New Imadazopyrazines with CDK9 Inhibitory Activity as Anticancer and Antiviral: Synthesis, In Silico, and In Vitro Evaluation Approaches.

This study describes the synthesis and biological activity of new imadazopyrazines as first-in-class CDK9 inhibitors. The inhibition of CDK9 is a well-established therapeutic target in cancer therapy. The new compounds were assessed using an in vitro kinase assay against CDK9.

Dual EGFR/VEGFR2 inhibitors and apoptosis inducers: Synthesis and antitumor activity of novel pyrazoline derivatives.

Novel derivatives of the pyrazoline scaffold were synthesized and investigated for their cytotoxicity against prostate (PC-3), hepatocellular (HepG2), and breast (MDA-MB-231) carcinoma cells. The most active compounds, 4a, 4b, 5b, and 7c, revealed significant and broad-spectrum anticancer activities with IC values of 1.30-7.
