Abstract
An efficient synthesis of continuously substituted quinoline derivatives via palladium-catalyzed intramolecular 6-endo imidoylative cyclization of o-alkenyl aryl isocyanides with (hetero)aryl halides or vinylic triflates has been developed. The reaction proceeds through the concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) mechanism by activation of a vinyl C-H bond with imidoylpalladium assisted by the carboxylate.

Abstract
This review highlights the use of functionalized organo-Li, -Mg and -Zn reagents for the construction and selective functionalization of 5- and 6-membered fused bicyclic heteroaromatics. Special attention is given to the discussion of advanced syntheses for the preparation of highly functionalized heteroaromatic scaffolds, including quinolines, naphthyridines, indoles, benzofurans, benzothiophenes, benzoxazoles, benzothiazoles, benzopyrimidines, anthranils, thienothiophenes, purine coumarins, chromones, quinolones and phthalazines and their fused heterocyclic derivatives. The organometallic reagents used for the desired functionalizations of these scaffolds are generally prepared in situ using the following methods: (i) through directed selective metalation reactions (DoM), (ii) by means of halogen/metal exchange reactions, (iii) through oxidative metal insertions (Li, Mg, Zn), and (iv) by transmetalation reactions (organo-Li and Mg transmetalations with ZnCl2 or ZnO(Piv)2). The resulting reactive organometallic reagents allow a wide range of C-C, C-N and C-X cross-coupling reactions with different electrophiles, employing in particular Kumada or Negishi protocols among other transition metal (Pd, Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, etc.)-catalyzed processes. In addition, key developments concerning selective metalation techniques will be presented, which rely on the use of RLi, LDA and TMP metal bases. These methods are now widely employed in organic synthetic chemistry and have proven to be particularly valuable for drug development programs in the pharmaceutical industry. New and improved protocols have resulted in many Li, Mg and Zn organyls now being compatible with functionalized aryl, heteroaryl, alkenyl, alkynyl and alkyl compounds even in the presence of labile functional groups, making these reagents well-suited for C(sp2)-C(sp2), C(sp2)-C(sp) and C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-coupling reactions with fused heteroaryl halides. In addition, the use of some transition metal-catalyzed processes occasionally allows a reversed role of the reactants in cross-coupling reactions, providing alternative synthetic routes for the preparation of fused heteroaromatic-based bioactive drugs and natural products. In line with this, this article points to novel methods for the functionalization of bicyclic heteroaromatic scaffolds by organometallic reagents that have been published in the period 2010-2023.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds are of great interest in our daily lives. They are widely distributed in nature and are synthesized in laboratories. Heterocycles play an important role in the metabolism of all living cells, including vitamins and coenzyme precursors like thiamine and riboflavin. Furthermore, heterocyclic systems are essential building blocks for creating innovative materials with intriguing electrical, mechanical, and biological properties. Also, more than 85% of all biologically active chemical entities comprise a heterocycle. As a result, heterocycle synthesis piqued researchers' curiosity, and in recent decades, chemists have concentrated more on nitrogen-containing cyclic nuclei in structures. Quinoline and its derivatives exhibit several biological functions, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and antiasthmatic effects. In addition, over a hundred quinoline-based drugs are available to treat a variety of disorders. Because of its biological importance, researchers developed one-pot synthetic methods employing effective acid/base catalysts (Lewis acids, Brønsted acids, and ionic liquids), reagents, and transition-metal-based catalysts. These methods have some downsides, including longer reaction times, harsher reaction conditions, creation of byproducts, costly catalysts, use of hazardous solvents, an unacceptable economic yield, and catalyst recovery. Researchers' focus has switched to creating environmentally friendly and effective methods for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives as a result of these methodologic shortcomings. Because of its special qualities, the use of nanocatalysts or nanocomposites offers an option for the effective synthesis of quinolines. This review focuses on the published research articles on nanocatalysts to synthesize substituted quinoline derivatives. This review covers all contributions until May 2024, focusing on quinoline ring building and mechanistic issues. With the aid of this review, we anticipate that synthetic chemists will be able to develop more effective methods of synthesizing quinolines.

Abstract
Tracking carboxylesterases (CESs) through noninvasive and dynamic imaging is of great significance for diagnosing and treating CES-related metabolic diseases. Herein, three BODIPY-based fluorescent probes with a pyridine unit quaternarized via an acetoxybenzyl group were designed and synthesized to detect CESs based on the photoinduced electron transfer process. Notably, among these probes, BDPN2-CES exhibited a remarkable 182-fold fluorescence enhancement for CESs within 10 min. Moreover, BDPN2-CES successfully enabled real-time imaging of endogenous CES variations in living cells. Using BDPN2-CES, a visual high-throughput screening method for CES inhibitors was established, culminating in the discovery of an efficient inhibitor, WZU-13, sourced from a chemical library. These findings suggest that BDPN2-CES could provide a new avenue for diagnosing CES-related diseases, and WZU-13 emerges as a promising therapeutic candidate for CES-overexpression pathological processes.

