{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: Recent development of azole-sulfonamide hybrids with the anticancer potential. {Author}: Zhao C;Liu Y;Cui Z; {Journal}: Future Med Chem {Volume}: 16 {Issue}: 12 {Year}: 2024 {Factor}: 4.767 {DOI}: 10.1080/17568919.2024.2351291 {Abstract}: Cancer exhibits heterogeneity that enables adaptability and remains grand challenges for effective treatment. Chemotherapy is a validated and critically important strategy for the treatment of cancer, but the emergence of multidrug resistance which may lead to recurrence of disease or even death is a major hurdle for successful chemotherapy. Azoles and sulfonamides are important anticancer pharmacophores, and azole-sulfonamide hybrids have the potential to simultaneously act on dual/multiple targets in cancer cells, holding great promise to overcome drug resistance. This review outlines the current scenario of azole-sulfonamide hybrids with the anticancer potential, and the structure-activity relationships as well as mechanisms of action are also discussed, covering articles published from 2020 onward.
