To great...
This work is one of our efforts to discover potent anticancer agents. We modified the most promising derivative previous concerned with development VEGFR-2 inhibitor candidates. Thirteen new compounds based on benzoxazole moiety were synthesized and evaluated against three human cancer cell lines, namely, breast (MCF-7), colorectal carcinoma (HCT116), hepatocellular (HepG2). The also kinase activity. biological testing fallouts showed that compound
Among a group of 310 natural antiviral metabolites, our team identified three compounds as the most potent inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (PDB ID: 5R84), Mpro. The are sattazolin and caprolactin A B. validated multistage in silico study was conducted using several techniques. First, molecular structures selected metabolites were compared with that GWS, co-crystallized ligand Mpro, structural similarity study. aim this to determine thirty similar (10%) may bind Mpro GWS. Then,...
Herein, a new wave of bis([1, 2, 4]triazolo)[4,3-a:3',4'-c]quinoxaline derivatives have been successfully designed and synthesised. The synthesised were biologically investigated for their cytotoxic activities against HepG2 MCF-7. Also, the tested compounds further examined in vitro VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity. most promising derivative 23j was its apoptotic behaviour cell lines using flow cytometric western-plot analyses. Additional in-silico studies performed to predict how can bind...
There is an urgent need to design new anticancer agents that can prevent cancer cell proliferation even with minimal side effects. Accordingly, two series of 3-methylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one and 3-methylquinoxaline-2-thiol derivatives were designed act as VEGFR-2 inhibitors. The synthesised evaluated in vitro cytotoxic against human lines namely, HepG-2 MCF-7. Also, the assessed for their VEGFR-2inhibitory effect. most promising member 11e further investigated reach a valuable insight about its...
In this study, a set of novel benzoxazole derivatives were designed, synthesised, and biologically evaluated as potential VEGFR-2 inhibitors. Five compounds (12d, 12f, 12i, 12l, 13a) displayed high growth inhibitory activities against HepG2 MCF-7 cell lines further investigated for their activities. The most potent anti-proliferative member 12 l (IC50 = 10.50 μM 15.21 MCF-7, respectively) had the promising activity 97.38 nM). A biological evaluation revealed that compound 12l could arrest...
New nicotinamide derivatives 6, 7, 10, and 11 were designed synthesised based on the essential features of VEGFR-2 inhibitors. Compound 10 revealed highest anti-proliferative activities with IC50 values 15.4 9.8 µM against HCT-116 HepG2, respectively compared to sorafenib (IC50 = 9.30 7.40 µM). 7 owned promising cytotoxic 15.7 15.5 same cell lines, respectively. Subsequently, inhibitory assessed for titled compounds exhibit inhibition sub-micromolar values. Moreover, compound induced cycle...
Background: VEGFR-2 is one of the most effective targets in cancer treatment. Aim: The design and semi-synthesis new theobromine derivatives as potential inhibitors. Methods: In vitro silico evaluation synthesized compounds. Results: Compound 5b demonstrated excellent antiproliferative inhibitory effects with significant apoptotic activity. It modulated immune response by increasing IL-2 reducing TNF-α levels. Docking molecular dynamics simulations revealed compound’s binding affinity...
In this study, a series of seven novel 2,4-dioxothiazolidine derivatives with potential anticancer and VEGFR-2 inhibiting abilities were designed synthesized as inhibitors. The compounds tested in vitro for their to inhibit the growth HepG2 MCF-7 cancer cell lines. Among tested, compound 22 (IC50 = 0.079 μM) demonstrated highest anti-VEGFR-2 efficacy. Furthermore, it significant anti-proliferative activities against 2.04 ± 0.06 1.21 0.04 M). Additionally, also increased total apoptotic rate...
