Abstract
The process of creating a series of 3-amino-1-aryl-8-methoxy-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitriles (4a-q) involved reacting 6-methoxynaphthalen-2-ol (1), the appropriate aromatic aldehydes (2a-q), and malononitrile (3) in an absolute ethanol/piperidine solution under Ultrasonic irradiation. However, the attempt to create 3-amino-1-aryl-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2,8-dicarbonitrile (6a, d, e) was unsuccessful when 6-cyanonaphthalen-2-ol (5) was stirred at room temperature, reflux, Microwave irradiation, or Ultrasonic irradiation. In addition, the target molecules were screened against Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia, as well as a panel of three human cancer cells lines such as MCF-7, HCT-116, HepG-2 and two normal cell lines HFL-1 and WI-38. The obtained results confirmed that the pyran derivatives (4 m, i, k) which have a double chlorine at 3,4/2,3/2,5-positions, a single halogen atom 3-Cl/4-Br (4c, e) and a double bromine at 3,5-positions with a single methoxy group at 2-position (4n), of phenyl ring, and, to a lesser extent, other pyran derivatives with monoihalogenated (4a, b, d, f), dihalogenated (4 g, h, j, l) or trisubstituent phenyl ring (4o, p, q). Furthermore, compounds 4b-e, g, i, j, m, and n showed negligible activity against the two normal cell lines, HFL-1 and WI-38. Moreover, compound 4 g exhibited the strongest antimicrobial activity among the other pyran derivatives (4a-f, g-q) when compared to Ciprofloxacin. The MIC was assessed and screened for compound 4 g, revealing bactericidal effects. Lastly, SAR and molecular docking were studied.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) imparts multi-drug resistance (MDR) on the cancers cell and malignant tumor clinical therapeutics. We report a class of newly designed and synthesized oxygen-heterocyclic-based pyran analogues (4a-l) bearing different aryl/hetaryl-substituted at the 1-postion were synthesized, aiming to impede the P-gp function. These compounds (4a-l) have been tested against cancerous PC-3, SKOV-3, HeLa, and MCF-7/ADR cell lines as well as non-cancerous HFL-1 and WI-38 cell lines to determine their anti-proliferative potency.The findings demonstrated the superior potency of 4a-c with 4-F, 2-Cl, and 3-Cl derivatives and 4h,g with 4-NO2, 4-MeO derivatives against PC-3, SKOV-3, HeLa, and MCF-7/ADR cell lines.Compounds 4a-c were tested for P-gp inhibition and demonstrated significant vigour against MCF-7/ADR cells with IC50 = 5.0-10.7 μM. The Rho123 accumulation assay showed that compounds 4a-c adequately inhibited P-gp function, as predicted. Furthermore, 4a or 4b administration resulted in MCF-7/ADR cell accumulation in the S phase, while compound 4c induced apoptosis by causing cell cycle arrest at G2/M. The molecular docking was applied to understand the likely modes of action and guide us in the rational design of more potent analogs. The investigate derivatives showed their good binding potential for p-gp active site with excellent docking scores and interactions. Finally, the majority of investigated derivatives 4a-c derivatives showed high oral bioavailability, but they did not cross the blood-brain barrier. These results suggest that they have favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Therefore, these compounds could serve as leads for designing more potent and stable drugs in the future.