Abstract
Combination therapy proven to be an effective therapeutic approach for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Currently, cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors are combined with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) or selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) as first-line therapy for advanced ER-positive breast cancer. Herein, a new family of quinoline scaffold SERDs was synthesized and evaluated in MCF-7 cells. Among them, compounds 18j and 24d exhibited remarkable MCF-7 inhibition, both alone and in combination with ribociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor), in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, compounds 18j and 24d effectively degraded ER and inhibited ER downstream signaling pathways. Interestingly, compounds 18j and 24d induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and triggered immunogenic cell death (ICD) via damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in MCF-7 cells. These findings highlight the immune-related and enhanced antiproliferative effects of oral SERDs in ER positive breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
A series of new unique acetylene derivatives of 8-hydroxy- and 8-methoxyquinoline- 5-sulfonamide 3a-f and 6a-f were prepared by reactions of 8-hydroxy- and 8-methoxyquinoline- 5-sulfonyl chlorides with acetylene derivatives of amine. A series of new hybrid systems containing quinoline and 1,2,3-triazole systems 7a-h were obtained by reactions of acetylene derivatives of quinoline-5-sulfonamide 6a-d with organic azides. The structures of the obtained compounds were confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and HR-MS spectrometry. The obtained quinoline derivatives 3a-f and 6a-f and 1,2,3-triazole derivatives 7a-h were tested for their anticancer and antimicrobial activity. Human amelanotic melanoma cells (C-32), human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-231), and human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549) were selected as tested cancer lines, while cytotoxicity was investigated on normal human dermal fibroblasts (HFF-1). All the compounds were also tested against reference strains Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and representatives of multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis. Only the acetylene derivatives of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonamide 3a-f were shown to be biologically active, and 8-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)quinoline-5-sulfonamide (3c) showed the highest activity against all three cancer lines and MRSA isolates. Its efficacies were comparable to those of cisplatin/doxorubicin and oxacillin/ciprofloxacin. In the non-cancer HFF-1 line, the compound showed no toxicity up to an IC50 of 100 µM. In additional tests, compound 3c decreased the expression of H3, increased the transcriptional activity of cell cycle regulators (P53 and P21 proteins), and altered the expression of BCL-2 and BAX genes in all cancer lines. The unsubstituted phenolic group at position 8 of the quinoline is the key structural fragment necessary for biological activity.

Abstract
A new series of 1-((1-(4-substituted benzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-2-(2-substituted quinolin-4-yl)propan-2-ol (9a-x) have been synthesized. The newly synthesized 1,2,3-triazolyl-quinolinyl-propan-2-ol (9a-x) derivatives were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv, E. coli, P. mirabilis, B. subtilis, and S. albus. Most of the compounds showed good to moderate antibacterial activity and all derivatives have shown excellent to good antitubercular activity with MIC 0.8-12.5 μg/mL. To know the plausible mode of action for antibacterial activity the docking study against DNA gyrase from M. tuberculosis and S. aureus was investigated. The compounds have shown significant docking scores in the range of -9.532 to -7.087 and -9.543 to -6.621 Kcal/mol with the DNA gyrase enzyme of S. aureus (PDB ID: 2XCT) and M. tuberculosis (PDB ID: 5BS8), respectively. Against the S. aureus and M. tuberculosis H37Rv strains, the compound 9 l showed good activity with MIC values of 62.5 and 3.33 μM. It also showed significant docking scores in both targets with -8.291 and -8.885 Kcal/mol, respectively. Molecular dynamics was studied to investigate the structural and dynamics transitions at the atomistic level in S. aureus DNA gyrase (2XCT) and M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase (5BS8). The results revealed that the residues in the active binding pockets of the S. aureus and M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase proteins that interacted with compound 9 l remained relatively consistent throughout the MD simulations and thus, reflected the conformation stability of the respective complexes. Thus, the significant antimicrobial activity of derivatives 9a-x recommended that these compounds could assist in the development of lead compounds to treat for bacterial infections.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Heterocyclic pharmacophores such as thiazole and quinoline rings have a significant role in medicinal chemistry. They are considered privileged structures since they constitute several Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs for cancer treatment. Herein, we report the synthesis, in silico evaluation of the ADMET profiles, and in vitro investigation of the anticancer activity of a series of novel thiazolyl-hydrazones based on the 8-quinoline (1a-c), 2-quinoline (2a-c), and 8-hydroxy-2-quinolyl moiety (3a-c). The panel of several human cancer cell lines and the nontumorigenic human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293 were used to evaluate the compound-mediated in vitro anticancer activities, leading to [2-(2-(quinolyl-8-ol-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)]-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-thiazole (3c) as the most promising compound. The study revealed that 3c blocks the cell-cycle progression of a human colon cancer cell line (HCT-116) in the S phase and induces DNA double-strand breaks. Also, our findings demonstrate that 3c accumulates in lysosomes, ultimately leading to the cell death of the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (Hep-G2) and HCT-116 cells, by the mechanism of autophagy inhibition.

