In the present work, 25 of novel 1,2,4-triazole(4H) derivatives were evaluated for their anti-tumor activity through docking studies and antitumor screening in vitro. The target protein structures of 1YS1, 1FM6, 1BXL were docked with new 1,2,4-triazole(4H) derivatives provided excellent results. In vitro anticancer activity of the compounds was tested by the National Cancer Institute and some of them have revealed the anticancer activity on leukemia, melanoma, lung, ovarian cancers cell lines. Among tested compounds three samples (3,8,16) showed high antitumor activity level and their in-depth preclinical studies are in progress. N-isopropylanilides of 4-benzyl-5-(4-brom)phenoxymethyl-1,2,4-triazolyl-3yl-merkapto-acetic acid 8 was found to be the most active candidate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
