These were evaluated as STAT3 inhibitors since these electrophilic systems could react with thiol groups of STAT3-SH2 domain. The results showed that MTSs strongly interacted with the SH2 domain, whereas the corresponding DTTs possessed lower affinity, independently from the nature of the linked heterocyclic scaffold.
