| Summary: | 1,2,3-triazole pharmacophore is a widely recognized motif used for a variety of applications, including drug discovery, chemical biology, and materials science. We herein report the synthesis of a derivative of azidothymidine (AZT), which was combined with the 7-chloro quinoline scaffold through a 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole. The chemical structure of the new molecule was fully characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (<sup>1</sup>H-NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (<sup>13</sup>C-NMR), heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), correlation spectroscopy (<sup>1</sup>H-<sup>1</sup>H-COSY), ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Computational studies were used to predict the interaction of the synthesized compound with HIV reverse transcriptase, a target of relevance for developing new therapeutics against AIDS. The drug-likeness of the compound was also investigated by computing the physico-chemical properties that are important for the pharmacokinetic profile.
