Rational design, synthesis and biological evaluation 1,2,3-triazole aryl attached (4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)thiazole derivatives as anticancer agents

[Display omitted] A new library of 1,2,3-triazole aryl-attached (4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) thiazoles (11a–j) has been designed and synthesized and its structures were characterized by 1H NMR 13C NMR and mass spectral data. Further, these derivatives (11a-j) were evaluated for their anticancer activity against four human cancer cell lines, including PC3 (prostate cancer), A549 (lung cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer) and A2780 (ovarian cancer) by employing the MTT method, and the obtained results were compared with etoposide. Among all the examined compounds, 11a, 11b, 11c, 11i and 11j displayed the most promising activity. Particularly, two compounds 11a and 11b possessed good activity.
