“…Molecular hybridization approach represents an effective tool to design novel and highly active drugs since these hybridized molecules can act on multiple targets and thus can overcome drug resistance 28,29 . Many literature reported the molecular hybridization and anticancer activity of dithiocarbamates with thalidomide 8 , butenolide 12 , 1,2,3-triazoles 14,15 , quinazolines 9,11,16,17 , chromones 13 , sulphonamides 10 and saccharin derivatives 2 . However, to the best of our knowledge, their molecular hybridization with tetrahydrocarbazoles to afford anticancer agents have not been reported before.…”