Abstract
In the present study, we isolated a potent endophytic fungus from the roots of Withania somnifera. The endophytic fungal strain was authenticated as Penicillium ramusculum SVWS3 based on morphological and molecular sequencing using four gene data and phylogenetic analyses. In vitro cytotoxicity studies unveiled the remarkable cytotoxic potential of the crude extract derived from P. ramusculum, exhibiting dose-dependent effects on MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7 cells. At a concentration of 100 µg/mL, the crude extract resulted in cell viability of 29.78% for MDA-MB-468 cells and 14.61% for MCF-7 cells. The IC50 values were calculated as 62.83 ± 0.93 µg/mL and 17.23 ± 1.43 µg/mL, respectively for MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7 cells. Caspase activation assay established the underlying mechanism of the crude extract depicting the activation of caspases 3 and 7, indicating the induction of apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. Chemotaxonomic profiling elucidated the ability of P. ramusculum to synthesize a diverse array of bioactive compounds, including Fasoracetam, Tryprostatin B, Odorinol, Thyronine, Brevianamide F, Proglumide, Perlolyrine, Tyrphostin B48, Baptifoline, etc. Molecular docking studies inferred that Baptifoline, Brevianamide F, Odorinol, Perlolyrine, Thyronine, Tryphostin B48, and Tryprostatin B were the lead compounds that could effectively interact with the five selected target receptors of breast cancer, further surpassing the positive controls analyzed. Pharmacokinetic profiling revealed that Baptifoline, Odorinol, and Thyronine depicted an excellent therapeutic profile of druggability. These findings collectively substantiate the anticancer activity of bioactive metabolites synthesized by P. ramusculum SVWS3. Hence, the endophytic P. ramusculum SVWS3 can be an authentic source for developing novel chemotherapeutic drug formulations.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) poses a serious burden to men. Interferon-β (IFN-β) is implicated in cancer cell growth. This study hence explored the regulation of IFN-β-modified human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-Exos) in PCa cells. In vitro-cultured hUCMSCs were transfected with pcDNA3.1-IFN-β plasmid or IFN-β siRNA. hUCMSC-Exos were extracted by ultracentrifugation and identified. PCa cells (PC3 and LNCap) were treated with Exos. Cellular internalization of Exos by cells was detected by uptake assay. Cell proliferation, cycle, and apoptosis were evaluated by CCK-8, EdU staining, and flow cytometry. Levels of cell cycle-related proteins (cyclin D/cyclin E) were determined by Western blot. The effect of IFN-β-modified hUCMSC-Exos in vivo was analyzed. IFN-β-modified hUCMSC-Exos (Exooe-IFN-β or Exosi-IFN-β) were successfully isolated. IFN-β was encapsulated in Exos, and PCa cells could uptake Exos. After treating with Exooe-IFN-β, PCa cell proliferation was impeded, the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase, cyclin D/cyclin E levels, and cell apoptotic rate were elevated, while cells treated with Exooe-IFN-β exhibited contrary trends. IFN-β-modified hUCMSC-Exos reduced PCa tumor size and weight in vivo. Conjointly, IFN-β-modified hUCMSC-Exos suppress PCa cell proliferation and facilitate apoptosis.

Abstract
A series of 1H-benzo[f]chromene moieties (4a-z) were synthesised under Ultrasonic irradiation and confirmed with spectral analyses. Derivative 4i solely possessed an X-ray single crystal. The anti-proliferative efficacy of the desired molecules has been explored against three cancer cells: MCF-7, HCT-116, and HepG-2 with the cytotoxically active derivatives screened against MCF-7/ADR and normal cells HFL-1 and WI-38. Furthermore, compounds 4b-d, 4k, 4n, 4q, and 4w, which possessed good potency against MCF-7/ADR, were tested as permeability glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein [P-gp]) expression inhibitors. The attained data confirmed that 4b-d, 4q, and 4w exhibited strong expression inhibition against the P-gp alongside its cytotoxic effect on MCF-7/ADR. The western blot results and Rho123 accumulation assays showed that compounds 4b-d, 4q, and 4w effectively inhibited the P-gp expression and efflux function. Meanwhile, 4b-d, 4q, and 4w induced apoptosis and accumulation of the treated MCF-7/ADR cells in the G1 phase and 4k and 4n in the S phase of the cell cycle.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15026. [PMID: 37834474 PMCID: PMC10573254 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241915026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine is considered a milestone scaffold known to possess various biological activities such as antiparasitic, antifungal, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative activities. In addition, the urgent need for selective and potent novel anticancer agents represents a major route in the drug discovery process. Herein, new aryl analogs were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer effects on a panel of cancer cell lines: MCF-7, HCT116, and HePG-2. Some of these compounds showed potent cytotoxicity, with variable degrees of potency and cell line selectivity in antiproliferative assays with low resistance. As the analogs carry the pyrazolopyrimidine scaffold, which looks structurally very similar to tyrosine and receptor kinase inhibitors, the potent compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on three essential cancer targets: EGFRWT, EGFRT790M, VGFR2, and Top-II. The data obtained revealed that most of these compounds were potent, with variable degrees of target selectivity and dual EGFR/VGFR2 inhibitors at the IC50 value range, i.e., 0.3-24 µM. Among these, compound 5i was the most potent non-selective dual EGFR/VGFR2 inhibitor, with inhibitory concentrations of 0.3 and 7.60 µM, respectively. When 5i was tested in an MCF-7 model, it effectively inhibited tumor growth, strongly induced cancer cell apoptosis, inhibited cell migration, and suppressed cell cycle progression leading to DNA fragmentation. Molecular docking studies were performed to explore the binding mode and mechanism of such compounds on protein targets and mapped with reference ligands. The results of our studies indicate that the newly discovered phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-based multitarget inhibitors have significant potential for anticancer treatment.

