Description
Summary:A new series of 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl thiazole pyrimidines has been synthesized and biologically evaluated for its in vitro anticancer activity. Compounds <b>4a</b>, <b>4b</b>, and <b>4h</b> with substituted piperazine showed the best antiproliferative activity. In the NCI-60 cell line screening, compound <b>4b</b> showed promising cytostatic activity against multiple cell lines. Notably, it elicited a GI value of 86.28% against the NSCL cancer cell line HOP-92 at a 10 μM dose. Compounds <b>4a</b> and <b>4h</b> at 10 μM showed promising GI values of 40.87% and 46.14% against HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma and SK-BR-3 breast cancer cell lines, respectively. ADME-Tox prediction of compounds <b>4a</b>, <b>4b,</b> and <b>4h</b> revealed their acceptable drug-likeness properties. In addition, compounds <b>4a</b>, <b>4b</b>, and <b>4h</b> showed a high probability of targeting kinase receptors via Molinspiration and Swiss TargetPrediction.
