Background: Cancer is a deadly disease, which is due to the uncontrolled division of cells with abnormal or unusual characteristics. It is a consequence of lethal mutations occurring due to various chemical and physical carcinogens, affecting many cellular signalling pathways and leading to uncontrolled proliferation. In this study, we analyzed the effect of 4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-N-(2-(3-(4-methylbenzyl) ureido) ethyl)benzamide (IMUEB), an imidazole derivative, on A549 cells (lung cancer cells).

Article Synopsis
  • A new catalytic method was developed for synthesizing 7-(hetero) aryl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine compounds using microwave-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, achieving excellent yields.
  • The method effectively utilizes various boronic acids and potassium organotrifluoroborates, highlighting the importance of stable monoligated catalytic species for successful reactions.
  • A highly efficient precatalytic system (XPhos-PdG2) was employed, which facilitates rapid reaction rates with low catalyst amounts, demonstrating the method's versatility with 7-chloro, 6-azaindole systems featuring free N-H groups.
