Synthesis, computational study and biological evaluation of 9-acridinyl and 1-coumarinyl-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl derivatives as topoisomerase II inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Topoisomerase (IIB) inhibitors have been involved in the therapies of tumour progression and have become a major focus for the development of anticancer agents. New three-component hybridised ligands, 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles (8-17), were synthesised via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 9-azidoacridine/3-azidocoumarin with N/O-propargyl small molecules under click reaction conditions. Cancer cell growth inhibition of the synthesised triazoles was tested against human cell-lines in the NCI-60-cell-panel, and the most active compounds tested against topoisomerase (IIB)-enzymes. The acridinyl ligands (8-10) revealed 60-97% cell growth inhibition in six cancer cell-panels. Cell-cycle analysis of MCF7 and DU-145 cells treated with the active acridinyl
