[ 1 ] - A comparative QSAR analysis, molecular docking and PLIF studies of some N-arylphenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide analogues as anticancer agents

Dichloroacetate (DCA) is a simple and small anticancer drug that arouses the activity of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) through inhibition of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK1-4). DCA can selectively promote mitochondria-regulated apoptosis, depolarizing the hyperpolarized inner mitochondrial membrane potential to normal levels, inhibit tumor growth and reduce proliferati...

[ 3 ] - Multitarget Drug Design, Molecular Docking and PLIF Studies of Novel Tacrine−Coumarin Hybrids for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as a complicated and progressive neurodegenerative disorder is the most common form of dementia and memory loss. On account of the multifactorial etiology of AD, the multi-target-directed ligand (MTDL) approach is a promising method in searching new drug candidates for this disease. Here, in this paper more than 500 tacrine-coumarin hybrids have been designed and drug-l...

[ 5 ] - Synthesis and anticancer evaluation of novel acenaphtho [1,2-e]-1,2,4- triazine derivatives

In this paper we present the convenient syntheses of seven new phenyl hydrazin derivatives 8 (a-h). For this purpose, acenaphtho [1,2-e]-1,2,4-triazine-9(8H)-thione (3) was prepared, starting from acenaphthylene-1, 2-dione (1) and thiosemicabazide in good yield. The reaction of (3) with benzyl chloride resulted to synthesis of 9-(benzylthio)-acenaphtho[1,2-e]-1,2,4-triazines (5) that reacted wi...
