Five chemical compounds, including currently available drugs with oxygen or nitrogen atoms in their chemical structure, were examined in silico against two receptors, 3EZV and 6JOI, using two distinct docking programs, PyRX docking and MZ-DOCK. The potential of these compounds is demonstrated by imatinib, the standard used to validate the methodology. Ethyl 2,3-dihydro-1h-indole-2-carboxylate (-10.3 MZ dock-3EZV, -8.6 PyRX-3EZV, -9.6 MZ-DOCK 6JOI) is one of the promising candidates chosen for additional research. It shows promise in comparison to Indinavir (-10.3 MZ dock-3EZV, -10.2 PyRX-3EZV, -10.7 MZ-DOCK 6JOI) (<bold id="strong-781e7cdf8080435aaa584f1e5a813da0">Table 1</bold>). According to Lipinski's rule, the Swiss-ADME parameters produced positive results (<bold id="strong-2ce50de4beca414d9d1b85a0154dccd6">Table 2</bold>). The toxicity parameters were assessed by PROTOX 0.3 (<bold id="strong-28bdf193f4a3415a9086a2ccd96f4e2d">Table 3</bold>). Compounds containing nitrogen or oxygen are now essential in the search for novel cancer-fighting medications. More pharmacological research, structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis, and synthesis are required in order to advance the development of life-saving medicinal chemistry treatments by clarifying their therapeutic potential and validating their effectiveness in treating cancer. <sup id="superscript-6ebc56a6c45b43a9b74d4595fa12a4b9"><xref id="xref-f05aa919e35d49e5b1cbf526936cc93e" rid="R283149934081478" ref-type="bibr">18</xref></sup></p>

      <p id="paragraph-4012f8f3c064411793a0605f9362f88a">Numerous potential heterocyclic chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals with oxygen or nitrogen groups that are currently on the market, were successfully identified by this in-silico analysis. These medications showed strong binding affinities to the CDK-2 by co-crystallizing the crystal structure of PDGFRA T674I with crenolanib, with indazole inhibitor nine binding at the CDK-2's active site. The compounds ethyl 2,3-dihydro-1h-indole-2-carboxylate (2s,3r,4r,5s,6r) were identified using PyRX and MZ DOCK docking approaches. [methyl (4-ethoxyphenyl)] -2-[4-chloro-3-] phenyl -6methylsulfanyloxane-3,4,5-triol were found to be important candidates with binding energies that were similar to, and in some cases even closer to, those of the approved standard drug imatinib. The potential bioavailability and drug-likeness of these chosen compounds are indicated by their good Swiss-ADME properties and compliance with Lipinski's Rule. Considering the established function of heterocyclic compounds in the creation of antiviral drugs, our results offer an essential computational basis. Additional pharmacological and structure-activity. Triazoles, pyridines, quinolines, indoles, and thiazoles are examples of heterocyclic scaffolds, which are essential building blocks in medicinal chemistry. Their distinct electrical, lipophilic, and hydrogen-bonding characteristics—which are essential for molecular identification in biological systems—are made possible by their aromatic nature and the presence of heteroatoms (N, O, and S). Tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib (Gleevec) was created using a heteroaromatic pharmacophore (pyrimidine and piperazine rings); therefore, evaluating novel heteroaromatic scaffolds against it offers a logical standard for anticancer efficacy.</p>
