally, compounds 6a (against S. aureus), 6c (against B. subtilis and E. hirae), 6e (against E. hirae), 6f, 7a and 7c (against E. coli) and 7d (against B. subtilis), with MIC value of 3.12 μM were two-fold more potent than the standard ciprofloxacin (MIC = 6.25 μM). Mechanistically, compounds 6c, 7c, 7e and 7b had good inhibitory activity against E. coli gyrase with IC50 values of 17.05, 13.4, 16.9, and 19.6 µM, respectively, in comparison with novobiocin (IC50 = 12.3 µM) and ciprofloxacin (IC50 = 10.5 µM). The molecular docking results at DNA gyrase active site revealed that the most potent compounds 6c and 7c have binding mode and docking scores comparable to that of ciprofloxacin and novobiocin suggesting their antibacterial activity via inhibition of DNA gyrase. Finally, the predicted parameters of Lipinski's rule of five and ADMET analysis showed that 6c and 7c had good drug-likeness and acceptable physicochemical properties. Therefore, the hybridization of the chalcone and oxadiazole moieties could be promising lead as antibacterial candidate which merit further future structural optimizations.

Abstract
Substituted tetralones have played a substantial role in organic synthesis due to their
strong reactivity and suitability as a starting material for a range of synthetic heterocyclic compounds,
pharmaceuticals along with biological activities as well as precursors of many natural
products and their derivatives. Many α-tetralone derivatives are building blocks that have been used
in the synthesis of therapeutically functional compounds like some antibiotics, antidepressants,
acetylcholinesterase inhibitors effective for treating Alzheimer’s disease and alkaloids possessing
antitumor activity. In this review, there has been an attempt to explore the small molecule library
having an α-tetralone scaffold along with their diverse biological activities. Structural features of α-
tetralone derivatives responsible for potential therapeutic applications are also described.

Abstract
A series of novel penta-1,4-diene-3-one derivatives containing quinazoline and oxime ether moieties were designed and synthesized. Their anticancer activities were evaluated by MTT assay, the results showed that most compounds exhibited extremely inhibitory effects against hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells. In particular, compounds Q2 and Q8 displayed the more potent inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.64 and 0.63 μM, which were better than that of gemcitabine (1.40 μM). Further mechanism studies indicated that compounds Q2, Q8, Q13 and Q19 could control the migration of SMMC-7721 cells effectively, and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells by inhibiting the DNA replication. Western-blot results showed that compounds Q2 and Q8 induced irreversible apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells by regulating the expression level of apoptose-related proteins. Those studies demonstrated that the penta-1,4-diene-3-one derivatives containing quinazoline and oxime ether fragments merited further research as potential anticancer agents.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly contagious airborne disease with nearly 25% of the world's population infected with it. Challenges such as multi drug resistant TB (MDR-TB), extensive drug resistant TB (XDR-TB) and in rare cases totally drug resistant TB (TDR-TB) emphasizes the critical and urgent need in developing novel TB drugs. Moreover, the prolonged and multi drug treatment regime suffers a major drawback due to high toxicity and vulnerability in TB patients. This calls for intensified research efforts in identifying novel molecular scaffolds which can combat these issues with minimal side effects. In this pursuit, researchers have screened many bio-active molecules among which coumarin have been identified as promising candidates for TB drug discovery and development. Coumarins are naturally occurring compounds known for their low toxicity and varied biological activity. The biological spectrum of coumarin has intrigued medicinal researchers to investigate coumarin scaffolds for their relevance as anti-TB drugs. In this review we focus on the recent developments of coumarin and its critical aspects of structural design required to exhibit anti-tubercular (anti-TB) activity. The information provided will help medicinal chemists to design and identify newer molecular analogs for TB treatment and also broadens the scope of exploring future generation potent yet safer coumarin based anti-TB agents.

