Abstract

In recent decades, the development of targeted drugs has featured prominently in the treatment of Cancer, which is among the major causes of mortality globally. Triazole-fused pyrimidines, a widely-used class of heterocycles in medicinal chemistry, have attracted considerable interest as potential Anticancer agents that target various cancer-associated targets in recent years, demonstrating them as valuable templates for discovering novel Anticancer candidates. The current review concentrates on the latest advancements of triazole-pyrimidines as target-based Anticancer agents, including works published between 2007 and the present (2007-2022). The structure-activity relationships (SARs) and multiple pathways are also reviewed to shed light on the development of more effective and biotargeted Anticancer candidates.
