Theoretical and molecular mechanistic investigations of novel (3-(furan-2-yl)pyrazol-4-yl) chalcones against lung carcinoma cell line (A549)

Abstract

A new chalcone series has been developed that may be useful in the treatment of lung cancer. The new series was confirmed by the different spectral tools. MTT assay was used to detect the cytotoxic effect of the novel chalcones against lung cancer cell line (A549). Molecular docking studies were performed on the most two effective chalcones 7b and 7c. Different molecular techniques were utilized to study the activity and the effect of two chalcones 7b and 7c on apoptosis of A549 cell line.

Novel Bis(2‐cyanoacrylamide) Linked to Sulphamethoxazole: Synthesis, DNA Interaction, Anticancer, ADMET, Molecular Docking, and DFT Studies

“…Recently, we reported the synthesis and anticancer activities of 2-cyanoacrylamide linked to sulphamethoxazole and heteroaryl moiety. [10,19] Based on the above assumptions and in our endeavor towards the synthesis of bioactive heterocyclic compounds, [10,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] we report herein the synthesis of some novel derivatives of bis(cyanoacrylamide) linked to sulphamethoxazole moiety and test their cytotoxic activities against different cancer cell lines using MTT assay. Then, the biological activities of the most potent compounds were evaluated using colony formation assay, cell scratch assay, SEM analysis and apoptosis assay.…”

Novel eco-friendly [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]isoquinoline chalcone derivatives efficiency against fungal deterioration of ancient Egyptian mummy cartonnage, Egypt

“…The biological profile of chalcone attracted the attention of organic chemists worldwide to design and develop new chalcone derivatives (Rani et al 2019 ). Chalcones exhibited a variety of biological activities including antibacterial (Nanjundaswamy et al 2022 ), antifungal (Lahtchev et al 2008 ), anticancer (Mohamed et al 2012 , 2014 , 2018 , 2022 ; Tantawy et al 2019 ; Fathi et al 2021 ; Srilaxmi et al 2021 ; Helmy et al 2021 ; WalyEldeen et al 2022 , 2023 ; Kamel et al 2022 ; Sroor et al 2022 ) anti-inflammatory (Rojas et al 2003 ), antimalarial (Larsen et al 2005 ), and antiviral (Cheenpracha et al 2006 ). The mechanism of action for chalcones can be act via the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety as Michael acceptor, thioredoxin reductase, and inhibition of microtubule formation (Menezes and Diederich 2019 ).…”

Regioselective synthesis of fused pyrimidines and quinazolines linked to Phenoxy‐N‐arylacetamide moieties as novel hybrid molecules via Biginelli‐like reaction

“…These compounds hold a unique place in the field of biological and medicinal chemistry, inspiring researchers to create novel motifs with modified structures [26, 27]. In the framework of our current research interest in carbon–carbon bond‐forming reactions [28–35] including Hantzsch reactions [15, 36–38], Michael addition [34, 36, 39–43], Biginelli‐like reaction [10, 11, 44, 45] as well as on the synthesis of bis(heterocycles) [8, 36, 46–51]. We report herein the regioselective synthesis of fused pyrimidines and quinazolines linked to phenoxy‐ N ‐arylacetamide moieties as novel hybrid molecules via Biginelli‐like reaction using aldehyde component (2‐(4‐formylphenoxy)‐ N ‐arylacetamides), nitrogen binucleophiles (3‐amino‐4 H ‐1,2,4‐triazole, or 2‐amino‐1 H ‐benzo[ d ]imidazole), and as the active methylene reagent ( β ‐diketone or β ‐ketoester).…”
