Abstract
Cancer is the world's leading cause of death impacting millions of lives globally. The increasing research over the past several decades has focused on the development of new anticancer drugs, but still cancer continues to be a global health challenge. Thus, several new alternative therapeutic strategies have been tried for the drug design and discovery. Purine and pyrimidine heterocyclic compounds have received attention recently due to their potential in targeting various cancers. It is evident from the recently published data over the last decade that incorporation of the purine and pyrimidine rings in the synthesized derivatives resulted in the development of potent anticancer molecules. This review presents synthetic strategies encompassing several examples of recently developed purine and pyrimidine-containing compounds as anticancer agents. In addition, their structure-activity relationships are represented in the schemes indicating the fragment or groups that are essential for the enhanced anticancer activities. Purine and pyrimidines combined with other heterocyclic compounds have resulted in many novel anticancer molecules that address the challenges of drug resistance. The purine and pyrimidine derivatives showed significantly enhanced anticancer activities against targeted receptor proteins with numerous compounds with an IC50 value in the nanomolar range. The review will support medicinal chemists and contribute in progression and development of synthesis of more potent chemotherapeutic drug candidates to mitigate the burden of this dreadful disease.

Abstract
The increasing global prevalence of Alzheimer's disease necessitates the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Neurodegenerative diseases are associated with increased oxidative stress and levels of cholinesterase enzymes. Hence, the development of cholinesterase inhibitors and antioxidants may provide neuroprotective effects. Our study focused on the synthesis of a new series of hydrazone and thiosemicarbazide derivatives bearing a pyrimidine ring. The compounds of structures were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HR-MS spectroscopic methods. Compounds 3a and 4f were determined using COSY and HSQC spectra. Compared to the standard drug galantamine (IC50 = 4.82 ± 0.75 µM), compound 3d exhibited remarkable inhibitory activity against AChE (IC50 values of 20.15 ± 0.44 µM). This compound was more effective against BChE (IC50 = 36.42 ± 0.73 µM) than galantamine (IC50 = 45.54 ± 0.18 µM). Antioxidant assays revealed the robust antioxidant activity of compound 3d. Furthermore, docking studies have shown that the active site of enzymes interacts strongly with electron donors through hydrogen bonds, while the aromatic ring structure plays an active role in π interactions.

Abstract
The synthesis of new agents for cancer treatment persists due to its global lethality. A series of thirteen derivatives, namely salicylic acid-5-sulfohydrazide (SA-SH) analogs, were designed and synthesized from 5-(chlorosulfonyl)-2-hydroxybenzoic acid via nucleophilic substitution reaction with different acid hydrazides, thiocarbohydrazide & thiosemicarbazide scaffolds. Confirmation of the designed derivative's structures employed various spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR and NMR) and elemental analysis. The newly synthesized synthons were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against HepG-2 and HCT-116 cell lines in comparison to Doxorubicin. Notably, SA-SH derivatives (5, 7, 8a, 8b and 11) exhibited significantly higher efficacy against HepG-2 and HCT-116 cell lines than other analogs. Furthermore, compound (8a) demonstrated a superior activity against HepG-2 cell lines with IC50 values of 3.99 ± 0.2 μM than the reference drug, Doxorubicin, (IC50 HepG-2 = 4.50 ± 0.2 µM). The molecular docking simulation of the most active SA-SH derivatives and the reference drug doxorubicin into the active site of FGFR4 (fibroblast growth factor receptor, the predominant isoform expressed in human hepatocytes) (PDB ID: 6V9C) proved the usefulness of hybridizing salicylic scaffold with SO2 and hydrazide moieties as a promising approach in designing new anticancer agents. Finally, ADME and drug-likeness features of the most active compounds compared to positive controls were investigated to increase the success possibilities in clinical trials and they were found to be promising candidates for further investigation and development as drugs.

