Popis: Nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAIs) are well-established drugs for the therapy of breast cancer. However, they display some serious side effects, and their efficacy can be compromised by the development of chemoresistance. Previously, we have reported different indazole-based carbamates and piperidine-sulphonamides as potent aromatase inhibitors. Starting from the most promising compounds, here we have synthesised new indazole and triazole derivatives and evaluated their biological activity as potential dual agents, targeting both the aromatase and the inducible nitric oxide synthase, being this last dysregulated in breast cancer. Furthermore, selected compounds were evaluated as antiproliferative and cytotoxic agents in the MCF-7 cell line. Moreover, considering the therapeutic diversity of azole-based compounds, all the synthesized compounds were also evaluated as antifungals on different Candida strains. A docking study, as well as molecular dynamics simulation, were carried out to shed light on the binding mode of the most interesting compound into the different target enzymes catalytic sites.
