Abstract

A library of 21 novel chiral 1,2,3-triazole-based 2-azabicycloalkane conjugates was designed and synthesized using the copper(I)-catalyzed click reaction. The obtained hybrids were assessed for their antiproliferative potency against three selected human cancer cell lines: Hs294T (melanoma), MIA PaCa-2 (pancreas tumor) and NCI-H1581 (lung tumor). The majority of the synthesized compounds demonstrated moderate to potent activity, and some of them appeared more selective than cisplatin, with selectivity index exceeding 9.

Keywords: 2-azabicycloalkanes; CuAAC; antiproliferative activity; cancer; triazoles.
