For the development of new anticancer agents, phenyl, 2-pyridyl, 2-furyl, 2-thienyl, 2-furylvinyl and 2-thienylvinyl substituted derivatives on 2,4,6-position in pyridine moiety were prepared and evaluated for their topoisomerase I inhibitory activity. Among the thirteen prepared compounds, four compounds exhibited strong topoisomerase I inhibitory activity. A structure-activity relationship study

protocol for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridines via oxidative cascade annulation of arylacetylenes with benzylamines has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly utilizing iron(II) triflate as a catalyst and molecular oxygen as an oxidant with broad substrate scope. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction may be experiences an oxidative condensation
