For many pathologies, there is a crescent effort to design multiple ligands that interact with a wide variety of targets. 1-Aminated thioxanthone derivatives were synthesized and assayed for their in vitro dual activity as antitumor agents and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors. The approach was based on molecular hybridization of a thioxanthone scaffold, present in known antitumor drugs, and an amine, described as an important pharmacophoric feature ...
