A new series of thieno2,3-d1,2,4triazolo1,5-apyrimidines was designed and synthesized using readily available starting materials, specifically, β-enaminoester. Their cytotoxicity was screened against three cancer cell lines, namely, MCF-7, HCT-116, and PC-3. 2-(4-bromophenyl)triazole 10b and 2-(anthracen-9-yl)triazole 10e afforded excellent potency against MCF-7 cell lines (IC50 = 19.4 ± 0.22 and 14.5 ± 0.30 μM, respectively) compared with doxorubicin (IC50 = 40.0 ± 3.9 μM). The latter derivatives 10b and 10e were further subjected to in silico ADME and docking simulation studies against EGFR and PI3K and could serve as ideal leads for additional modification in the field of anticancer research.
