Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking Studies of Novel 1,2,3-Triazole Tagged 5-[(1H-Indol-3-yl)methylene]pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)trione Derivatives

Abstract

Novel 5-{(1-[(1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl]-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene}pyrimidine-2,4,6-(1H,3H,5H)trione derivatives (5a–5k) were synthesized by the click reaction. All compounds 5a–5k were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR and Mass spectra and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity against cervical cancer cell lines. Among all, compound 5e (IC₅₀ = 6.76 μM), shown high inhibitory activity. Docking analysis of all the compounds with the Lipid kinase PI3K-α revealed that the compound 5e fitted well in the active site pocket, showing the best docking score (LibDock) of 123.274.