Abstract
A one-pot, three-component reaction of 6-bromo-2-naphthol (1), p-chlorobenzaldehyde (2) and
malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate (3) in ethanol/piperidine under reflux was performed to afford
4H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrano-3-carbonitrile (4a) and ethyl 4H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrano-3-carboxylate (4b)
derivatives, respectively. The structure of these compounds was determined using IR, 1H NMR, 13C
NMR, mass spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectra. The molecular geometry of compounds 4a and 4b was
determined at the B3LYP/631+G(d) level. The geometric optimization was performed on two tautomers
and two conformers. Tautomers were separated by about 7.942 kcal/mol, while rotational conformers
were separated by just 0.511 kcal/mol. The global electrophilicity, hardness, softness and local
condensed Fukui functions were calculated and considered as molecular reactivity descriptors, moreover
the frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) were also calculated.

Abstract
β-Enaminonitriles bearing 9-hydroxy-1H-benzo[f]chromene moiety was synthesized. The targeted compounds were evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity against three human tumor cell lines, PC-3, SKOV-3 and HeLa, and the active cytotoxic compounds were further evaluated against cancer cells, MCF-7/ADR, and two normal cell lines, HFL-1 and WI-38. Few compounds were assigned to be the most potent derivatives against PC-3, SKOV-3 and HeLa cell lines in comparison with Vinblastine and Doxorubicin. Several compounds possessed a relatively good potency against MCF-7/ADR cells as compared with Doxorubicin and were tested as a P-gp inhibitor. Moreover, the halogenated substituents, 2,4-F2, 2,3-Cl2, 2,5-Cl2 and 3,4-Cl2; have good potency against P-gp-mediated MDR in MCF-7/ADR as compared with Doxorubicin. Meanwhile, Rho123 accumulation assays revealed that few compounds effectively inhibited P-pg and efflux function. In addition, certain derivatives induced apoptosis and an accumulation of the treated MCF-7/ADR cells in the G1, S and G1/S phases.

Abstract
Herein, a series of aryl-substituted derivatives of 3-amino-1-aryl-9-methoxy-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitriles (4a-4q) were designed and synthesized via reaction of 7-methoxy-2-naphthol with a mixture of appropriate aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile under microwave conditions. Among the tested benzochromene, the known compound 4e and four novel compounds 4f, 4j, 4k, 4m exhibited the highest cytotoxicity towards a panel of six human cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, A549, HeLa, MIA PaCa-2, RPMI 7951, and PC-3. Compound 4j with 2,4-dichloro substitution on the pendant phenyl ring exhibited the highest broad-spectrum cytotoxicity towards all tested cancer cell lines. Compounds 4e, 4f, 4j, 4k, 4m were further selected to study the mechanism of cellular toxicity using the triple-negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Compounds 4e, 4f, 4j, 4k, 4m induced accumulation of the treated MDA-MB-231 cells in the S phase and 4k additionally in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Compounds 4e, 4f, 4j, 4k, 4m induced dissipation of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and activation of caspase 3/7 in MDA-MB-231 cells with 4j being one of the most active. In an in vivo model, compound 4j and less efficiently 4e and 4f inhibited growth and proliferation and triggered DNA fragmentation in MDA-MB-231 xenografts grown on chick chorioallantoic membranes. SAR study confirmed that the 2,4-dichloro substitution pattern on the pendant phenyl ring enhanced the cytotoxic activity of benzochromene.

