Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Benzimidazole‐Pyrazole Hybrids as Aromatase Inhibitors for Breast Cancer Therapy

values, while showing minimal toxicity toward the normal cell line, NIH3T3. Aromatase inhibitory activity, assessed using the fluorometric assay, further identified compound 5g as the most potent inhibitor. Complementary molecular docking studies demonstrated that compounds 5g and 5i form favorable interactions with the aromatase enzyme, showing higher binding affinity compared to letrozole, providing mechanistic insight into their inhibitory activity. ADMET analysis further confirmed the drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic suitability of the synthesized derivatives. Collectively, these results establish compound 5g as a promising lead for aromatase inhibition, necessitating further in vivo evaluation.
