Abstract
Background: A series of symmetrical 1,4-disubstituted bis-1,2,3-triazoles was prepared by double copper catalyzed Azide-alkyne Cycloaddition (CuAAC) from aliphatic bis-azides and a tetraethylene glycol bis-azide derivative. The eighteen novel compounds were evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against two human tumor cell lines: Human breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB 231) and ovarian adenocarcinoma (TOV-21G).
Results and Conclusion: The results of colorimetric MTT assays showed that compounds 4j and 4q exhibited a better selectivity index and cell viability comparable with the standard drug doxorubicin. These compounds induced apoptosis in both tested cell lines, as assessed by BrdU assay. The results suggest that these structurally simple compounds may be promising prototypes for antitumoral agents.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
