New Bioactive Fused Triazolothiadiazoles as Bcl-2-Targeted Anticancer Agents

A series of 3-(6-substituted phenyl-[1,2,4]-triazolo[3,4-b]-[1,3,4]-thiadiazol-3-yl)-1H-indoles (<b>5a</b>–<b>l</b>) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for anti-apoptotic Bcl-2-inhibitory activity. Synthesis of the target compounds was readily accomplished through a rea...
