Cancer is a complex disease driven by the dysregulation of multiple signaling pathways and cellular processes. The development of compounds capable of exerting multitarget actions against these key pathways involved in cancer progression is a promising therapeutic approach. Here, a series of novel (/)--(4-(2-(2-(substituted)hydrazineyl)-2-oxoethyl)thiazol-2-yl)-1-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives (-) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their biological activity.

In this study, we present a comprehensive investigation of 2-amino-4,6-diphenylnicotinonitriles (APNs, -), including their synthesis, cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell lines, and photophysical properties. Compound demonstrates exceptional cytotoxicity, surpassing the potency of Doxorubicin. The fluorescence spectra of the synthesized - in different solvents reveal solvent-dependent shifts in the emission maximum values, highlighting the influence of the solvent environment on their fluorescence properties.

Cancer cells frequently develop drug resistance, which leads to chemotherapeutic treatment failure. Additionally, chemotherapies are hindered by their high toxicity. Therefore, the development of new chemotherapeutic drugs with improved clinical outcomes and low toxicity is a major priority.

The increasing prevalence of microbial infections and the emergence of resistance to the currently available antimicrobial drugs urged the development of potent new chemical entities with eminent pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic profiles. Thus, a series of new indole-triazole conjugates was designed and synthesized to be assessed as new antimicrobial candidates using the diameter of the inhibition zone and minimum inhibitory concentration assays against certain microbial strains. Their in vitro antibacterial evaluation revealed good to moderate activity against most of the tested Gram-negative strains with diameter of the inhibition zone (DIZ) values in the range of 11-15 mm and minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) values around 250 µg/mL.

A facile, convenient and high yielding synthesis of novel S-glycosides and N-glycosides incorporating 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene and or 1,2-dihydropyridines moieties has been described. The aglycons 2, 4, and 7 were coupled with different activated halosugars in the presence of basic and acidic medium. The preliminary in-vitro cytotoxic evaluation revealed that compounds 3c, 3f, 5c and 7b show promising activity.
