Abstract
The conjugation of organometallic complexes to known bioactive organic frameworks is a proven strategy revered for devising new drug molecules with novel modes of action. This approach holds great promise for the generation of potent drug leads in the quest for therapeutic chemotypes with the potential to overcome the development of clinical resistance. Herein, we present the in vitro antiplasmodial and antiproliferative investigation of ferrocenyl α-aminocresol conjugates assembled by amalgamation of the organometallic ferrocene unit and an α-aminocresol scaffold possessing antimalarial activity. The compounds pursued in the study exhibited higher toxicity towards the chemosensitive (3D7) and -resistant (Dd2) strains of the Plasmodium falciparum parasite than to the human HCC70 triple-negative breast cancer cell line. Indication of cross-resistance was absent for the compounds evaluated against the multi-resistant Dd2 strain. Structure-activity analysis revealed that the phenolic hydroxy group and rotatable σ bond between the α-carbon and NH group of the α-amino-o-cresol skeleton are crucial for the biological activity of the compounds. Spectrophotometric techniques and in silico docking simulations performed on selected derivatives suggest that the compounds show a dual mode of action involving hemozoin inhibition and DNA interaction via minor-groove binding. Lastly, compound 9 a, identified as a possible lead, exhibited preferential binding for the plasmodial DNA isolated from 3D7 P. falciparum trophozoites over the mammalian calf thymus DNA, thereby substantiating the enhanced antiplasmodial activity of the compounds. The presented research demonstrates the strategy of incorporating organometallic complexes into known biologically active organic scaffolds as a viable avenue to fashion novel multimodal compounds with potential to counter the development drug resistance.

Abstract
Microtubule (MT)-targeting agents are highly successful drugs as chemotherapeutic agents, and this is attributed to their ability to target MT dynamics and interfere with critical cellular functions, including, mitosis, cell signaling, intracellular trafficking, and angiogenesis. Because MT dynamics vary in the different stages of the cell cycle, these drugs tend to be the most effective against mitotic cells. While this class of drug has proven to be effective against many cancer types, significant hurdles still exist and include overcoming aspects such as dose limited toxicities and the development of resistance. Newer generations of developed drugs attack these problems and alternative approaches such as the development of dual tubulin and kinase inhibitors are being investigated. This approach offers the potential to show increased efficacy and lower toxicities. This review covers different categories of MT-targeting agents, recent advances in dual inhibitors, and current challenges for this drug target.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) is often dysregulated in cancer cells and is an attractive cancer drug target. Previously, we described naphthol AS-E (1) as a small molecule inhibitor of CREB-mediated gene transcription. To understand its bioactive conformation, a series of conformationally constrained analogues of 1 were designed and synthesized. Biological evaluation of these analogues suggests that the global energy minimum of 1 is the likely bioactive conformation.

Abstract
The potent antiproliferative agent SDZ LAP 977, which has shown efficacy in a clinical proof of concept study in actinic keratosis patients, has been previously demonstrated to block the cell cycle in mitosis. In the present study, we further explored the mode of action: SDZ LAP 977 binds to the "colchicine binding site" on tubulin and, thus, inhibits tubulin polymerization in vitro. Moreover, we established structure-activity relationships for the effect of modifications in the 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl moiety ("ring A") of the molecule on in vitro antiproliferative activity.

Abstract
A series of aminoboronic acids was synthesized based on the structure of lavendustin pharmacophore 1. Their inhibitory activities against the epidermal growth-factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth-factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1, Flt-1) protein tyrosine kinases, and various protein kinases, PKA, PKC, PTK, and eEF2K were evaluated. Selective inhibition activities were observed in a series of aminoboronic acids. 4-Methoxy-3-((2- methoxyphenylamino)methyl)phenylboronic acid 10 inhibited EGFR tyrosine kinase, whereas 4-(2,5-dihydroxybenzylamino)phenylboronic acid 12 inhibited Flt-1 protein kinase, although lavendustin pharmacophore 1 inhibited both EGFR and Flt-1 kinases at a compound concentration of 1.0 microg mL(-1). The selective inhibition of EGFR by 10 is considered to be due to the substitution of the dihydroxy groups on the benzyl moiety for a boronic acid group at the para position, whereas the selective inhibition of Flt-1 by 12 is due to the substitution of the carboxyl group on the aniline moiety in the lavendustin pharmacophore 1 for a boronic acid group.
