Three sets of substituted indolyl-triazoles were synthesized by the alkylation of 1,2-dihydro-5-(1H-indol-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with different alkyl halides. The use of pyridine restricted the alkylation to sulfur. Whereas, upon using KCO, the alkylation exceeded sulfur to one of the remaining triazole nitrogens. The assignment of which nitrogen is alkylated besides sulfur is made for the first time using X-ray analysis of single crystals and 2D NMR which indicated that S-, 2-N-isomers will be preferably formed over the S-, 1-N-isomers. The antiproliferative activity on HEPG-2 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines was tested. The results showed that compound 2a is the most active with an IC50 3.58 μg/mL and 4.53 μg/mL for HEPG-2 and MCF-7 respectively and compound 7 is the least active with an IC > 100 μg/mL compared to the standard drug doxorubicin (IC 4.0 μg/mL). The interaction of the synthesized compounds with tyrosine kinases, namely, Akt, PI3, and EGFR was also studied using molecular docking simulation to predict their mode of action which will drive future work directions.

Ten coordination compounds, [Cu(L)Cl] (), [Cu(L)NO] (), [Cu(L)Cl] (C3), [Cu(L)NO] (), [Cu(L)Cl] (), [Cu(L)NO] (), [Cu(L)NO] (), [Cu(L)Cl] (), [Cu(L)Cl] (), and [Cu(L)NO] (), containing pyridine derivatives of -methoxyphenyl-thiosemicarbazones were synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure of four compounds was investigated using single crystal X-ray diffraction. Spectral analysis techniques such as FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, elemental analysis, and molar conductivity were used for all the synthesized compounds.

A Schiff base of Chitosan was prepared by condensing of the Chitosan (CS) with six aromatic aldehydes and confirmed by FT-IR, NMR, XRD, TGA, and DSC. XRD results showed the disappeared of peaks at 2θ = 10° for CS and appeared one peaks at around 2θ of 23° for Schiff bases, while TGA was demonstrated that the thermal stability of CS has improved after the modification with the corresponding aldehyde. Also, DSC shows endothermal peak of CS at 100 °C due to the loss of water and second thermal event related to the decomposition of amine units with an exothermic peak at 295 °C, while Schiff bases shows endothermal peak around 70-95 °C which is related to the loss of water for all samples and the second exothermic peak around 260-280 °C is related to the decomposition of the amine group in the polymer units.

To shed light on the significance of thiazole derivatives in the advancement of cancer medication and to contribute to therapeutic innovation, we have designed the synthesis and antiproliferative activity investigation of 5-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-7-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-thioxo-3,7-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d] thiazole-6-carbonitrile, the structure of thiazole derivative was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques UV, IR and NMR. The cytotoxic activity (in vitro) of the new hybrid synthesized compound on five human cancer cell lines; human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2), colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), and epithelioid carcinoma (Hela), and a normal human lung fibroblast (WI-38) was studied using MTT assay. The compound exhibited a strong cytotoxicity effect against HepG-2 and MCF-7.