Abstract
Due to the variability and ability of tumor to mutate, as well as the heterogeneity of tumor tissue, such drugs are sought that would act selectively and multidirectionally on the cancer cell. Therefore, two newly synthesized semicarbazide structured substances were evaluated for anticancer properties in our study: 1a and 1b. In order to evaluate the cytotoxicity and selectivity of the tested compounds, MTT and Neutral Red uptake assay on cell lines (HEK293, LN229, 769-P, HepG2 and NCI-H1563) and cell cycle analysis were performed. Acute toxicity and cardiotoxicity were also evaluated in the zebrafish model. The tested compounds (1a, 1b) showed cytotoxic activity, with the greatest selectivity noted against the glioblastoma multiforme cell line (LN229). However, compound 1b showed stronger selective activity than 1a. Both of compounds were shown to significantly affect the M phase of the cell cycle. Whereas, the conducted toxicological examination of newly synthesized thiosemicarbazide derivates showed, that direct exposition of Danio rerio embryos to compound 1a, but not 1b, causes a concentration-dependent increase in developmental malformations, indicating possible teratogenic effects.

Abstract
A series of N-Substituted 2-(benzenosulfonyl)-1-carbotioamide derivatives (WZ1-WZ4) were synthesized and characterized using spectral methods. A comprehensive activity study was performed for each compound. All compounds were tested for antibacterial activity. Moreover, in silico studies were carried out to determine the anticancer potential of the designed WZ1-WZ4 ligands. Based on molecular docking, aldehyde dehydrogenase was selected as a molecular target. The obtained data were compared with experimental data in vitro tests. Novel hybrids of the thiosemicarbazide scaffold and sulfonyl groups may have promising anticancer activity via the aldehyde dehydrogenase pathway. The best candidate for further studies appears to be WZ2, due to its superior selectivity in comparison to the other tested compounds.

Abstract
Two biologically active adamantane-linked hydrazine-1-carbothioamide derivatives, namely 2-(adamantane-1-carbonyl)-N-(tert-butyl)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide) 1 and 2-(adamantane-1-carbonyl)-N-cyclohexylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide 2, have been synthesized. X-ray analysis was conducted to study the effect of the t-butyl and cyclohexyl moieties on the intermolecular interactions and conformation of the molecules in the solid state. X-ray analysis reveals that compound 1 exhibits folded conformation, whereas compound 2 adopts extended conformation. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the contributions of the major intercontacts involved in the stabilization of the crystal structures do not change much as a result of the t-butyl and cyclohexyl moieties. However, the presence and absence of these contacts is revealed by the 2D-fingerprint plots. The CLP-Pixel method was used to identify the energetically significant molecular dimers. These dimers are stabilized by different types of intermolecular interactions such as N-H···S, N-H···O, C-H···S, C-H···O, H-H bonding and C-H···π interactions. The strength of these interactions was quantified by using the QTAIM approach. The results suggest that N-H···O interaction is found to be stronger among other interactions. The in vitro assay suggests that both compounds 1 and 2 exhibit urease inhibition potential, and these compounds also display moderate antiproliferative activities. Molecular docking analysis shows the key interaction between urease enzyme and title compounds.

Abstract
In order to predict the anti-gastric cancer effect of [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine derivatives (1,2,3-TPD), quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies were performed. Based on five descriptors selected from descriptors pool, four QSAR models were established by heuristic method (HM), random forest (RF), support vector machine with radial basis kernel function (RBF-SVM), and mix-kernel function support vector machine (MIX-SVM) including radial basis kernel and polynomial kernel function. Furthermore, the model built by RF explained the importance of the descriptors selected by HM. Compared with RBF-SVM, the MIX-SVM enhanced the generalization and learning ability of the constructed model simultaneously and the multi parameters optimization problem in this method was also solved by particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with very low complexity and fast convergence. Besides, leave-one-out cross validation (LOO-CV) was adopted to test the robustness of the models and Q2 was used to describe the results. And the MIX-SVM model showed the best prediction ability and strongest model robustness: R2 = 0.927, Q2 = 0.916, MSE = 0.027 for the training set and R2 = 0.946, Q2 = 0.913, MSE = 0.023 for the test set. This study reveals five key descriptors of 1,2,3-TPD and will provide help to screen out efficient and novel drugs in the future.

