The newly synthesized 1,2,3-triazole-linked metronidazole compounds show improved binding energy as potential cancer treatments.
Binding energy of the new compounds ranges from -7.5733 to -8.4456 Kcal/mol, outpacing erlotinib’s binding energy of -7.7359 Kcal/mol.
Using molecular docking, the synthesized compounds exhibited lower RMSD values, indicating strong binding interactions with EGFR.
These findings suggest that the novel compounds may serve as effective EGFR inhibitors, warranting further investigation.