Abstract
Among heterocyclic compounds, quinoline is one of the best ubiquitous heterocyclic rings for medicinal chemistry purposes. Quinoline appears to be a powerful chemical structure to develop new drug entities. The quinoline derivatives own a wide array of biological activities such as anticancer, antimalarial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-leishmanial, etc. Because of the wide spectrum of bioactivities, the scientific communities are still looking for more efficient synthetic routes to form quinoline derivatives. Therefore, the primary focus of this review is to provide a thorough and inclusive, updated report on quinoline analogs that may pave the way for more efficient drug development.

Abstract
In pursuance of our efforts to expand the scope of novel antileishmanial entities, a series of thirty-five quinoline-piperazine/pyrrolidine, and other heterocyclic amine derivatives were synthesized via a molecular hybridization approach and examined against intracellular amastigotes of luciferase-expressing Leishmania donovani. The preliminary in vitro screening suggests that twelve compounds in the series exhibited better inhibition against amastigote form with good IC50 values ranging from 2.09 to 8.89 μM and lesser cytotoxicity in contrast to the standard drug miltefosine (IC50 9.25 ± 0.17 μM). Based on the satisfactory selectivity index (SI), two compounds were tested for in vivo leishmanicidal efficacy against Leishmania donovani/golden hamster model. Compounds 33 and 46 have shown significant inhibition of 56.32%, and 49.29%, respectively, in vivo screening at a daily dose of 50 mg/kg for 5 days. The pharmacokinetic results confirmed that 33 and 46 have satisfactory IP exposure with adequate parameters. Collectively, Compound 33 was identified as the most significant potential lead that could be employed as a prototype for future optimizations.

Abstract
Cancer stands as a serious malady, posing substantial risks to human well-being and survival. This underscores the paramount necessity to explore and investigate novel antitumor medications. Nitrogen-containing compounds, especially those derived from natural sources, form a highly significant category of antitumor agents. Among these, antitumor agents with six-membered aromatic nitrogen heterocycles have consistently attracted the attention of chemists and pharmacologists. Accordingly, we present a comprehensive summary of synthetic strategies and clinical implications of these compounds in this review. This entails an in-depth analysis of synthesis pathways for pyridine, quinoline, pyrimidine, and quinazoline. Additionally, we explore the historical progression, targets, mechanisms of action, and clinical effectiveness of small molecule inhibitors possessing these structural features.

Abstract
Herein, a chemoselective condensation of 3-amino-2-cyclohexenones and cinnamaldehydes for switchable synthesis of dihydroquinolinones and hexahydroacridinediones was developed. Mechanism analysis showed that the formation of dihydroquinolinones involved trimolecular condensation and oxidative aromatization, while the formation of hexahydroacridinediones involved acid hydrolysis of enaminone and dehydration-aromatization. This strategy provides a convenient way to switch from the same substrates to produce two different quinolinone derivatives.

Abstract
Herein, upgraded chloroquine (CQ) derivatives capable of overcoming Plasmodium resistance and, at the same time, suppressing excessive immune response and risk of concurrent bacteremia were developed. Twelve new ferrocene-CQ hybrids tethered with a small azathia heterocycle (1,3-thiazolidin-4-one, 1,3-thiazinan-4-one, or 5-methyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one) were synthesized and fully characterized. All hybrids were evaluated for their in vitro antiplasmodial, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory activities. Additional assays were performed on selected hybrids to gain insights into their mode of action. Although only hybrid 4a was more potent than the parent drug toward CQ-resistant Dd2 Plasmodium falciparum strain, several other hybrids (such as 6b, 6c, and 6d) manifested substantially improved antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. Interesting structure-activity relationship data were obtained, hinting at future research for the development of new multitarget chemotherapies for malaria and other infectious diseases complicated by drug resistance, bacterial co-infection, and immune-driven pathology issues.

