Abstract

Background & Objective: A series of novel derivatives possessing the thiophene moiety were synthesized using ethyl 5'-amino-2,3'-bithiophene-4'-carboxylate as the starting material.

Methods: The new synthesized derivatives were screened as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) inhibitors. LDH plays an important role in glucose metabolism in cancer cells and can affect tumor genesis and metastasis.

Results: 3-Substituted p-tolylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones 4 were the most potent inhibitors in this study compared to Galloflavin reference drug.

Conclusion: Molecular docking studies on the Human Lactate Dehydrogenase active site were carried out on the synthesized compounds and the MolDock scores ranged between -127 to -171.

Keywords: Thiophene derivatives, thieno[2, 3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones, molecular modeling, lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors, anticancer drug target, tumor genesis.
