Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation Studies of Novel Naphthalene-Chalcone Hybrids As Antimicrobial, Anticandidal, Anticancer, and VEGFR-2 Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Cancer is a progressive disease that is frequently encountered worldwide. The incidence of cancer is increasing with the changing living conditions around the world. The side-effect profile of existing drugs and the resistance developing in long-term use increase the need for novel drugs. In addition, cancer patients are not resistant to bacterial and fungal infections due to the suppression of the immune system during the treatment. Rather than adding a new antibacterial or antifungal drug to the current treatment plan, the fact that the drug with anticancer activity has these effects (antibacterial and antifungal) will increase the patient's quality of life. For this purpose, in this study, a series of 10 new naphthalene-chalcone derivatives were synthesized and their anticancer-antibact
