Abstract
Carbothioamides 3a,b were generated in high yield by reacting furan imidazolyl ketone 1 with N-arylthiosemicarbazide in EtOH with a catalytic amount of conc. HCl. The reaction of carbothioamides 3a,b with hydrazonyl chlorides 4a-c in EtOH with triethylamine at reflux produced 1,3-thiazole derivatives 6a-f. In a different approach, the 1,3-thiazole derivatives 6b and 6e were produced by reacting 3a and 3b with chloroacetone to afford 8a and 8b, respectively, followed by diazotization with 4-methylbenzenediazonium chloride. The thiourea derivatives 3a and 3b then reacted with ethyl chloroacetate in ethanol with AcONa at reflux to give the thiazolidinone derivatives 10a and 10b. The produced compounds were tested for antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Using phosphomolybdate, promising thiazoles 3a and 6a showed the best antioxidant activities at 1962.48 and 2007.67 µgAAE/g dry samples, respectively. Thiazoles 3a and 8a had the highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli with 28, 25 and 27, 28 mm, respectively. Thiazoles 3a and 6d had the best activity against C. albicans with 26 mm and 37 mm, respectively. Thiazole 6c had the highest activity against A. niger, surpassing cyclohexamide. Most compounds demonstrated lower MIC values than neomycin against E. coli, S. aureus and C. albicans. A molecular docking study examined how antimicrobial compounds interact with DNA gyrase B crystal structures. The study found that all of the compounds had good binding energy to the enzymes and reacted similarly to the native inhibitor with the target DNA gyrase B enzymes' key amino acids.

Abstract
Nanotechnology-based strategies can overcome the limitations of conventional cancer therapies. Hence, novel series of pyrimidine Schiff bases (4-9) were employed in the synthesis of selenium nanoparticle forms (4NPs-9NPs). All selenium nano-sized forms exerted greater inhibitions than normal-sized compounds, far exceeding 5-fluorouracil activity. Compound 4 showed effective anti-proliferative activity against MCF-7(IC50 3.14 ± 0.04 µM), HepG-2(IC50 1.07 ± 0.03 µM), and A549(IC50 1.53 ± 0.01 µM) cell lines, while its selenium nanoform 4NPs showed excellent inhibitory effects, with efficacy increased by 96.52%, 96.45%, and 93.86%, respectively. Additionally, 4NPs outperformed 4 in selectivity against the Vero cell line by 4.5-fold. Furthermore, 4NPs exhibited strong inhibition of CDK1(IC50 0.47 ± 0.3 µM) and tubulin polymerase(IC50 0.61 ± 0.04 µM), outperforming 4 and being comparable to roscovitine (IC50 0.27 ± 0.03 µM) and combretastatin-A4(IC50 0.25 ± 0.01 µM), respectively. Moreover, both 4 and 4NPs arrested the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and significantly forced the cells towards apoptosis. Molecular docking demonstrated that 4 and 4NPs were able to inhibit CDK1 and tubulin polymerase binding sites.

Abstract
The investigation of novel EGFR and BRAFV600E dual inhibitors is intended to serve as targeted cancer treatment. Two sets of purine/pteridine-based derivatives were designed and synthesized as EGFR/BRAFV600E dual inhibitors. The majority of the compounds exhibited promising antiproliferative activity on the cancer cell lines tested. Compounds 5a, 5e, and 7e of purine-based and pteridine-based scaffolds were identified as the most potent hits in anti-proliferative screening, with GI50 values of 38 nM, 46 nM, and 44 nM, respectively. Compounds 5a, 5e, and 7e demonstrated promising EGFR inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 87 nM, 98 nM, and 92 nM, respectively, when compared to erlotinib's IC50 value of 80 nM. According to the results of the BRAFV600E inhibitory assay, BRAFV600E may not be a viable target for this class of organic compounds. Finally, molecular docking studies were carried out at the EGFR and BRAFV600E active sites to suggest possible binding modes.