Abstract
Cu(II) complexes bearing NNO-donor Schiff base ligands (2a, b) have been synthesized and characterized. The single crystal X-ray analysis of the 2a complex revealed that a mononuclear and a dinuclear complex co-crystallize in the solid state. The electronic structures of the complexes are optimized by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The monomeric nature of 2a and 2b species is maintained in solution. Antioxidant activities of the ligands (1a, b) and Cu(II) complexes (2a, b) were determined by in vitro assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radicals (DPPH.) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals (ABTS+). Our results demonstrated that 2a showed better antioxidant activity. MTT assays were performed to assess the toxicity of ligands and Cu(II) complexes in V79 cells. The antiproliferative activity of compounds was tested against two human tumor cell lines: MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) and SW620 (colorectal carcinoma) and on MRC-5 (normal lung fibroblast). All compounds showed high cytotoxicity in the all-cell lines but showed no selectivity for tumor cell lines. Antiproliferative activity by clonogenic assay 2b showed a more significant inhibitory effect on the MCF-7 cell lines than on MRC-5. DNA damage for the 2b compound at 10 µM concentration was about three times higher in MCF-7 cells than in MRC-5 cells.

Abstract
With triethylamine as a vinylene source, a convenient protocol for the regioselective synthesis of β,γ-nonsubstituted 2-arylquinolines from aldehydes and arylamines has been accomplished. The deaminative cyclization is also extended to long-chain tertiary alkylamines, enabling diverse alkyl groups to be concurrently installed into the pyridine rings. This process demonstrates a new conversion pathway for the simultaneous dual C(sp3)-H bond functionalization of tertiary amines, wherein the transient acyclic enamines generated in situ undergo the Povarov reaction.

[PMID: 36678664 PMCID: PMC9867208 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15010034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Lipophilicity is one of the basic properties of a potential drug determining its solubility in non-polar solvents and, consequently, its ability to passively penetrate the cell membrane, as well as the occurrence of various pharmacokinetic processes, including adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Heterocyclic compounds containing a nitrogen atom play a significant role in the search for new drugs. In this study, lipophilicity as well as other physicochemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicity properties affecting the bioavailability of the quinolone-1,4-quinone hybrids are presented. Lipophilicity was determined experimentally as well as theoretically using various computer programs. The tested compounds showed low values of experimental lipophilicity and its relationship with the type of 1,4-quinone moiety. Introduction of the nitrogen atom reduced the lipophilicity depending on the position at the 5,8-quinolinedione moiety. The bioavailability of the tested compounds was determined in silico using the ADMET parameters. The obtained parameters showed that most of the hybrids can be used orally and do not exhibit neurotoxic effects. Similarity analysis was used to examine the relationship between the ADMET parameters and experimental lipophilicity. The ability of hybrids to interact with biological targets was characterized by global reactivity descriptors. The molecular docking study showed that the hybrids can inhibit the BCL-2 protein.

Abstract
In men, prostate cancer (PC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer, causing an estimated 375,000 deaths globally. Currently, existing therapies for the treatment of PC, notably metastatic cases, have limited efficacy due to drug resistance and problematic adverse effects. Therefore, it is imperative to discover and develop novel drugs for treating PC that are efficacious and do not produce intolerable adverse or toxic effects. Condensed quinolines are naturally occurring anticancer compounds. In this study, we determined the in vitro efficacy of IND-2 (4-chloro-2-methylpyrimido[1″,2″:1,5]pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolone) in the PC lines, PC-3 and DU-145. IND-2 significantly inhibited the proliferation of PC-3 and DU-145, with IC50 values of 3 µM and 3.5 µM, respectively. The incubation of PC-3 cells with 5 and 10 µM of IND-2 caused the loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential in PC-3 cells. Furthermore, IND-2, at 5 µM, increased the expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-7 and cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). The incubation of PC-3 cells with 5 µM of IND-2 significantly decreased the expression of the apoptotic protein, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2). Furthermore, 5 and 10 µM of IND-2 produced morphological changes in PC-3 cells characteristic of apoptosis. Interestingly, IND-2 (2.5, 5 and 10 µM) also induced mitotic catastrophe in PC-3 cells, characterized by the accumulation of multinuclei. The incubation of DU-145 cells with 1.25 and 5 μM of IND-2 significantly increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Finally, IND-2, at 10 μM, inhibited the catalytic activity of topoisomerase IIα. Overall, our findings suggest that IND-2 could be a potential lead compound for the development of more efficacious compounds for the treatment of PC.

