Novel Amide Functionalized Trifluoromethyl thieno[2,3-b]pyridine Derivatives: Anti-cancer Activity and Molecular Docking Studies

: Our primary research objective is to create and formulate small ring heterocycles with enhanced biological efficacy. Amide functionalized trifluoromethyl thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives as a series were prepared starting from reaction between 1,3 di-ketone and thiocyanoacetamide and obtained pyridine 3. Compound 3 reacts with bromoethyl acetate and obtained compound 4, further compound 4 on reaction with diverse substituted aromatic and aliphatic amines to get amide derivatives 5a-d, 6a-d and 7a-h. All the final compounds evaluated for anti cancer activity against four human cancer cell lines such as ‘HeLa - Cervical cancer (CCL-2); COLO 205- Colon cancer (CCL- 222); HepG2 - Liver cancer (HB-8065); MCF7 - Breast cancer (HTB-22)’ and promising compounds 7d, 7e and 7f have been identified. For compounds 7d, 7e and 7f molecular docking interactions have been identified. background: heterocyclic chemistry method: Synthesis result: we synthesized amide functionalized thienopyridone derivates and evaluated for anticancer activity four human cancer cell lines
