Abstract
Noscapine an FDA-approved antitussive agent. With low cytotoxicity with higher concentrations, noscapine and its derivatives have been shown to have exceptional anticancer properties against a variety of cancer cell lines. In order to increase its potency, in this study, we synthesized a series of new amido-thiadiazol coupled noscapinoids and tested their cytotoxicity in vitro. All of the newly synthesised compounds demonstrated potent cytotoxic potential, with IC50 values ranging from 2.1 to 61.2 μM than the lead molecule, noscapine (IC50 value ranges from 31 to 65.5 μM) across all cell lines, without affecting normal cells (IC50 value is>300 μM). Molecular docking of all these molecules with tubulin (PDB ID: 6Y6D, resolution 2.20 Å) also revealed better binding affinity (docking score range from -5.418 to -9.679 kcal/mol) compared to noscapine (docking score is -5.304 kcal/mol). One of the most promising synthetic derivatives 6aa (IC50 value ranges from 2.5 to 7.3 μM) was found to bind tubulin with the highest binding affinity (ΔGbinding is -28.97 kcal/mol) and induced apoptosis in cancer cells more effectively.

Abstract
A series of new noscapinoids designed; synthesized and assessed whether its 3-ylidenephthalide and isocoumarin conjugates improved cytotoxicity. Cu-catalysed Sonogashira coupling of N-propargyl noscapine with 2-bromobenzoic acids followed by in-situ substrate-directed 5-exo-dig or 6-endo-dig cyclization produced 3-ylidenephthalide 6 a-6 f and isocoumarin 7 a-7 h analogues in very good yields. In comparison to the lead drug, noscapine, all the newly synthesised derivatives exhibited strong cytotoxic potential in vitro with IC50 ranging from 5.4 μM to 39.5 μM across the evaluated panel of cancer cell lines, without harming normal cells (IC50 >300 μM).

Abstract
Background Fenugreek, also known as Trigonella foenum-graecum L, is a natural plant that belongs to the Fabaceae family and has been known as a promising source of bioactive compounds. It has been widely used as traditional medicine since it has shown to lower blood glucose, manage cholesterol levels and further aid in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Herein, we aim to evaluate the anticancer activity of methanolic fenugreek seed extract against several cancer cell lines. Methods We sought to investigate the phytochemical classes present in multiple fenugreek seeds extracts using HPLC-DAD followed by LC/MS, predict and investigate anticancer activity using PASS online webserver, the CellTiter-Glo assay, evaluate ADME properties, and perform molecular docking for all bioactive compounds via Maestro software. Results Multiple extracts exhibited distinct phytochemical classes that demonstrated different biological activities. Fenugreek methanolic extract contains flavonoid chemical class, which showed the highest anticancer activity against the HCT8 cell line of colorectal cancer (IC50 of 8.83 μg/mL), followed by KAIMRC1 breast cancer cell line (IC50 of 35.06 μg/mL), HL60 leukemia cell line (37.80 μg/mL), MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line (38.51 μg/mL), and lastly, HCT116 colorectal cancer cell line with IC50 of 56.03 μg/mL. In contrast, the chloroform extract was inactive. The molecular docking study for all the bioactive compounds suggested that flavonoids F6 (−9.713 and −12.132), F7 (−10.166 and −12.411), and F11 (−10.084 and −13.516) possess the highest docking scores through SP and XP scores, respectively. Conclusion The obtained results confirm that the bioactive compounds present in fenugreek seeds exhibit anticancer activity against several cancer cells that can mediate via tubulin polymerization inhibition. Although our study has evaluated the anticancer potential of Trigonella foenum-graecum as a promising natural source for new anticancer agents, fenugreek biological activity needs further research and investigations on their mechanism of action and toxicity profile.

Abstract
Novel 1,2,3-triazole-tethered 9-bromonoscapine derivatives were synthesized by the propargylation of N-nornoscapine followed by Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the terminal alkynes with different azides. Cytotoxicity of the products was studied by MTT assay against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Most of the compounds revealed a better cytotoxicity than N-nornoscapine and 9-bromonornoscapine as the parent compounds. Among the synthesized compounds, those with a hydroxylated aliphatic side chain (5p, 5q, and 5r) showed the highest activities (IC50s: 47.2, 37.9, and 32.3 μg/mL, respectively). Molecular docking studies showed that these compounds also had the highest docking scores and effective interactions with binding sites equal to -8.074, -7.425 and -7.820 kcal/mol, respectively.

