The development of innovative methodologies for synthesizing these fundamental structures has been a central focus in organic synthesis. Over the past few decades, numerous approaches have been established to synthesize N-aryl heterocycles efficiently. Among these methods, the direct N-arylation of N-H heterocycles stands out as one of the most straightforward and robust strategies for accessing N-arylated heterocycles. This review provides a comprehensive review of the recent advances in the synthesis of N-arylated heterocycles, encompassing the relevant literature from the past decade. The review summarizes the N-arylation of N-H heterocycles using various catalytic systems, including palladium, nickel, copper, visible light-induced metal-catalyzed, and metal-free catalyzed methodologies. These advances highlighted the continuous evolution and optimization of synthetic strategies to create diverse and complex N-arylated heterocycles, which are pivotal for furthering research and development in multiple scientific domains.","PeriodicalId":10926,"journal":{"name":"Current Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141775621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The methodology depended on the cyclization of the active precursor 2-[(3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-1-(4- phenylthiazol-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methy-lene]hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (2) by its reaction with a series of α-halocarbonyl reagents under Hantzsch reaction conditions. The spectral and analytical data confirmed the structures of all the synthesized compounds. The target compounds were screened for their in vitro anticancer activity. The cytotoxic effects of obtained compound were screened against cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HepG2, and HCT116) using the standard SRB method. Furthermore, products 4, 5, and 7b were the most active against all cancer cell lines, compared with Doxorubicin. These bioactive products effectively suppress the growth of cancer cells by activating the cell death program through late apoptosis. In addition, products 4 and 5 arrested the cell cycle at the S and G2 phases, while product 7b has the ability to arrest the cell cycle at the G2 phase against all three cancer cells. The molecular docking of the products 4, 5, and 7b showed good binding affinities with Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK-8), while the ADMET prediction supported that these bioactive products can be promising anticancer agents.","PeriodicalId":10926,"journal":{"name":"Current Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141754130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
