Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. Researchers are continually finding new and more effective medications to battle the diseases. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to identify the emerging role of Thiosemicarbazide analogs for different types of cancer targets with a glance at different novel synthetic routes reported for their synthesis. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted from various sources over the last 15 years with the inclusion of published research and review articles that involves the synthesis and use of thiosemicarbazide analogs for different targets of cancer. Data from the literature review for synthesis and anticancer potential for specific targets for cancer studies of thiosemicarbazide analogs are summarized in the paper. RESULTS There are several emerging studies for new synthetic routes of thiosemicarbazide derivatives with their role in various types of cancers. The main limitation is the lack of clinical trial of the key findings for the emergence of new anticancer medication with thiosemicarbazide moiety. CONCLUSION Emerging therapies exist for use of a limited number of medications for the treatment of cancer; results of the ongoing studies will provide more robust evidence in the future.

Abstract
Twelve novel chalcone derivatives were prepared using the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. The reaction of 4-acetyl-5-furan/thiophene-pyrazole derivatives 5 with the corresponding aldehydes 6 afforded the targeted chalcone derivatives 7a-l in good yields. The newly synthesized chalcones were fully characterized by spectrometric and elemental analyses. The in vitro anticancer activities of the novel compounds 7a-l were evaluated against four human cancer cell lines: HepG2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma), MCF7 (human Caucasian breast adenocarcinoma), A549 (lung carcinoma), and BJ1 (normal skin fibroblasts). Compound 7g emerged as the most promising compound, with IC50 = 27.7 µg/ml against A549 cells compared to the reference drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 28.3 µg/ml), and IC50 = 26.6 µg/ml against HepG2 cells compared to the reference drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 21.6 µg/ml). The gene expression and DNA damage values and the DNA fragmentation percentages for compound 7g were determined on the lung and liver cell lines. The expression levels of the AMY2A and FOXG1 genes increased significantly (p < 0.01) in the negative samples of lung cancer cells compared with treated cells. Also, the expression values of the PKM and PSPH genes improved significantly (p < 0.01) in the negative samples compared with treated samples of liver cancer cells. The DNA damage values increased significantly (p < 0.01) in treated lung cell line samples (7g) and the positive control. The results showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in DNA damage values in the negative samples of liver cancer cells compared to those treated with 7g. However, the DNA fragmentation values increased significantly (p < 0.01) in the treated lung and liver cell line samples compared with the negative control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multicomponent reactions are one-pot processes for the synthesis of highly functionalized hetero-cyclic and hetero-acyclic compounds, often endowed with biological activity. OBJECTIVE Multicomponent reactions are considered green processes with high atom economy. In addition, they present advantages compared to the classic synthetic methods such as high efficiency and low wastes production. METHOD In these reactions two or more reagents are combined together in the same flask to yield a product containing almost all the atoms of the starting materials. RESULTS The scope of this review is to present an overview of the application of multicomponent reactions in the synthesis of compounds endowed with antiviral activity. The syntheses are classified depending on the viral target. CONCLUSION Multicomponent reactions can be applied to all the stages of the drug discovery and development process making them very useful in the search for new agents active against emerging (viral) pathogens.

