One-pot efficient synthesis of novel chromone derivatives 4a–h and that of 5a–h were described in a simple method via four-component reaction between furochromone carbaldehyde, amine, isocyanate derivatives, and benzoic acid derivatives or nicotinic acid, respectively. Also, oxazocine derivatives 7a, b were prepared via reaction of visnagine carbaldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate and isocyanate derivatives 2a, b. The obtained derivatives of novel furochromone and oxazocine derivatives were evaluated as promising antitumor agents against panel of two human cell lines, hepatocellular carcinoma (HEPG2) and breast carcinoma (MCF7). The antitumor results suggested that furochromone derivatives 5a–h have activity against MCF7 in comparison with doxorubicin as the standard drug. Furthermore, the molecular docking studies of these novel derivatives of furochromone and oxazocine showed good agreement with the biological results when their binding pattern and affinity towards the active site of EGFR was investigate.

Abstract Background Cancer of the breast is known to be among the top spreading diseases on the globe. Triple-negative breast cancer is painstaking the most destructive type of mammary tumor because it spreads faster to other parts of the body, with high chances of early relapse and mortality. This research would aim at utilizing computational methods like quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR), performing molecular docking studies and again to further design new effective molecules using the QSAR model parameters and to analyze the pharmacokinetics “drug-likeliness” properties of the new compounds before they could proceed to pre-clinical trials. Results The QSAR model of the derivatives was highly robust as it also conforms to the least minimum requirement for QSAR model from the statistical assessments of (R2) = 0.6715, (R2adj) = 0.61920, (Q2) = 0.5460 and (R2pred) of 0.5304, and the model parameters (AATS6i and VR1_Dze) were used in designing new derivative compounds with higher potency. The molecular docking studies between the derivative compounds and Maternal Embryonic Leucine Zipper Kinase (MELK) protein target revealed that ligand 2, 9 and 17 had the highest binding affinities of − 9.3, − 9.3 and − 8.9 kcal/mol which was found to be higher than the standard drug adriamycin with − 7.8 kcal/mol. The pharmacokinetics analysis carried out on the newly designed compounds revealed that all the compounds passed the drug-likeness test and also the Lipinski rule of five. Conclusions The results obtained from the QSAR mathematical model of parthenolide derivatives were used in designing new derivatives compounds that were more effective and potent. The molecular docking result of parthenolide derivatives showed that compounds 2, 9 and 17 had higher docking scores than the standard drug adriamycin. The compounds would serve as the most promising inhibitors (MELK). Furthermore, the pharmacokinetics analysis carried out on the newly designed compounds revealed that all the compounds passed the drug-likeness test (ADME and other physicochemical properties) and they also adhered to the Lipinski rule of five. This gives a great breakthrough in medicine in finding the cure to triple-negative breast cancer (MBA-MD-231 cell line).

AbstractThe anti-proliferative activities of Novel series of 2-(4-fluorophenyl) imidazol-5-ones against MCF-7 breast cancer cell line were explored via in-slico studies which includes Quantitative structure–activity relationship QSAR, molecular docking studies, designing new compounds, and analyzing the pharmacokinetics properties of the designed compounds. From the QSAR analysis, model number one emerged the best as seen from the arithmetic assessments of (R2) = 0.6981, (R2adj) = 0.6433, (Q2) = 0.5460 and (R2pred) of 0.5357. Model number one was used in designing new derivative compounds, with higher effectiveness against estrogen positive breast cancer (MCF-7 cell line). The Molecular docking studies between the derivatives and Polo-like kinases (Plk1) receptor proved that the derivatives of 2-(4-fluorophenyl) imidazol-5-ones bind tightly to the receptor, thou ligand 24 and 27 had the highest binding affinities of −8.8 and − 9.1 kcal/mol, which was found to be higher than Doxorubicin with a docking score of −8.0 kcal/mol. These new derivatives of 2-(4-fluorophenyl) imidazol-5-ones shall be excellent inhibitors against (plk1). The pharmacokinetics analysis performed on the new structures revealed that all the structures passed the test and also the Lipinski rule of five, and they could further proceed to pre-clinical tests. They both revealed a revolution in medicine for developing novel anti-breast cancer drugs against MCF-7 cell line.

A simple and efficient catalytic synthesis of new 1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide derivatives through a one-pot reaction of hydrazine hydrate, arylidene malononitrile and isothiocyanates in the presence of HAp/ZnCl2 nano-flakes at 60-70°C has been described. The protocol's main advantages include high yields of products, a wide range of substrates, simple procedure, and short reaction time. Molecular docking studies of the designed compounds were accomplished as COX-2 inhibitors and showed that compounds 3d, 3e, 3h, and 3n give promising results compared with celecoxib as a reference drug.

The synthesis of novel indole derivatives 4a-o using a microwave assisted method via Schiff’s base and Mannich base reaction mechanism was described. Compounds 3a-c were synthesized via reaction of 2-amino benzothiazole with substituted isatin by Schiff base reaction mechanism. Also, indole derivatives 4a-o were synthesized via reaction of compounds 3a-c with substituted benzaldehydes by Mannich base reaction. The biological potentials of the newly synthesized indole derivatives were evaluated for their anthelmintic activity and in vitro anticancer activity by MTT assay. The anticancer activity results suggested that indole derivatives 4c-o have activity against MCF-7 and SKOV3 cells in comparison with doxorubicin as standard drug. Furthermore, the molecular docking studies of these novel derivatives of indole showed good agreement with the biological results when their binding pattern and affinity towards the active site of EGFR was also investigated.
