In this research paper we report the detailed synthesis, spectral (1H-NMR, FT-IR, and UV-Vis), crystal structure determination, DFT studies, and molecular modeling of 4-amino-3-mercapto-5-methyl-1,2,4-triazole (L2) Schiff base ligand and its complexes of cadmium as suitable bioactive agents for the treatment of malaria. From the spectroscopic results, the synthesized Schiff base has potentialtridentate coordination with themetal ion via hydroxy naphthalinic-O, azomethine-N and sulphur atom of the thione group.

A major advance in antimalarial drug discovery has been the shift towards cell-based phenotypic screening, with notable progress in the screening of compounds against the asexual blood stage, liver stage, and gametocytes. A primary method for drug target deconvolution in Plasmodium falciparum is in vitro evolution of compound-resistant parasites followed by whole-genome scans.

Preclinical studies require models that recapitulate the cellular diversity of human tumors and provide insight into the drug sensitivities of specific cellular populations. The ideal platform would enable rapid screening of cell type-specific drug sensitivities directly in patient tumor tissue and reveal strategies to overcome intratumoral heterogeneity.

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant paediatric brain tumour and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality and morbidity. Existing treatment protocols are aggressive in nature resulting in significant neurological, intellectual and physical disabilities for the children undergoing treatment. Thus, there is an urgent need for improved, targeted therapies that minimize these harmful side effects.
