New 1,2,3‐Triazole‐Tethered Chalcone Derivatives: Synthesis, Bioevaluation and Computational Study

Abstract

In search of new active molecules, a small focused library of novel 1,2,3-triazoles based chalcone derivatives has been efficiently prepared via the click chemistry approach. All the synthesized compounds were characterized with the help of IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized novel 1,2,3-triazoles based chalcone derivatives evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Furthermore, molecular modeling study could support these outcomes by demonstrating very good binding affinities at the active site of the cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) iterating the potential of this scaffold for further optimization.
