A series of isoindolo-benzo-triazines of type 4 was obtained by diazotization of 2-(2-aminoaryl)-1-cyanoisoindoles 3a-j. All the synthesized derivatives were screened by the National Cancer Institute (NCI, Bethesda, USA), for in vitro antitumor activity against a 3-human cancer cell line panel consisting of MCF7 (breast), NCI-H460 (lung), and SF-268 (CNS). Derivatives 4a, f, i, j were selected to be evaluated in the full panel of about 50 human tumor cell lines derived from nine human cancer cell types and showed antiproliferative activity generally in the micromolar range. The most sensitive cell lines were: MOLT-4 and SR of the leukemia subpanel, A549/ATCC and EKVX of the nonsmall cell lung subpanel, COLO-205 of the colon cancer subpanel, LOX IMVI of the Melanoma subpanel, OVCAR-8 of the ovarian cancer subpanel, and MCF7, BT-549 of the breast cancer subpanel.

Hypoxia in tumors contributes to chemotherapy resistance, worsened by acidosis driven by carbonic anhydrases (CA IX and XII). Targeting these enzymes can mitigate acidosis, thus enhancing tumor sensitivity to cytotoxic drugs. Herein, novel 4-(pyrazolyl)benzenesulfonamide ureas () were developed and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against CA IX and XII.

A novel hybrid compound-2-(4,5-dihydro-1-imidazol-2-yl)phthalazin-1(2)-imine () was synthesized and converted into di-substituted sulfonamide derivatives - and phthalazine ring opening products-hydrazonomethylbenzonitriles -. The newly prepared compounds were characterized using elemental analyses, IR and NMR spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data were collected for the representative compounds , , , , and .

The discovery of novel CDK2 inhibitors is crucial for developing targeted anticancer therapies. Thus, in this study, we aimed to design, synthesize, and evaluate a series of novel pyrazole derivatives (2a-g, 7a-d, 8a and b, 9, and 10) for their potential as CDK2/cyclin A2 enzyme inhibitors. The newly synthesized compounds were screened at 50 μM for CDK2 inhibition, followed by IC profiling of the most promising candidates.

Physical activity (PA) improves dyspnoea, psychological wellbeing and quality of life (QoL) for people with COPD reducing their risk of exacerbation. However, engagement in PA is low especially amongst those with anxiety and depression, and PA programmes are limited in countries with limited resources such as Brazil. We explored perceptions of 21 people with COPD about the impact of their disease on taking part in community-based PA programmes in Sao Paulo, Brazil through semi-structured telephone interviews from October 2020 to April 2021.

Article Synopsis
  • The study presents a one-pot, three-component method for synthesizing a new series of quinazolines, resulting in high yields and quick reaction times using cost-effective materials.
  • The synthesis involves cyclocondensation reactions facilitated by either Copper acetate or under catalyst-free conditions, producing compounds suitable for cancer research.
  • Two specific quinazolines showed significant antitumor activity in testing while exhibiting low toxicity to normal human cells, suggesting their potential as safe cancer treatment options.