Abstract
Elaborately and serially pH-modulated hydrogels possessing optimized viscoelastic natures for short gelation time and single syringe injection were designed for peritumoral injection of an anticancer agent. Boronate ester bonds between phenylboronic acid (PBA) (installed in HA-PBA (HP)) and dopamine (included in HA-dopamine (HD)) along with self-polymerization of dopamine (via interactions between HD conjugates) were introduced as the main cross-linking strategies of a hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel. Considering pKa values (8.0-9.5) of PBA and dopamine, the pH of each polymer dispersion was controlled elaborately for injection through a single syringe, and the final pH was tuned nearby the physiological pH (pH 7.8). The shear-thinning behavior, self-healing property, and single syringe injectability of a designed hydrogel cross-linked nearby physiological pH may provide its convenient application to peritumoral injection and prolonged retention in local cancer therapy. Erlotinib (ERT) was encapsulated in a microsphere (MS), and it was further embedded in an HP/HD-based hydrogel for sustained and locoregional delivery. A rheologically tuned hydrogel containing an ERT MS exhibited superior tumor-suppressive efficiencies compared to the other groups in A549 tumor-bearing mice. A designed injectable hydrogel through a single syringe system may be efficiently applied to local cancer therapy with lower toxicities to healthy organs.

Abstract
A series of ethacrynic acid (2-[2,3-dichloro-4-(2-methylidenebutanoyl)phenoxy]acetic acid) (EA, Edecrin) containing sulfonamides linked via three types of linkers namely 1,2-ethylenediamine, piperazine and 4-aminopiperidine was synthesized and subsequently evaluated in vitro against HL60 and HCT116 cancer cell lines. All the EA analogs, excluding 6a and 6c, showed anti-proliferative activity with IC50s in the micromolar range (less than 4 uM). Three derivatives 6b, 7b and 7e were selected for their interesting dual activity on HL60 cell line in order to be further evaluated against a panel of cancer cell lines (HCT116, A549, MCF7, PC3, U87-MG and SKOV3) as well as on MRC5 as a normal cell line. These compounds displayed IC50 values in nanomolar range against A549, MCF7, PC3 and HCT116 cell lines, deducing the discovery that piperazine or 4-aminopiperidine is the linker's best choice to develop EA analogs with highly potent anti-proliferative activities own up to 24 nM. Besides, in terms of selectivity, those linkers are more suitable offering safety ratios of up to 63.8.

Abstract
Microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4), a member of the serine/threonine kinase family, is an emerging therapeutic target in anticancer drug discovery paradigm due to its involvement in regulation of microtubule dynamics, cell cycle regulation, and cancer progression. Therefore, to identify the novel chemical architecture for the design and development of novel MARK4 inhibitors with concomitant radical scavenging property, a series of small-molecule arylaldoxime/5-nitroimidazole conjugates were designed and synthesized via multistep chemical reactions following the pharmacophoric hybridization approach. Compound 4h was identified as a promising MARK4 inhibitor with high selectivity toward MARK4 inhibition as compared to the panel of screened 30 kinases pertaining to the serine/threonine family, which was validated by molecular docking and fluorescence binding studies. The comprehensive cell-based examination divulged the promising apoptotic, antiproliferative, and antioxidant potential for the chemotype 4h. The compound 4h was endowed with the K a value of 3.6 × 103 M-1 for human serum albumin, which reflects its remarkable transportation and delivery properties to the target site via blood. The present study impedes that in the future, such compounds may stand as optimized pharmacological lead candidates in drug discovery for targeting cancer via MARK4 inhibition with a remarkable anticancer profile.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major public catastrophes worldwide and as per WHO, cancer is the leading cause of death universally after CVS disorders accounting for 9.6 million deaths in 2018. WHO statistics revealed five dangerous types of cancer viz. lung, breast, colorectal, prostate and skin. In male, lung cancer causes highest death, while in female, breast cancer causes the most. Alteration in MAPK signalling pathway plays a significant role in majority of cancer cases. Raf protein is activated by phosphorylation via downstream regulation of the MAPK pathway. Raf composed of 3 subtypes, viz. A-Raf, B-Raf, and C-Raf. B-Raf kinase plays a significant role in healthy cell growth in the MAPK pathway and the problem associated with B-Raf mutation leads to the development of cancer and other diseases. The progression of mutant B-Raf (B-RafV600E) protein is higher in cancer as compare to other diseases. In 2002, B-RafV600E mutation was identified for the first time in the development of cancer. The frequency of B-RafV600E mutation is higher in melanoma, thyroid, colorectal and ovarian cancer. We have covered small molecule B-RafV600E inhibitors reported in various literatures; from 2002 to 2020 and also covered clinical trial data. To widen the scope of readers, we compiled details of small molecules, specifically inhibiting B-RafV600E mutant and showing anti-proliferative activity against various cancer cell lines along with in-vivo data. We believe that the information covered here will be important in signifying the potentials of B-RafV600E mutation and its inhibitors as potent anticancer agents.