Abstract
Cancer has emerged as one of the leading causes of deaths globally partly due to the steady rise in anticancer drug resistance. Pyrimidine and pyrimidine-fused heterocycles are some of the privileged scaffolds in medicine, as they possess diverse biological properties. Pyrimidines containing azole nucleus possesses inestimable anticancer potency and has enormous potential to conduct the regulation of cellular pathways for selective anticancer activity. The present review outlines the molecular structure of pyrimidine-fused azoles with significant anticancer activity. The structure activity relationship and molecular docking studies have also been discussed. The current review is the first complete compilation of significant literature on the proposed topic from 2016 to 2020. The information contained in this review offers a useful insight to chemists in the design of new and potent anticancer azole-pyrimidine analogues.

Lung cancer is the most common malignancy and leads to around one-quarter of all cancer deaths. Great advances have been achieved in the treatment of lung cancer with novel anticancer agents and improved technology. However, morbidity and mortality rates remain extremely high, calling for an urgent need to develop novel anti-lung cancer agents. 1,2,3-Triazole could be readily interact with diverse enzymes and receptors in organisms through weak interaction. 1,2,3-Triazole can not only be acted as a linker to tether different pharmacophores but also serve as a pharmacophore. This review aims to summarize the recent advances in 1,2,3-triazole-containing compounds with anti-lung cancer potential, and their structure-activity relationship (SAR) together with mechanisms of action is also discussed to pave the way for the further rational development of novel anti-lung cancer candidates.

Abstract
Based on the recent observation that the antiplatelet agent ticagrelor and one of its metabolite exert bactericidal activity against gram-positive bacteria, a series of 1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines structurally related to ticagrelor were synthesized and examined as putative antiplatelet and antibacterial agents. The aim was to assess the possibility of dissociating the two biological properties and to find novel 1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines expressing antiplatelet activity and devoid of in vitro antibacterial activity. The new compounds synthesized were known metabolites of ticagrelor as well as structurally simplified analogues. Some of them were found to express antiplatelet activity and to lose the antibacterial activity, supporting the view that the two activities were not necessarily linked.

Abstract
In this paper, based on molecular hybridization, a series of [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine derivatives containing hydrazine was synthesized and their antiproliferative activities against 5 cancer cell lines (MGC-803, PC3, PC9, EC9706 and SMMC-7721) were evaluated. We found that most of them exhibited obvious growth inhibition effects on these tested cancer cells, especially compound 34 on PC3 cells (IC50 = 26.25 ± 0.28 nM). Meanwhile, compound 34 displayed best selectivity on PC3, compared with the other cancer cell lines, as well as excellent selectivity towards normal cell lines (Het-1A, L02 and GES-1). Further investigations demonstrated that 34 could significantly inhibit PC3 cells' colony formation, increase cellular ROS content, suppress EGFR expression and induce apoptosis. Our findings indicate that 34 may serve as a novel lead compound for the discovery of more triazolopyrimidine derivatives with improved anticancer potency and selectivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since brain neurotransmitter levels are associated with the pathology of various neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson and Alzheimer, monoamineoxidase (MAO) plays a critical role in balancing these neurotransmitters in the brain. MAO isoforms appear as promising drug targets for the development of central nervous system agents. Pyridazinones have a broad array of biological activities. Here, six pyridazinone derivatives were synthesized and their human monoamine oxidase inhibitory activities were evaluated by molecular docking studies, in silico ADME prediction and in vitro biological screening tests. METHODS The compounds were synthesized by the reaction of different piperazine derivatives with 3 (2H)-pyridazinone ring and MAO-inhibitory effects were investigated. Docking studies were conducted with Maestro11.8 software. RESULTS Most of the synthesized compounds inhibited hMAO-B selectively except compound 4f. Compounds 4a-4e inhibited hMAO-B selectively and reversibly in a competitive mode. Compound 4b was found as the most potent (ki = 0.022 ± 0.001 µM) and selective (SI (Ki hMAO-A/hMAO-B) = 206.82) hMAO-B inhibitor in this series. The results of docking studies were found to be consistent with the results of the in vivo activity studies. Compounds 4a-4e were found to be non-toxic to HepG2 cells at 25 μM concentration. In silico calculations of ADME properties indicated that the compounds have good pharmacokinetic profiles. CONCLUSION It was concluded that 4b is possibly recommended as a promising nominee for the design and development of new pyridazinones which can be used in the treatment of neurological diseases.

