Synthesis, Anti-Cancer Activity, Cell Cycle Arrest, Apoptosis Induction, and Docking Study of Fused Benzo[]chromeno[2,3-]pyrimidine on Human Breast Cancer Cell Line MCF-7.

Breast cancer is the predominant form of cancer among women and ranks as the second most prevalent cancer globally, affecting both developed and less developed countries. Presently, accessible cancer treatment methods either employ recently created, secure, and efficient chemotherapeutic medications or directly target innovative pathways that cause apoptosis. One of the indirect strategies for treating this fatal illness has mostly depended on its essential role in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction, as well as the antagonistic interaction between the Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 proteins, in order to avert major health repercussions. We reported that newly synthesized fused chromenopyrimidines ( and ) showed potential cell cycle arrest and dual Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 inhibitory characteristics. Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 were the targets of a molecular docking procedure. The previous docking results are in line with the biological data and suggest that may have promising anti-cancer activity.
