Abstract
The present article focuses on the synthesis, docking, and anticancer efficacy of a new class of N-(5-o-tolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) alkanamides (3a–j).1HNMR, 13CNMR, Mass and Infrared spectral data established structures of all the analogues. We employed the MTT assay to estimate the potential anticancer efficacy of all the prepared analogues on MCF-7 cell lines. Among the derivatives tested, N-(5-o-tolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)octanamide (3g) and N-(5-o-tolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)dodecanamide (3j) exhibited remarkable anticancer activity; cisplatin is used as a standard reference. The active position of the EGFR protein complex with erlotinib (PDB ID: 1M17) was utilized for molecular docking analysis of the titled analogues. Among all the synthesized compounds 3j (-7.89 kcal/mol), 3g (-7.72 kcal/mol) and 3h (-7.34 kcal/mol) showed good binding affinity. An insilico ADME evaluation was conducted to estimate the drug likeness of synthesized compounds.