Abstract
The rationale behind drug design is the strategic utilization of heterocyclic fragments with specific physicochemical properties to form molecular targeted agents. Among the heterocyclic molecules, pyrimidine has proved to be a privileged pharmacophore for various biological cancer targets. The anti-cancer potential of small molecules with fused and substituted pyrimidines can be enhanced through bioisosteric replacements and altering their ADME parameters. Although several small molecules are used in cancer chemotherapy, oncology therapeutics has various limitations, especially in their routes of administration and their concurrent side effects. Such pernicious effects may be overcome, via selective biological targeting. In this review, the biological targets, to inhibit cancer, have been discussed. The structural activity relationship of fused and substituted pyrimidines was studied. Eco-friendly synthetic approaches for pyrimidine derivatives have also been discussed. This review will give an insight to scientists and researchers of medicinal chemistry discipline to design small molecules having a pyrimidine scaffold with high anti-cancer potential.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the cytotoxic activity of indigenous Rosemary and Oregano freeze-dried extracts upon MG-63 osteosarcoma human cell line. We have determined the influence of analyzed dry extracts on cell morphology, cell survival and cell proliferation. The evaluation of dry extracts effect upon cell proliferation and viability was assessed by means of 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. For cytotoxicity evaluation, Live & Dead and lactate dehydrogenase assays have been used. To further investigate the potential anticancer effect, we have studied the influence of dry extracts upon cells, by means of caspase-3/7 assay and proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression. Cells were incubated with extracts in the following concentration range (100–700 μg/mL) for 24 hours. According to our results, both dry extracts have shown cytotoxic effects by means of all used methods. Bone osteosarcoma cells viability significantly decreased with increasing concentration of analyzed extracts (beyond 300 μg/mL for Rosemary dry extract and only at 700 μg/mL for Oregano dry extract). According to our results, apoptosis is one of the main mechanisms involved in the cytotoxic properties of analyzed extracts. Moreover, Rosemary extract has also shown decreased expression of PCNA, when compared to control (untreated cells). Both extracts were standardized in phenolic compounds (being a rich source of flavones and phenolcarboxylic acids), so we assume that these are the main constituents involved in the cytotoxic effect. Still, further preclinical studies are needed to confirm the antitumor properties and to go deeply in the molecular mechanisms involved.

Abstract
The high biological activity of the chromene compounds coupled with the intriguing optical features of azo chromophores prompted our desire to construct novel derivatives of chromene incorporating azo moieties 4a-l, which have been prepared via a three-component reaction of 1-naphthalenol-4-[(4-ethoxyphenyl) azo], 1, with the benzaldehyde derivatives and malononitrile. The structural identities of the azo-chromene 4a-l were confirmed on the basis of their spectral data and elemental analysis, and a UV-visible study was performed in a Dimethylformamide (DMF) solution for these molecules. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity was investigated against four human pathogens (Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria) and four fungi, employing an agar well diffusion method, with their minimum inhibitory concentrations being reported. Molecules 4a, 4g, and 4h were discovered to be more efficacious against Syncephalastrum racemosum (RCMB 05922) in comparison to the reference drugs, while compounds 4b and 4h demonstrated the highest inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) in evaluation against the reference drugs. Moreover, their cytotoxicity was assessed against three different human cell lines, including human colon carcinoma (HCT-116), human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2), and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) with a selection of molecules illustrating potency against the HCT-116 and MCF-7 cell lines. Furthermore, the molecular modeling results depicted the binding interactions of the synthesized compounds 3b and 3h in the active site of the E. coli DNA gyrase B enzyme with a clear SAR (structure-activity relationship) analysis. Lastly, the density functional theory's (DFTs) theoretical calculations were performed to quantify the energy levels of the Frontier Molecular Orbitals (FMOs) and their energy gaps, dipole moments, and molecular electrostatic potentials. These data were utilized in the chemical descriptor estimations to confirm the biological activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is a life-threatening group of diseases and universally, the second main cause of death. The design and development of new scaffolds targeting selective cancer cells are considered a promising goal for cancer treatment. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE Chalcone derivatives; 6-(3-aryl-2-propenoyl)-2(3H)-benzoxazolone, were previously prepared and evaluated against the oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma cell line, HSC-2, and were reported to have remarkably high tumor selectivity. The aim of this study was to further investigate the anticancer activities of the chalcone derivatives against human colon cancer cells with a possible elucidation of their mechanism of action. METHODS Computational studies were conducted to explore the potential interaction of the synthesized molecules with the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinaseα (PI3Kα). Biological evaluation of the antiproliferative activities associated with compounds 1-23 was carried out against the colon cancer cell line, HCT116. Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was measured to study necrosis, while the caspase-3 activation and DNA measurements were used to evaluate apoptosis in the treated cells. RESULTS Glide studies against PI3Kα kinase domain demonstrated that the 6-(3-aryl-2-propenoyl)-2(3H)- benzoxazolone scaffold forms H-bond with K802, Y836, E849, V851, N853, Q859, and D933, and it fits the fingerprint of PI3Kα active inhibitors. Biological evaluation of the reported compounds in HCT116 cell line confirmed that the series inhibited PI3Kα activity and induced apoptosis via activation of caspase-3 and reduction of DNA content. CONCLUSION The recently developed compounds might be employed as lead structures for the design of new antitumor drugs targeting PI3Kα.

