Abstract
1,2,4-triazole is an important nucleus present in a large number of compounds. More than thirty-five compounds containing this nucleus are introduced into the market. 1,2,4-triazole nucleus is stable to metabolism and acts as an important pharmacophore by interacting at the active site of a receptor as hydrogen bond acceptor and as a donor. Due to its polar nature, the triazole nucleus can increase the solubility of the ligand and it can significantly improve the pharmacological profile of the drug. A large number of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives are reported to possess a wide range of bioactivities including anti-cancer activity. This review article describes the role of 1,2,4-triazole nucleus in different types of anti-cancer agents such as nucleoside based anti-cancer agents, kinase inhibitors, tubulin modulators, aromatase and steroid sulfatase inhibitors, methionine aminopeptidase inhibitors, tankyrase inhibitors and metal complex based anti-cancer agents. It is expected that the current review article will provide insight into various ligand-receptor interactions and help in the rational design and development of novel 1,2,4-triazole based anti-cancer drugs with improved selectivity for cancer cells.
Keywords: 1, 2, 4-triazoles, anticancer, kinase inhibitors, tubulin modulators, structure-activity relationship.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
Signaling and enzymatic modulators in cancer treatment
Cancer accounts for nearly 10 million deaths in 2022 and is considered the leading cause of worldwide mortality. Cancer outcome can be improved through an appropriate screening and early detection and through an efficient clinical treatment. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are the most important approach for the treatment of several ...read more
