A series of new triazolo linked 4β-amidopodophyllotoxin conjugates () were synthesized using click chemistry and evaluated for their antitumor activity against four human cancer cell lines. Among them, two compounds ( and ) showed significant anticancer activity with IC values of 0.9 and 0.07 μM, respectively. Biological studies are conducted into the cell-cycle distribution of these conjugates inducing G2/M-phase arrest, apart from an increase in the levels of caspase-3 proteins, followed by apoptotic cell death. A tubulin polymerization assay analysis showed that these compounds effectively inhibit microtubule assembly in HeLa cells and, moreover, Hoechst 33258 and Immunohistochemistry staining suggest that these compounds induce cell death by apoptosis. The docking studies showed that compounds and interact and bind efficiently with the tubulin protein at the colchicine site.

2-Chloropyridine-3-carbonitrile derivative was utilized as a key precursor to build a series of linear and angular annulated pyridines linked to a 6-hydroxy-4,7-dimethoxybenzofuran moiety. Reaction of substrate with various hydrazines afforded pyrazolo[3,4-]pyridines. Treatment of substrate with 1,3-,-binucleophiles including 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, 5-amino-1-tetrazole, 3-amino-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4)-one and 2-aminobenzimidazole produced the novel angular pyrido[3,2-][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-]pyrimidine, pyrido[3,2-][1,2,4]tetrazolo[1,5-]pyrimidine, pyrido[3',2':5,6] pyrimido[2,1-][1,2,4]triazine and benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-]pyrido[3,2-]pyrimidine, respectively.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer. However, multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle to the effective chemotherapy of cancer cells. This report documents the rational design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a novel series of triazolotriazines substituted with CHNH-linked pyridine for use as dual c-Met/MDR inhibitors.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that there were 247 million malaria cases in 2021 worldwide, representing an increase in 2 million cases compared to 2020. The urgent need for the development of new antimalarials is underscored by specific criteria, including the requirement of new modes of action that avoid cross-drug resistance, the ability to provide single-dose cures, and efficacy against both assexual and sexual blood stages. Motivated by the promising results obtained from our research group with [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives, we selected these molecular scaffolds as the foundation for designing two new series of piperaquine analogs as potential antimalarial candidates.

Context: In this work, 24 new nitrogen-rich fused-ring energetic metal complexes were designed based on the double fused-ring insensitive ligands strategy. First, 7-nitro-3-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-amine and 6-amino-3-(4H,8H-bis([1,2,5]oxadiazolo)[3,4-b:3',4'-e]pyrazin-4-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-1,5-dioxide were linked together by coordinating with metals cobalt and copper. Then, three energetic groups (NH, NO, and C(NO)) were introduced into the system to modify the structure and adjust the performance.