Abstract
The target compound 3-amino-1-(2,5-d ichlorophenyl)-8-methoxy-1H-benzo[f]-chromene-2-carbonitrile (4) was synthesized via a reaction of 6-methoxynaphthalen-2-ol (1), 2,5-dichlorobenzaldehyde (2), and malononitrile (3) in ethanolic piperidine solution under microwave irradiation. The newly synthesized β-enaminonitrile was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction data. Its cytotoxic activity was evaluated against three different human cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, A549, and MIA PaCa-2 in comparison to the positive controls etoposide and camptothecin employing the XTT cell viability assay. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surface was utilized to visualize the reliability of the crystal package. The obtained results confirmed that the tested molecule revealed promising cytotoxic activities against the three cancer cell lines. Furthermore, theoretical calculations (DFT) were carried out with the Becke3-Lee-Yang-parr (B3LYP) level using 6-311++G(d,p) basis. The optimization geometry for molecular structures was in agreement with the X-ray structure data. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the studied system was discussed. The intermolecular-interactions were studied through analysis of the topological-electron-density(r) using the QTAIM and NCI methods. The novel compound exhibited favorable ADMET properties and its molecular modeling analysis showed strong interaction with DNA methyltransferase 1.

Abstract
7H-Benzo[7,8]chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-9(8H)-amine (6a,b) have been synthesized via hydrazinolysis of the imidates (5a,b). Polysubstituted chromenotriazolopyrimidine (7a-j), (12a,b) and Schiff base (8a,b) derivatives have also been prepared. The new heterocyclic derivatives were affirmed by spectral data. The target compounds have been screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity. Compounds 6a,b and 7a-c, g,h displayed the most favorable antimicrobial activities in resemblance to the reference antimicrobial agents by IZ range over 24 mm. In addition, MIC, MBC and MFC were also tested and screen for most active compound 6a by 6.25 µg/mL showing bactericidal effect. SAR study revealed that the antimicrobial vitality of the target compounds was safely influenced by the lipophilicity substituents and the calculated log P value. The potent compounds were subjected into in vitro enzyme screening (14α-Demethylase and DNA Gyrase) against both interesting targets and showed good inhibitory profile. Molecular modeling analyses were introduced and discussed focusing on the docking of active compounds into two essential targets, and their ADMET properties were studied.

Abstract
2H/4H-chromene (2H/4H-ch) is an important class of heterocyclic compounds with versatile biological profiles, a simple structure, and mild adverse effects. Researchers discovered several routes for the synthesis of a variety of 2H/4H-ch analogs that exhibited unusual activities by multiple mechanisms. The direct assessment of activities with the parent 2H/4H-ch derivative enables an orderly analysis of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) among the series. Additionally, 2H/4H-ch have numerous exciting biological activities, such as anticancer, anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, anticholinesterase, antituberculosis, and antidiabetic activities. This review is consequently an endeavor to highlight the diverse synthetic strategies, synthetic mechanism, various biological profiles, and SARs regarding the bioactive heterocycle, 2H/4H-ch. The presented scaffold work compiled in this article will be helpful to the scientific community for designing and developing potent leads of 2H/4H-ch analogs for their promising biological activities.

Synthesis, anticancer evaluation and molecular docking studies of new heterocycles linked to sulfonamide moiety as novel human topoisomerase types I and II poisons. Bioorg Chem 2020; 98:103725. [PMID: 32199303 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2020.103725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2019] [Revised: 02/16/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
A series of heterocyclic compounds with a sulfonamide moiety were synthesized from reaction of enaminone 4 with active methylene compounds, glycine derivatives, 1,4-benzoquinone, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, hydrazonyl halides and dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate. The newly synthesized sulfonamide derivatives were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy, elemental analysis and alternative synthetic routes. The reactions products were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against a panel of three different human cancerous cell lines, MCF-7 (breast), HepG-2 (liver) and HCT-116 (colon) and the results were deployed to derive the structure-activity relationships (SAR). Various test compounds were potent antiproliferative to cancerous cells; reaching very low micromolar levels, as in case of 21 which showed IC50 value of 6.2 μM against HepG-2 cell. In addition, treatment of cancerous cells with the synthesized compounds induced cell apoptosis and G2/M phase arrest evidenced by flow cytometric analysis. Furthermore, the activity of the synthesized compounds against TOP I and II were documented by DNA relaxation assays. Data revealed that compound 24 significantly interfered with TOP I- and II-mediated DNA relaxation, nicking and decatenation, with IC50 values 27.8 and 33.6 μM, respectively. Moreover, the molecular docking studies supported the results from enzymatic assays, where compound 24 was intercalated between nucleotides flanking the DNA cleavage site via pi-pi stacking and hydrophobic interactions. In conclusion, aromatic heterocycles linked to sulfonamides are excellent molecular frameworks amenable for optimization as dual TOP I and II poisons to control various human malignancies.