Abstract
Bis-(3-bromo-4-hydroxy)benzylidene cyclic compounds have been reported by us as epigenetic multiple ligands, but different substitutions at the two wings provided analogues with selective inhibition. Since the 1-benzyl-3,5-bis((E)-3-bromobenzylidene)piperidin-4-one 3 displayed dual p300/EZH2 inhibition joined to cancer-selective cell death in a panel of tumor cells and in in vivo xenograft models, we prepared a series of bis((E)-2-bromobenzylidene) cyclic compounds 4a–n to test in biochemical (p300, PCAF, SIRT1/2, EZH2, and CARM1) and cellular (NB4, U937, MCF-7, SH-SY5Y) assays. The majority of 4a–n exhibited potent dual p300 and CARM1 inhibition, sometimes reaching the submicromolar level, and induction of apoptosis mainly in the tested leukemia cell lines. The most effective compounds in both enzyme and cellular assays carried a 4-piperidone moiety and a methyl (4d), benzyl (4e), or acyl (4k–m) substituent at N1 position. Elongation of the benzyl portion to 2-phenylethyl (4f) and 3-phenylpropyl (4g) decreased the potency of compounds at both the enzymatic and cellular levels, but the activity was promptly restored by introduction of a ketone group into the phenylalkyl substituent (4h–j). Western blot analyses performed in NB4 and MCF-7 cells on selected compounds confirmed their inhibition of p300 and CARM1 through decrease of the levels of acetyl-H3 and acetyl-H4, marks for p300 inhibition, and of H3R17me2, mark for CARM1 inhibition.

Abstract
A silver-catalyzed ring-opening reaction of cyclopropanols with sulfonyl oxime ethers has been developed. The protocol was conducted under mild reaction conditions to provide a series of γ-keto oxime ethers with moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeded in a stereoselective manner for CF3-containing oxime ethers to provide a single stereoisomer, while an inseparable E and Z mixture was obtained for CN-containing oxime ethers. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction proceeded via a radical mechanism.

Abstract
Oximes, which are highly bioactive molecules, have versatile uses in the medical sector and have been indicated to possess biological activity. Certain oximes exist in nature in plants and animals, but they are also obtained by chemical synthesis. Oximes are known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer activities. Moreover, they are therapeutic agents against organophosphate (OP) poisoning. Two oximes are already commonly used in therapy. Due to these abilities, new oxime compounds have been synthesized, and their biological activity has been verified. Often, modification of carbonyl compounds into oximes leads to increased activity. Nevertheless, in some cases, oxime activity is connected to the activity of the substrate. Recent works have revealed that new oxime compounds can demonstrate such functions and thus are considered to be potential drugs for pathogenic diseases, as adjuvant therapy in various types of cancer and inflammation and as potential next-generation drugs against OP poisoning.

