Target cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitors; 5-([2,5-Dihydroxybenzyl]amino)salicylamides (Compounds 1-11) were examined for potential anticancer activity, with a trial to assess the underlying possible mechanisms. Compounds were assessed at a single dose against 60 cancer cell lines panel and those with the highest activity were tested in the five-dose assay. COMPARE analysis was conducted to explore potential mechanisms underlying their biological activity.

Tumor propagation was effectively suppressed by inhibiting VEGFR-2 activity. As a result, the target quinoxaline-pyrazole hybrids were created in a way that closely resembled the structural characteristics of VEGFR-2 inhibitors.

We aimed to assess the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties of lycopene (Lyc), selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs), and lycopene selenium nanoparticles (Lyc-Se-NPs).
Methods: FTIR, polydispersity index, and zeta potential evaluations provided a complete characterization of the synthesized Lyc-Se-NPs.
New derivatives -, , -, -, , , , -, -, and were synthesized and evaluated for their VEGFR-2 inhibition. Compounds , , and showed remarkable enzyme inhibition IC = 57.1, 42.