Abstract
Gastric cancer as a dreaded disease which occurs in the digestive system of human being remain a threat to the medical world. Bioactivity of series of designed and synthesized molecular compounds containing triazole and pyrimidine moieties were subjected to quantum chemical calculations using B3LYP/6-31+G∗. The calculated molecular descriptors such as the EHOMO (eV), ELUMO (eV), band gap (eV), chemical hardness (η), global nucleophilicity, dipole moment (Debye), chemical potential, log P, molecular weight (amu) and Ovality. The descriptors that describe anti-gastric cancer activity of the studied compounds were used for QSAR analysis using SPSS and Gretl software packages for multiple linear regression (MLR), XLSTAT for partial least square (PLS) and MATLAB for artificial neural network (ANN). The methods (MLR, PLS, and ANN) were predictive. Nevertheless, ANN performed better than MLR and PLS. More so, molecular docking study was executed on the studied compounds and gastric cancer cell line (PDB ID:4oum); the docking studies showed that 2-(1-(2-(3-benzyl-5-(benzylthio)-3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)hydrazono)ethyl)phenol (A22) having the lowest binding affinity (-8.40 kcal/mol); this was correlated to the observed inhibitory activity of the compound against gastric cancer. Thus, it showed better inhibition than other studied compounds. The amino acid residues that were involved in stabilizing A22 in the active site of the 4oum are: VAL-9, ALA-10, THR-49, ASN-48, PRO-47 and TYR-46. Also, a good relationship was observed between the calculated binding affinity and the observed inhibition concentration (IC50).

Abstract
Anticancer agents are critical for the cancer treatment, but side effects and the drug resistance associated with the currently used anticancer agents create an urgent need to explore novel drugs with low side effects and high efficacy. 1,2,3-Triazole is privileged building block in the discovery of new anticancer agents, and some of its derivatives have already been applied in clinics or under clinical trials for fighting against cancers. Hybrid molecules occupy an important position in cancer control, and hybridization of 1,2,3-triazole framework with other anticancer pharmacophores may provide valuable therapeutic intervention for the treatment of cancer, especially drug-resistant cancer. This review emphasizes the recent advances in 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids with anticancer potential, covering articles published between 2015 and 2019, and the structure-activity relationships, together with mechanisms of action are also discussed.

Abstract
The 1,2,3-triazole ring is a major pharmacophore system among nitrogen-containing heterocycles. These five-membered heterocyclic motifs with three nitrogen heteroatoms can be prepared easily using 'click' chemistry with copper- or ruthenium-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions. Recently, the 'linker' property of 1,2,3-triazoles was demonstrated, and a novel class of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids and conjugates was synthesised and evaluated as lead compounds for diverse biological targets. These lead compounds have been demonstrated as anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-tubercular, antiviral, antidiabetic, antimalarial, anti-leishmanial, and neuroprotective agents. The present review summarises advances in lead compounds of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids, conjugates, and their related heterocycles in medicinal chemistry published in 2018. This review will be useful to scientists in research fields of organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, phytochemistry, and pharmacology.

Abstract
Herein, to develop a multi-target anticancer metal agent and achieve a "1 + 1 > 2" pharmaceutical effect, we rationally designed and synthesized five complexes (C1-C5) by synergistically exploiting the properties of Zn(ii) and a series of modified 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(thiosemicarbazone) ligands. By investigating the structure-activity relationships, we found that the binuclear Zn(ii) complex (C5) acts against human bladder cancer cells (T-24) with significant cytotoxicity. We subsequently determined the multiple anticancer mechanisms of C5 to T-24 cells, including inhibiting the activity of topoisomerase I (Topo I), blocking the cell cycle in the S phase, and inducing apoptosis and autophagy in T-24 cells. Furthermore, C5 inhibited the migration of T-24 cells and showed a significant cytostatic effect in the T-24 3D spheroid model.