Abstract
This study reports the formation of 5-FU co-crystals with four different pharmacologically safe co-formers; Urea, Thiourea, Acetanilide and Aspirin using methanol as a solvent. Two fabrication schemes were followed i.e., solid-state grinding protocol, in which API and co-formers were mixed through vigorous grinding while in the other method separate solutions of both the components were made and mixed together. The adopted approaches offer easy fabrication protocols, no temperature maintenance requirements, no need of expensive solvents, hardly available apparatus, isolation and purification of the desired products. In addition, there is no byproducts formation, In fact, a phenomenon embracing the requirements of green synthesis. Through FTIR analysis; for API the N-H absorption frequency was recorded at 3409.02 cm-1 and that of -C[bond, double bond]O was observed at 1647.77 cm-1. These characteristics peaks of 5-FU were significantly shifted and recorded at 3499.40 cm-1 and 1649.62 cm-1 for 5-FU-Ac (3B) and 3496.39 cm-1 and 1659.30 cm-1 for 5-FU-As (4B) co-crystals for N-H and -C[bond, double bond]O groups respectively. The structural differences between API and co-crystals were further confirmed through PXRD analysis. The characteristic peak of 5-FU at 2θ = 28.79918o was significantly shifted in the graphs of co-crystals not only in position but also with respect to intensity and FWHM values. In addition, new peaks were also recorded in all the spectra of co-formers confirming the structural differences between API and co-formers. In addition, percent growth inhibition was also observed by all the co-crystals through MTT assay against HCT 116 colorectal cell lines in vitro. At four different concentrations; 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg/mL, slightly different trends of the effectiveness of API and co-crystals were observed. However; among all the co-crystal forms, 5-FU-thiourea co-crystals obtained through solution method (2B) proved to be the most effective growth inhibitor at all the four above mentioned concentrations.

Abstract
Hybrid molecules, furnished by combining two or more pharmacophores is an emerging concept in the field of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery that has attracted substantial traction in the past few years. Naturally occurring scaffolds such as coumarins display a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities including anticancer, antibiotic, antidiabetic and others, by acting on multiple targets. In this view, various coumarin-based hybrids possessing diverse medicinal attributes were synthesized in the last five years by conjugating coumarin moiety with other therapeutic pharmacophores. The current review summarizes the recent development (2014 and onwards) of these pharmacologically active coumarin hybrids and demonstrates rationale behind their design, structure-activity relationships (SAR) and mechanistic studies performed on these hybrid molecules. This review will be beneficial for medicinal chemist and chemical biologist, and in general to the drug discovery community and will facilitate the synthesis and development of novel, potent coumarin hybrid molecules serving as lead molecules for the treatment of complex disorders.

Abstract
Numerous members of the combretastatin and chalcone families of natural products function as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization through a binding interaction at the colchicine site on β-tubulin. These molecular scaffolds inspired the development of many structurally modified derivatives and analogues as promising anticancer agents. A productive design blueprint that involved molecular hybridization of the pharmacophore moieties of combretastatin A-4 (CA4) and the chalcones led to the discovery of two promising lead molecules referred to as KGP413 and SD400. The corresponding water-soluble phosphate prodrug salts of KGP413 and SD400 selectively damaged tumor-associated vasculature, thus highlighting the potential development of these molecules as vascular disrupting agents (VDAs). These previous studies prompted our current investigation of conformationally restricted chalcones. Herein, we report the synthesis of cyclic chalcones and related analogues that incorporate structural motifs of CA4, and evaluation of their cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines [NCI-H460 (lung), DU-145 (prostate), and SK-OV-3 (ovarian)]. While these molecules proved inactive as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization (IC50 > 20 μM), eight molecules demonstrated good antiproliferative activity (GI50 < 20 μM) against all three cancer cell lines, and compounds 2j and 2l demonstrated sub-micromolar cytotoxicity. To the best of our knowledge these molecules represent the most potent (based on GI50) cyclic chalcones known to date, and are promising lead molecules for continued investigation.

