In this work, some 2-phenyl quinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives (5a-j) were synthesized via base catalyzed Pfitzinger reaction of isatin and acetophenone followed by C-N coupling reaction using POCl3 and assessed them for their in vitro antimicrobial and anticancer activity. The structure of newly synthesized compound were established by FT-IR, 1H & 13C NMR and Mass spectrometric analysis. The synthesized carboxamides were subjected to preliminary in vitro antibacterial activity as well as for antifungal activity. Results of antibacterial activity were compared with standard antibacterial (ciprofloxocin) and antifungal (fluconozole). Among the tested compounds, 5d, 5f and 5h exhibited promising activity with zone of inhibition ranging from 10 to 25 mm. Further, the anticancer activity determined using MTT assay against two cancer cell lines. Compounds 5b, 5d, 5f and 5h showed good anticancer activity among all the other derivatives. In order to correlate the in vitro results, in silico ADME and Molecular docking studies were carried out for (5a-j). ADME properties results showed that all the compounds obey rule of Five rule except 5a, 5e and 5g compound. Molecular docking studies of the synthesized compounds showed good binding affinity through hydrogen bond interactions with key residues on active sites as well as neighboring residues within the active site of chosen target proteins viz. antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer. Comparison of both results of in silico as well as in vitro investigation suggests that the synthesized compounds may act as potential antimicrobial as well as anticancer agents.

A series of novel N-(1H-benzimidazole-2-yl-carbamothioyl)benzamide derivatives were synthesized under microwave irradiation and evaluated for anticancer activity. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, and mass spectral data. Complexity associated with cancer disease and prevalence of diversified cell populations vindicates highly specific treatment options for treatment of cancer. Resistance to these anticancer agents has posed a great hindrance in successful treatment of cancer. Pondering this ongoing situation, it was speculated to develop novel compounds targeting cancer. All the newly synthesized compounds 3a-f were further evaluated for anticancer activity against MCF-7 cell lines using MTT assay. Molecular docking studies were performed using VLife MDS 4.3 software. The compounds 3c exhibited good docking scores of -60.37. The anticancer and docking results highlight the fact that the synthesized compounds 3c could be considered as possible hit as therapeutic agents. A significant correlation was observed between the in silico and the in vitro studies.

Nowadays, hybrid drugs have gained a significant role in the treatment of different health problems. Most of the hybrid molecules with different heterocyclic moieties were proved to be potent anti-tumor agents in cancer chemotherapy. Hence, the present study is aimed at the evaluation of in vitro anticancer activity of novel hybrid molecules (pyrazolyl benzoxazole conjugates) and to investigate their anticancer activity by molecular docking studies. Designed, synthesized and characterized the novel pyrazolyl benzoxazole conjugates. Anticancer activity of these compounds was determined by SRB assay. Then molecular docking studies were carried out against proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase (ATP-Src, PDB: 2BDF), a putative target for cancer. All the synthesized compound derivatives were evaluated against MCF-7, KB, Hop62 and A549 cancer cell lines. Compounds 9b and 9c exhibited excellent anticancer activities with GI50 values of <0.1 µM against MCF-7 and A549 cell lines. Compound 9e exhibited good antitumor activity on MCF-7 and A-549 with GI50 values of 0.12 µM and 0.19 µM respectively. Compound 9g showed better anticancer activity on A-549 cancer cell line with GI50 of 0.34 µM. The two-hybrid molecules 9b and 9c are found to be comparably potent with the standard drug doxorubicin and may act as drug lead compounds in medicinal chemistry aspect. The present docking investigation proved that having benzoxazole of compound 9c at the position of benzofuran of reference compound (N-acetyl pyrazoline derivative) might be valid for contributing to anti-cancer activity.

Background: The abnormal signaling from tyrosine kinase causes many types of cancers namely breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and chronic myeloid leukemia. This research reports the in-silico, synthesis, and in-vitro study of novel pyrimidine derivatives as EGFR inhibitors. Objective: The objective of the research study is to discover more promising lead compounds using drug discovery process, in which the rational drug design is achieved by the molecular docking and virtual pharmacokinetic studies. Methods: The molecular docking studies were carried out using discovery studio 3.5-version software. The molecules with good docking and binding energy score were synthesized as well as their structures were confirmed by FT-IR, NMR, Mass and elemental analysis. Subsequently molecules were evaluated for their anticancer activity using MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and A431 breast cancer cell lines by MTT and tyrosine kinase assay methodology. Results: Pyrimidine derivatives displayed anticancer activity. Particularly, compound R8 shows significant cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 with an IC50 18.5 ± 0.6 µM. Molecular docking studies proved that the compound R8 has good binding fitting by forming hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues at ATP binding sites of EGFR. Conclusion: Eight pyrimidine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated against breast cancer cell lines. Compound R8 significantly inhibited the growth of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7. Molecular docking studies reveled that compound R8 has good fitting by forming different Hydrogen bonding interactions with amino acids at ATP binding site of epidermal growth factor receptor target. Compound R8 was a promising lead molecule that showed better results as compared to other compounds in in-vitro studies.
