Design, synthesis and fungicidal activities of some novel pyrazole derivatives

Synthesis, Characterization, Antitubercular Activity, and Molecular Docking Studies of Pyrazolylpyrazoline-Clubbed Triazole and Tetrazole Hybrids

To increase the antitubercular potency, we synthesized a series of novel pyrazolylpyrazoline derivatives (9a-p) using the one-pot multicomponent reaction of the substituted heteroaryl aldehyde (3a,b), 2-acetyl pyrrole/thiazole (4a,b), and substituted hydrazine hydrates (5-8) in the presence of base NaOH as a catalyst in ethanol as the solvent at room temperature. Substituted heteroaryl aldehyde (3a,b) was synthesized from 5-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-methyl-carbaldehyde on protection with ethylene glycol followed by treatment with 4-amino triazole/5-amino tetrazole and then deprotection using acid. The salient features of the green protocol are the one-pot reaction, shorter reaction time, and straightforward workup procedure. All of the compounds were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇Rv, wherein compounds 9i, 9k, 9l, 9o, and 9p were found to be most effective. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were determined using spectral methods. Furthermore, molecular docking investigations into the active site of mycobacterial InhA yielded well-clustered solutions for these compounds' binding modalities producing a binding affinity in the range from -8.884 to -7.113. Theoretical results were in good accord with the observed experimental values. The docking score of the most active compound 9o was found to be -8.884, and the Glide energy was -61.144 kcal/mol. and it was found to accommodate well into the active site of InhA, engaging in a network of bonded and nonbonded interactions.

A Compendium of the Most Promising Synthesized Organic Compounds against Several Fusarium oxysporum Species: Synthesis, Antifungal Activity, and Perspectives

Vascular wilt caused by F. oxysporum (FOX) is one of the main limitations of producing several agricultural products worldwide, causing economic losses between 40% and 100%. Various methods have been developed to control this phytopathogen, such as the cultural, biological, and chemical controls, the latter being the most widely used in the agricultural sector. The treatment of this fungus through systemic fungicides, although practical, brings problems because the agrochemical agents used have shown mutagenic effects on the fungus, increasing the pathogen's resistance. The design and the synthesis of novel synthetic antifungal agents used against FOX have been broadly studied in recent years. This review article presents a compendium of the synthetic methodologies during the last ten years as promissory, which can be used to afford novel and potential agrochemical agents. The revision is addressed from the structural core of the most active synthetic compounds against FOX. The synthetic methodologies implemented strategies based on cyclo condensation reactions, radical cyclization, electrocyclic closures, and carbon-carbon couplings by metal-organic catalysis. This revision contributes significantly to the organic chemistry, supplying novel alternatives for the use of more effective agrochemical agents against F. oxysporum.

Synthesis, crystal structure, and optical properties of fluorinated poly(pyrazole) ligands and in silico assessment of their affinity for volatile organic compounds

Increasing fluorination of an organic ligand forming porous coordination polymers results in enhanced affinity for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) without affecting the fluorescence properties, thus opening new perspectives for VOC sensing.

Design and Biological Evaluation of 3-Aryl-4-alkylpyrazol-5-amines Based on the Target Fishing

BACKGROUND

Pyrazol-5-amine derivatives are an important class of heterocyclic compounds. However, there are less 4-alkyl substituted pyrazoles reported.

OBJECTIVE

Here reported are the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-aryl-4- alkylpyrazol-5-amines derivatives.

METHODS

A serials of 3-aryl-4-alkylpyrazol-5-amines were designed and the biological action targets were screened by target fishing function of Discovery Studio software. The synthesis route involved 3-oxo-3-arylpropanenitrile formation, alkylation, pyrazole formation, and amides formation. The antitumor activities of these compounds were carried out by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method using U-2 OS (osteosarcoma) and A549 (lung cancer) tumor cells.

RESULTS

Eight 3-aryl-4-alkylpyrazol-5-amines were synthesized, and their structures were verified by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. Thirteen pharmacophores were mapped out by target fishing. Compound 5h showed anti-proliferation activities against U-2 OS and A549 tumor cell with IC50 value of 0.9 μM and 1.2 μM, respectively.

CONCLUSION

Compound 5h might represent a promising scaffold for the further development of novel antitumor drugs.

Design and synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines: Nitric oxide releasing compounds targeting hepatocellular carcinoma

A new series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines tethered with nitric oxide (NO) producing functionality was designed and synthesized. Sulforhodamine B (SRB) protein assay revealed that NO releasing moiety in the synthesized compounds significantly decreased the cell growth more than the des-NO analogues. Compounds 7C and 7G possessing N-para-substituted phenyl group, released the highest NO concentration of 4.6% and 4.7% respectively. Anti-proliferative activity of synthesized compounds on HepG2 cell line identified compounds 7h, 7p, 14a and 14b as the most cytotoxic compounds in the series of IC₅₀=3, 5, 3 and 5μM, respectively, compared to erlotinib as a reference drug (IC₅₀=25μM). Flow cytometry studies revealed that 7h arrested the cells in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle while 7p arrested the cells in S phase. Moreover, docking study of the synthesized compounds on EGFR (PDB code: 1M17) and cytotoxicity study indicated that N-1 phenyl para substitution, pyrazole C-3 alkyl substitution and tethering the nitrate moiety through butyl group had a significant impact on the activity.
