Abstract

The copper(I)-induced synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles using azides and alkynes (click chemistry) has become extremely significant. Click chemistry has been used in all aspects of drug discovery research. The product triazole serves as a linker as it readily combines with targets through hydrogen-bonding and dipole interaction. This review summarizes the application of click chemistry and triazoles as anticancer drugs. These types of reactions proceed with high selectivity, specificity, and yields. A variety of complex molecules are synthesized by this method.