Abstract
Noscapine is a natural product first isolated from the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) with anticancer properties. In this work, we report the synthesis and cellular screening of a noscapine-based library. A library of novel noscapine derivatives was synthesized with modifications in the isoquinoline and phthalide scaffolds. The so generated library, consisting of fifty-seven derivatives of the natural product noscapine, was tested against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in a cellular proliferation assay (with a Z' > 0.7). The screening resulted in the identification of two novel noscapine derivatives as inhibitors of MDA cell growth with IC50 values of 5 µM and 1.5 µM, respectively. Both hit molecules have a five-fold and seventeen-fold higher potency, compared with that of lead compound noscapine (IC50 26 µM). The identified active derivatives retain the tubulin-binding ability of noscapine. Further testing of both hit molecules, alongside the natural product against additional cancer cell lines (HepG2, HeLa and PC3 cells) confirmed our initial findings. Both molecules have improved anti-proliferative properties when compared to the initial natural product, noscapine.

Abstract
Over the years, the branch of oncology has reached a mature stage, and substantial
development and advancement have been achieved in this dimension of medical science. The
synthesis and isolation of numerous novel anticancer agents of natural and synthetic origins
have been reported. Thiazole and 4-thiazolidinone containing heterocyclic compounds, having
a broad spectrum of pharmaceutical activities, represent a significant class of medicinal
chemistry. Thiazole and 4-thiazolidinone are five-membered unique heterocyclic motifs containing
S and N atoms as an essential core scaffold and have commendable medicinal significance.
Thiazoles and 4-thiazolidinones containing heterocyclic compounds are used as building
blocks for the next generation of pharmaceuticals. Thiazole precursors have been frequently
used due to their capabilities to bind to numerous cancer-specific protein targets.
Suitably, thiazole motifs have a biological suit via inhibition of different signaling pathways involved in cancer
causes. The scientific community has always tried to synthesize novel thiazole-based heterocycles by carrying out
different replacements of functional groups or skeleton around thiazole moiety. Herein, we report the current trend of
research and development in anticancer activities of thiazoles and 4-thiazolidinones containing scaffolds. In the current
study, we have also highlighted some other significant biological properties of thiazole, novel protocols of synthesis
for the synthesis of the new candidates, along with a significant broad spectrum of the anticancer activities of
thiazole containing scaffolds. This study facilitates the development of novel thiazole and 4-thiazolidinone containing
candidates with potent, efficient anticancer activity and less cytotoxic property.

Abstract
Inflammatory processes occur as a generic response of the immune system and can be triggered by various factors, such as infection with pathogenic microorganisms or damaged tissue. Due to the complexity of the inflammation process and its role in common diseases like asthma, cancer, skin disorders or Alzheimer's disease, anti-inflammatory drugs are of high pharmaceutical interest. Nature is a rich source for compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. Several studies have focused on the structural optimization of natural products to improve their pharmacological properties. As derivatization through total synthesis is often laborious with low yields and limited stereoselectivity, the use of biosynthetic, enzyme-driven reactions is an attractive alternative for synthesizing and modifying complex bioactive molecules. In this minireview, we present an outline of the biotechnological methods used to derivatize anti-inflammatory natural products, including precursor-directed biosynthesis, mutasynthesis, combinatorial biosynthesis, as well as whole-cell and in vitro biotransformation.

The drug-tubulin interactions were investigated using spectrofluorometry. The architectural defects, hyper stabilization, and recovery competence of cellular microtubules were studied using immunofluorescence microscopy. DCF-DH and rhodamine 123 were used as probes to to examine the levels of reactive oxygen species and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, respectively. Flow cytometry revealed the cell cycle progression pattern of the drug-treated cells. KEY FINDINGS Among the cell lines tested, N-4-CN showed the strongest inhibition of the viability of the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line MDA-MB-231(IC50 , 2.7 ± 0.1 µmol/L) and weakest inhibition of the noncancerous epithelial cell line, VERO (IC50 , 60.2 ± 3 µmol/L). It perturbed tertiary structure of tubulin and stabilized colchicine binding to the protein. In cells, N-4-CN hyperstabilized the microtubules, and prevented the recovery of cold-depolymerized microtubules. Its multitude of effects on tubulin and microtubules facilitated cell cycle arrest and subsequent cell death that were complemented by elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). SIGNIFICANCE Owing to its ability to perturb a well-defined cancer drug target, tubulin, and to promote ROS-facilitated apoptosis, N-4-CN could be investigated further as a potential therapeutic against many neoplasms, including TNBC.