Abstract
Background: Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) and leishmaniasis are two of the most neglected challenging tropical diseases, caused by the kinetoplastid parasites Trypanosoma and Leishmania species, respectively. For both of these complex disease spectra, treatment options are limited and threatened by drug resistance, justifying urgent new drug discovery efforts. Purpose: In the present study we investigated the antitrypanosomal and antileishmanial activity of a series of 21 symmetrical α,β-unsaturated carbonyl-based compounds, each featuring two 3-methoxybenzene attached to a central cyclohexanone, tetrahydro-4-pyranone scaffold or 4-piperidone ring. Structure-activity relationships were explored with respect to substitution on positions 3, 4 and 6 of the terminal 3-methoxybenzyl groups, and seven types of central ring. Results: Compounds 3a, 3o, 3s and 3t, showed broad anti-kinetoplastid activity against all species and strains tested. Conclusion: Compound 3o featuring N-methyl-4-piperidone was found to be the most potent analog and therefore can serve as a potential lead for the development of new drug candidates for trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis.

Abstract
A series of bi-functional 7-hydroxycoumarin platinum(IV) complexes were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for antitumor activities. The 7-hydroxycoumarin platinum(IV) complexes display moderate to effective antitumor activities toward the tested cell lines and show much potential in overcoming drug resistance of platinum(II) drugs. In reducing microenvironment, the title compounds could be reduced to platinum(II) complex accompanied with two equivalents of coumarin units. By a unique mechanism, the 7-hydroxycoumarin platinum(IV) complex attacks DNA via the released platinum(II) compound, meanwhile it also inhibits the activities of cyclooxygenase by coumarin fragment. This action mechanism might be of much benefit for reducing tumor-related inflammation in the progress of inhibiting tumor proliferation and overcoming cisplatin resistance. The incorporation of 7-hydroxycoumarin leads to significantly enhanced platinum accumulation in both whole tumor cells and DNA. The HSA interaction investigation reveals that the tested coumarin platinum(IV) compound could effectively combine with HSA via van der Waals force and hydrogen bond.

Abstract
A novel series of amino acids conjugated quinazolinone-Schiff's bases were synthesized and screened for their in vitro anticancer activity and validated by molecular docking and DNA binding studies. In the present investigations, compounds 32, 33, 34, 41, 42 and 43 showed most potent anticancer activity against tested cancer cell lines and DNA binding study using methyl green comparing to doxorubicin and ethidium bromide as a positive control respectively. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) revealed that the tryptophan and phenylalanine derived electron donating groups (OH and OCH3) favored DNA binding studies and anticancer activity whereas; electron withdrawing groups (Cl, NO2, and F) showed least anticancer activity. The molecular docking study, binding interactions of the most active compounds 33, 34, 42 and 43 stacked with A-T rich regions of the DNA minor groove by surface binding interactions were confirmed.

Abstract
Low 5-year survival rates, increasing incidence, as well as the specific challenges of targeting pancreatic cancer, clearly support an urgent need for new multifunctional drugs for the prevention and treatment of this fatal disease. Natural products, such as abietane-type diterpenoids, are widely studied as promiscuous anticancer agents. In this study, dehydroabietic oximes were identified as potential compounds to target pancreatic cancer and cancer-related inflammation. The compounds inhibited the growth of human pancreatic cancer Aspc-1 cells with IC50 values in the low micromolar range and showed anti-inflammatory activity, measured as the inhibition of nitric oxide production, an important inflammatory mediator in the tumour microenvironment. Further studies revealed that the compounds were able to induce cancer cell differentiation and concomitantly downregulate cyclin D1 expression with upregulation of p27 levels, consistent with cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Moreover, a kinase profiling study showed that one of the compounds has isoform-selective, however modest, inhibitory activity on RSK2, an AGC kinase that has been implicated in cellular invasion and metastasis.