Abstract
A series of novel 2,9-bis[(substituted-aminomethyl)]-4,7-phenyl-1,10-phenanthroline derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro against three protozoan parasites (Plasmodium falciparum, Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma brucei brucei). Pharmacological results showed antiprotozoal activity with IC50 values in the sub and μM range. In addition, the in vitro cytotoxicity of these original molecules was assessed with human HepG2 cells. The substituted diphenylphenanthroline 1l was identified as the most potent antimalarial derivative with a ratio of cytotoxic to antiparasitic activities of 505.7 against the P. falciparum CQ-resistant strain W2. Against the promastigote forms of L. donovani, the phenanthrolines 1h, 1j, 1n and 1o were the most active with IC50 from 2.52 to 4.50 μM. The phenanthroline derivative 1o was also identified as the most potent trypanosomal candidate with a selectivity index (SI) of 91 on T. brucei brucei strain. FRET melting and native mass spectrometry experiments evidenced that the nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives bind the telomeric G-quadruplexes of P. falciparum and Trypanosoma. Moreover, as the telomeres of the parasites P. falciparum and Trypanosoma could be considered to be possible targets of this kind of nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives, their potential ability to stabilize the parasitic telomeric G-quadruplexes have been determined through the FRET melting assay and by native mass spectrometry.

Abstract
We have developed a Diels Alder cycloaddition route toward 3-aroyl quinolines from enaminones and in situ generated aza-o-quinone methides. The reaction was found to be general with a range of substituted enaminones and aza-o-quinone methides, and we could validate the applicability of the methodology in gram scale. We also demonstrated a one-pot strategy toward 3-acyl quinolines starting from the corresponding aliphatic ketones. Finally, we utilized the 3-aroyl quinolines for synthesizing indeno[1,2-b]quinolinones via a Pd-catalyzed dual C-H activation approach.

Abstract
Quinoline derivatives have been reported to possess a wide range of pharmaceutical activities. Our group previously synthesized a series of quinoline compounds, in which compound 91b1 showed a significant anticancer effect. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anticancer activity of compound 91b1 in vitro and in vivo, and screen out its regulated target. A series of cancer cell lines and nontumor cell lines were treated with compound 91b1 by MTS cytotoxicity assay and cell-cycle assay. In vivo anticancer activity was evaluated by a xenografted model on nude mice. Target prediction of 91b1 was assessed by microarray assay and confirmed by pancancer analysis. Relative expression of the target gene Lumican was measured by qRT-PCR. 91b1 significantly reduced tumor size in the nude mice xenograft model. Lumican was downregulated after 91b1 treatment. Lumican was proven to increase tumorigenesis in vivo, as well as cancer cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in vitro. The results of this study suggest that the anticancer activity of compound 91b1 probably works through downregulating the gene Lumican.

Abstract
Hybrids 1,4-quinone with quinoline were obtained by connecting two active structures through an oxygen atom. This strategy allows to obtain new compounds with a high biological activity and suitable bioavailability. Newly synthesized compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic methods. The enzymatic assay used showed that these compounds were a suitable DT-diaphorase (NQO1) substrates as evidenced by increasing enzymatic conversion rates relative to that of streptonigrin. Hybrids were tested in vitro against a panel of human cell lines including melanoma, breast, and lung cancers. They showed also a high cytotoxic activity depending on the type of 1,4-quinone moiety and the applied tumor cell lines. It was found that cytotoxic activity of the studied hybrids was increasing against the cell lines with higher NQO1 protein level, such as breast (MCF-7 and T47D) and lung (A549) cancers. Selected hybrids were tested for the transcriptional activity of the gene encoding a proliferation marker (H3 histone), cell cycle regulators (p53 and p21) and the apoptosis pathway (BCL-2 and BAX). The molecular docking was used to examine the probable interaction between the hybrids and NQO1 protein.

Abstract
A series of quinoline-uracil hybrids (10a-l) has been rationalized and synthesized. The inhibitory activity against hCA isoforms I, II, IX, and XII was explored. Compounds 10a-l demonstrated powerful inhibitory activity against all tested hCA isoforms. Compound 10h displayed the best selectivity profile with good activity. Compound 10d displayed the best activity profile with minimal selectivity. Compound 10l emerged as the best congener considering both activity (IC50 = 140 and 190 nM for hCA IX and hCA XII, respectively) and selectivity (S.I. = 13.20 and 9.75 for II/IX, and II/XII, respectively). The most active hybrids were assayed for antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activities against MCF-7 and A549. In silico studies, molecular docking, physicochemical parameters, and ADMET analysis were performed to explain the acquired CA inhibitory action of all hybrids. A study of the structure-activity relationship revealed that bulky substituents at uracil N-1 were unfavored for activity while substituted quinoline and thiouracil were effective for selectivity.
