In this study, four series of new pyrazolo[3,4-]pyrimidine derivatives were designed and synthesized with both green and conventional methods. All the synthesized candidates were chemically confirmed using spectroscopic methods, and the DFT of the reaction mechanism was illustrated. The anti-proliferative activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against NCI 60 cancer cell lines.

A series of novel 1,3,4-thiadiazoles was synthesized the reaction of -(5-(2-cyanoacetamido)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzamide (3) with different carbon electrophiles and evaluated as potential anticancer agents. The chemical structures of these derivatives were fully elucidated using various spectral and elemental analyses. Out of 24 new thiadiazoles, derivatives 4, 6b, 7a, 7d, and 19 have significant antiproliferative activity.

Background: Cancer exerts a huge strain on the health system. The emerging resistance to the current chemotherapies demands the continuous development of new anticancer agents with lower cost, higher efficacy, and greater specificity.

Objective: This study aimed at developing selective small molecules as targeted anticancer agents.

Herein, we used nicotinonitrile derivatives , as scaffolds to build novel and active antineoplastic agents. The reaction of nicotinonitrile derivatives , with POCl/PCl and/or hydrazine hydrate afforded 2-chloropyridones , and 2-hydrazinyl nicotinonitrile derivatives ,, respectively, as building blocks for various heterocyclic compounds. The structures of all of the synthesized heterocycles were elucidated from their spectral and elemental analyses.

In recent years, suppressing tubulin polymerization has been developed as a therapeutic approach for cancer treatment. Thus, new derivatives based on thiazol-5(4)-ones have been designed and synthesized in an eco-friendly manner. The synthesized derivatives have the same essential pharmacophoric features of colchicine binding site inhibitors.

The current study was chiefly designed to examine the antiproliferative and antioxidant activities of some novel quinazolinone(thione) derivatives -. The present work focused on two main points; firstly, comparing between quinazolinone and quinazolinthione derivatives. Whereas, antiproliferative (against two cell lines namely, HepG2 and MCF-7) and antioxidant (by two methods; ABTS and DPPH) activities of the investigated compounds, the best quinazolinthione derivatives were and which exhibited excellent potencies comparable to quinazolinone derivatives and , respectively.

In this study, a series of newly synthesized substituted pyridine -, naphthpyridine derivative and substituted pyrazolopyridines - by using cycnopyridone as a starting material. Some of the synthesized candidates are evaluated as anticancer agents against different cancer cell lines. In vitro cytotoxic activities against hepatocellular and cervical carcinoma cell lines were evaluated using standard MTT assay.

Background: Mechano heterocyclic chemistry (MCH) is a recent quickly growing technique in the synthesis of heterocycles and draws the attention of heterocyclic chemists towards the uses of grindstone technique in a solvent free green efficient synthesis of many heterocyclic systems. On the other hand, multicomponent approach has opened the door for the rapid and efficient one-step procedures to synthesize a wide range of complex targets. Azlactones have been reported to exhibit a wide range of pharmaceutical properties including immune suppressive, anticancer.

Phthalimidoacetyl isothiocyanate underwent addition-cyclization reactions with some nitrogen and carbon nucleophilic reagents. Simultaneous or subsequent cyclization of the obtained adducts gave target heterocyclic systems such as 1,2,4-triazoles, 1,3-diazines, 1,3-oxazines and thiourea attached to a phthalimido moiety. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds was tested.
