Design, Synthesis, Molecular Docking, and Biological Studies of New Heterocyclic Compounds Derived from β-Diketones as Novel EGFR and Pim-1 Inhibitors Endowed with AntitumorActivity.

Background: Cancer is a disease illustrated by a shift in the controlled mechanisms that control both cell proliferation and differentiation. It is regarded as a prime health problem worldwide and a leading cause of human death rate exceeded only by cardiovascular diseases. Many reported works are concerned with discovering new antitumor compounds, encouraging us to synthesize new anticancer agents.
