Synthesis and biological studies of new piperidino-1,2,3-triazole hybrids with 3-aryl isoxazole side chains

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2021 Nov 15:52:128390. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2021.128390. Epub 2021 Sep 30.

Abstract

A small library of new piperidine-triazole hybrids with 3-aryl isoxazole side chains has been designed and synthesized. Their cytotoxicity against a panel of seven cancer cell lines has been established. For the most promising compound, an IC50 value of 3.8 μM on PUMA/Bcl-xL interaction in live cancer cells was established through BRET analysis. A rationale was proposed for these results through complete molecular modelling studies.