Abstract
Aim: Thalidomide, a once notorious sedative, is now clinically used as an antitumor agent. We aimed to use it as a lead compound for designing pyrimidine-phthalimide hybrids. Materials & methods: Nucleophilic substitution reaction of thalidomide analog 4 with primary and/or secondary aliphatic amines afforded pyrimidine-phthalimide hybrids 5a-g, 6 and 7a-d. Results & conclusion: Compound 7c showed high antiproliferative activity against four cell lines: HepG-2 (IC50: 7.86 ± 0.5 μM), MCF-7 (IC50: 2.77 ± 0.1 μM), HCT-116 (IC50: 5.73 ± 0.4 μM) and PC-3 (IC50: 8.32 ± 0.5 μM), with selective cytotoxicity for WI-38 (IC50: 43.2 ± 2.56 μM). 7c arrested MCF-7 cells at S phase of the cell cycle and increased the total apoptotic cells by 50-fold. 7c inhibited VEGFR2 in vitro (IC50: 0.130 ± 0.02 μM). 7c was capable of binding at the VEGFR2 binding site, forming hydrogen bond interactions with Asp1046 and Glu885 in a similar way to sorafenib.

Abstract
Novel xanthine and imidazolone derivatives were synthesized based on oxazolone derivatives 2a-c as a key intermediate. The corresponding xanthine 3-5 and imidazolone derivatives 6-13 were obtained via reaction of oxazolone derivative 2a-c with 5,6-diaminouracils 1a-e under various conditions. Xanthine compounds 3-5 were obtained by cyclocondensation of 5,6-diaminouracils 1a-c with different oxazolones in glacial acetic acid. Moreover, 5,6-diaminouracils 1a-e were reacted with oxazolones 2a-c in presence of drops of acetic acid under fused condition yielding the imidazolone derivatives 6-13. Furthermore, Schiff base of compounds 14-16 were obtained by condensing 5,6-diaminouracils 1a,b,e with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in acetic acid. The structural identity of the resulting compounds was resolved by IR, 1H-, 13C-NMR and Mass spectral analyses. The novel synthesized compounds were screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities. Compounds 3, 6, 13 and 16 displayed the highest activity against Escherichia coli as revealed from the IC50 values (1.8-1.9 µg/mL). The compound 16 displayed a significant antifungal activity against Candia albicans (0.82 µg/mL), Aspergillus flavus (1.2 µg/mL) comparing to authentic antibiotics. From the TEM microgram, the compounds 3, 12, 13 and 16 exhibited a strong deformation to the cellular entities, by interfering with the cell membrane components, causing cytosol leakage, cellular shrinkage and irregularity to the cell shape. In addition, docking study for the most promising antimicrobial tested compounds depicted high binding affinity against acyl carrier protein domain from a fungal type I polyketide synthase (ACP), and Baumannii penicillin- binding protein (PBP). Moreover, compound 12 showed high drug- likeness, and excellent pharmacokinetics, which needs to be in focus for further antimicrobial drug development. The most promising antimicrobial compounds underwent theoretical investigation using DFT calculation.

Abstract
Ethyl 5-arylpyridopyrimidine-6-carboxylates 3a–d were prepared as a one pot three component reaction via the condensation of different aromatic aldehydes and ethyl acetoacetate with 6-amino-1-benzyluracil 1a under reflux condition in ethanol. Additionally, condensation of ethyl 2-(2-hydroxybenzylidene) acetoacetate with 6-amino-1-benzyluracil in DMF afforded 6-acetylpyridopyrimidine-7-one 3e; a facile, operationally, simple and efficient one-pot synthesis of 8-arylxanthines 6a–f is reported by refluxing 5,6-diaminouracil 4 with aromatic aldehydes in DMF. Moreover, 6-aryllumazines 7a–d was obtained via the reaction of 5,6-diaminouracil with the appropriate aromatic aldehydes in triethyl orthoformate under reflux condition. The synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR and mass spectra) and elemental analyses. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their anticancer activity against lung cancer A549 cell line. Furthermore, a molecular-docking study was employed to determine the possible mode of action of the synthesized compounds against a group of proteins highly implicated in cancer progression, especially lung cancer. Docking results showed that compounds 3b, 6c, 6d, 6e, 7c and 7d were the best potential docked compounds against most of the tested proteins, especially CDK2, Jak2, and DHFR proteins. These results are in agreement with cytotoxicity results, which shed a light on the promising activity of these novel six heterocyclic derivatives for further investigation as potential chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
A variety of different compounds of fused uracils were prepared simply by the heating of 6-hydrazinyl-1-methyl-, 6-hydrazinyl-1-propyl-, or 6-hydrazinyl-1,3-dipropyluracil under reflux with ninhydrin, isatin, benzylidene malononitrile, benzylylidene ethyl cyanoacetate, benzil, and phenacyl bromide derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds were completely screened for antimicrobial and antitumor activity.
