Novel quinazolines bearing 1,3,4-thiadiazole-aryl urea derivative as anticancer agents : design, synthesis, molecular docking, DFT and bioactivity evaluations

© 2024. The Author(s)..

A novel series of 1-(5-((6-nitroquinazoline-4-yl)thio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-3-phenylurea derivatives 8 were designed and synthesized to evaluate their cytotoxic potencies. The structures of these obtained compounds were thoroughly characterized by IR, 1H, and 13C NMR, MASS spectroscopy and elemental analysis methods. Additionally, their in vitro anticancer activities were investigated using the MTT assay against A549 (human lung cancer), MDA-MB231 (human triple-negative breast cancer), and MCF7 (human hormone-dependent breast cancer). Etoposide was used as a reference marketed drug for comparison. Among the compounds tested, compounds 8b and 8c demonstrated acceptable antiproliferative activity, particularly against MCF7 cells. Considering the potential VEGFR-2 inhibitor potency of these compounds, a molecular docking study was performed for the most potent compound, 8c, to determine its probable interactions. Furthermore, computational investigations, including molecular dynamics, frontier molecular orbital analysis, Fukui reactivity descriptor, electrostatic potential surface, and in silico ADME evaluation for all compounds were performed to illustrate the structure-activity relationship (SAR).