Abstract
The reaction of an alkyl or aryl isocyanates with some primary amines in acetonitrile at room temperature afforded the corresponding alkyl- and aryl-urea derivatives. All the prepared urea compounds have been elucidated by FTIR, NMR, and elemental analysis. The compounds 1 and 3 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The 4-tolylsulfonyl isocyanate reacted with the aryl amines 1, 2, 3, and 2,4-dichloroaniline to afford the corresponding sulfonylurea derivatives 5-8. Likewise, the reaction of the isocyanates with 2,4-dichloroaniline, 5-methyl isoxazole-3-amine, and 2-aminothiazole derivatives gave the corresponding urea derivatives 9-17. All the prepared compounds 5-17 were tested in vitro as anti-microbial and anti-HepG2 agents. Moreover, analyzing gene expression of TP53-exon4 and TP53-exon7, DNA damage values, and DNA fragmentation percentages have been discussed. The compounds 5 and 8 recorded the highest activity against the tested microbial strains with maximum activity against C. albicans (50 mm) and B. mycoides (40 mm), respectively. The compounds 5 inhibited the growth of E. coli, S. aureus, and C. Albicans at the MIC level of 0.0489 µM, while the compound 8 was able to inhibit the visible growth of E. coli and C. albicans at MIC value of 3.13 µM and S. aureus at 0.3912 µM. In the same line, compound 5 showed the best cytotoxic activity against the HepG2 cell line (IC50 = 4.25 µM) compared to 5 fluorouracil with IC50 = 316.25 µM. Expression analysis of liver cancer related to a gene including TP53-exon4 and TP53-exon7 was used in HepG2 Liver cancer cell lines using RT-qPCR. The expression values of TP53-exon4 and TP53-exon7 genes were decreased. The DNA damage values and DNA fragmentation percentages were increased significantly (P < 0.01) in the treated HepG2 (5) sample compared with the negative control. Docking studies were performed for the synthetic compounds against 2 bacterial proteins (DNA gyrase subunit B, and penicillin binding protein 1a) that are known targets for some antibiotics, and one cell division protein kinase 2 (CDK2) as target for anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Two novel chemotherapeutic chalcones were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by different spectral tools. Theoretical studies such as molecular modeling were done to detect the mechanism of action of these compounds. In vitro cytotoxicity showed a strong effect against all tested cell lines (MCF7, A459, HepG2, and HCT116), and low toxic effect against normal human melanocytes (HFB4). The lung carcinoma cell line was chosen for further molecular studies. Real-time PCR demonstrated that the two compounds upregulated gene expression of (BAX, p53, casp-3, casp-8, casp-9) genes and decreased the expression of anti-apoptotic genes bcl2, CDK4, and MMP1. Flow-cytometry indicated that cell cycle arrest of A459 was induced at the G2/M phase and the apoptotic percentage increased significantly compared to the control sample. Cytochrome c oxidase and VEGF enzyme activity were detected by ELISA assay. SEM tool was used to follow the morphological changes that occurred on the cell surface, cell granulation, and average roughness of the cell surface. The change in the number and morphology of mitochondria, cell shrinkage, increase in the number of cytoplasmic organelles, membrane blebbing, chromatin condensation, and apoptotic bodies were observed using TEM. The obtained data suggested that new chalcones exerted their pathways on lung carcinoma through induction of two pathways of apoptosis. Graphical abstract Novel chalcones were prepared and confirmed by different spectral tools. Docking simulations were done to detect the mechanism of action. In vitro cytotoxicity indicated a strong effect against different cancer cell lines and low toxic effects against normal human melanocytes (HFB4). The lung carcinoma cell line was chosen for further molecular studies that include Real-time PCR, Flow-cytometry, Cytochrome c oxidase, and ELISA assay. SEM and TEM tool were used to follow the morphological changes occurred on the cell surface.

Abstract
Background:
Chalcones are naturally occurring compounds found in various plant species which are
widely used for the traditional popular treatments. Chalcones are distinguished secondary metabolites that are
reported to display diverse biological activities such as antiviral, antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, anticancer,
antibacterial and antioxidant agents. The presence of a,ß-unsaturated carbonyl group in chalcones is assumed to
be responsible for their bioactivity. In addition, heterocyclic compounds having nitrogen such as isoquinolines
are of considerable interest as they constitute the core structural element of many alkaloids that have enormous
pharmacological activities.
Objective:
The objective of this study is the synthesis and biological activity of novel chalcones incorporating
thiadiazolyl isoquinoline as potential anticancer candidates. Different genetic tools were used in an attempt to
know the mechanism of action of this compound against breast cancer.
Methods:
An efficient one pot synthesis of novel chalcones incorporating thiadiazolyl isoquinoline has been
developed. The cytotoxic activity of the novel synthesized compounds was performed against four different
kinds of cancer cell lines.
Results:
Among all the tested derivatives, chalcone 3 has the best cytotoxic profile against A549, MCF7, and
HeLa cell lines, with IC50s (66.1, 51.3, and 85.1μM, respectively). Molecular docking studies for chalcone 3
revealed that CDK2, and EGFRTK domains have strong binding affinities toward the novel chalcone 3, while
tubulin-colchicine-ustiloxin, and VEGFRTK domains illustrated moderate mode of binding.
Conclusion:
We have developed an efficient method for the synthesis of novel chalcones incorporating thiadiazolyl
isoquinoline. All compounds showed better cytotoxicity results against four kinds of cancer cell lines
(A549, MCF7, HCT116, and HELA cells). The results depicted that chalcone 3 has a high and promising cytotoxic
effect against HELA cell line and the mechanism of cytotoxicity was widely studied through different
theoretical and experimental tools. Thus, the newly synthesized derivative 3 can be utilized as a novel chemotherapeutic
compound for cervical carcinoma.
