Abstract
A new library of aryl incorporated (pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)oxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine (9a-j) compounds are developed to explore new heterocyclic scaffolds with potential anticancer properties. The structural novelty of these hybrids arises from the strategic combination of an oxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine core with a 1,3,4-oxadiazole linker and diverse aryl moieties—an arrangement not previously investigated for anticancer applications. All synthesized compounds were thoroughly characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Further, the anticancer activity of the newly prepared compounds (9a-j) was assessed against a panel of four human cancer cell lines like human breast cancer (MCF-7), human lung cancer (A549), human colon cancer (Colo-205) & human ovarian cancer (A2780) by using of the MTT assay, and the results are compared with the known chemotherapeutic agent etoposide. All the investigated derivatives displayed moderate to good activity. Notably, compounds 9a, 9 g, 9 h, 9i, and 9j showed the most promising results, with compound 9j demonstrating exceptional potency across the tested models.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Data Collections (CDC) provides a publication outlet for the increasing need to make research material and data easy to share and re-use. Publication of research data with CDC will allow scientists to: -Make their data easy to find and access -Benefit from the fast publication process -Contribute to proper data citation and attribution -Publish their intermediate and null/negative results -Receive recognition for the work that does not fit traditional article format. The research data will be published as ''data articles'' that support fast and easy submission and quick peer-review processes. Data articles introduced by CDC are short self-contained publications about research materials and data. They must provide the scientific context of the described work and contain the following elements: a title, list of authors (plus affiliations), abstract, keywords, graphical abstract, metadata table, main text and at least three references. The journal welcomes submissions focusing on (but not limited to) the following categories of research output: spectral data, syntheses, crystallographic data, computational simulations, molecular dynamics and models, physicochemical data, etc.
