Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)

In our group a small-compound library was already created using a pharmacophore concept. The library consists of several classes of organic compounds: tubuline inhibitors (aroyl indoles and chalcones), ribonucleotide reductase and topoisomerase II inhibitors (chalcogensemicarbazones) and kinase inhibitors (thio- and selenoazoles). The library also contains coordination compounds with mentioned ligands, since complexes can exhibit less side effects and different bioactivities in comparison to metal-free ligands. General contribution to the project would be in development of new chemical entities. Further chemical exploration will be based on structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis and molecular hybridization (MH) approach.  Results of SAR will be used to focus synthesis on the compounds most likely to be active. Starting compound library, were compounds are diversified at several attachment points of diversity, enables employment of MH approach. Hit compounds, with best pro-apoptotic activities from all groups, will be hybridized to dual and triple inhibitors in order to obtain even more active compounds.
