In pursuit of an anticancer lead, a library of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives (7a-x) was prepared, characterized and screened for in vitro cytotoxicity in different cell lines. Most of the compounds proved to be cytotoxic with IC values in the low micromolar range. Further studies showed that the most active compound 7c induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in Jurkat cells by activating both the intrinsic and the extrinsic apoptotic pathways and perturbs cell-cycle progression.

The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by FTIR, NMR (H and C NMR) spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. All synthesized compounds were screened for their cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines including pancreatic carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung carcinoma, and leukemias such as acute lymphoblastic, chronic myeloid, and non-Hodgkinson lymphoma cell lines.
