Abstract
In this paper, an efficient synthetic route from pyrazole-chalcones to novel 6-aryl-5-hydroxy-2-phenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-ones as 3-hydroxyflavone analogues is described. The methylation of 5-hydroxy-2,6-phenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-one with methyl iodide in the presence of a base yielded a compound containing a 5-methoxy group, while the analogous reaction of 5-hydroxy-2-phenyl-6-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-one led to the zwitterionic 6-(N-methylpyridinium)pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol derivative. The treatment of 5-hydroxy-2,6-phenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(2H)-one with triflic anhydride afforded a 5-trifloylsubstituted compound, which was further used in carbon-carbon bond forming Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions to yield 5-(hetero)aryl- and 5-carbo-functionalized pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction of 5-hydroxypyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles from the 5-hydroxy moiety to the carbonyl group in polar protic, polar aprotic, and nonpolar solvents was observed, resulting in well-resolved two-band fluorescence. The structures of the novel heterocyclic compounds were confirmed by 1H-, 13C-, 15N-, and 19F-NMR spectroscopy, HRMS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.

Abstract
Here, we report a simple, efficient, and green protocol for the one-pot synthesis of pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives via a sequential three-component strategy using aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and pyrazolin-5-one in a water-SDS-ionic liquid system. This is a base and volatile organic solvent-free approach that could be applicable to a wide substrate scope. The key advantages of the method over other established protocols are very high yield, eco-friendly conditions, chromatography-free purification and recyclability of the reaction medium. Our study revealed that the N-substituent present in pyrazolinone controls the selectivity of the process. N-unsubstituted pyrazolinone favours the formation of 2,4-dihydro pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles whereas under identical conditions N-phenyl substituent pyrazolinone favours the formation 1,4-dihydro pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. Structures of the synthesized products were established by NMR and X-ray diffraction techniques. Energy optimized structures and energy gaps between the HOMO-LUMO of some selected compounds were estimated using density functional theory to explain the extra stability of the 2,4-dihydro pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles over 1,4-dihydro pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles.

Abstract
In the present study, the MCRs of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and ethyl acetoacetate with various substituted aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes reacted to produce 3-methyl-4-(hetero)aryl methylene isoxazole-5(4H)-ones derivatives catalyzed by an agro-waste-based solvent medium in an oil bath at 60 °C with stirring. The developed protocol features several advantages, such as being benign and eco-friendly, efficient, avoiding the use of hazardous solvents, and inexpensive, while giving isoxazole derivatives in an 86-92% yield. The homogeneity of the product was confirmed by various spectroscopic analyses. Further, in vitro anticancer evaluation of the synthesized compounds (4h-4o) against lung cancer cells was performed, and among them, 4j, 4k, 4m, and 4o exhibited excellent anticancer activity and compounds 4i and 4n moderate inhibitory activity against lung cancer A549 cells to the reference drug doxorubicin. Furthermore, the derivatives were subjected to electrochemical behaviour studies using cyclic voltammetry and they showed intensive oxidation and reduction potential and also showed excellent anti-oxidant agents. Based on this research study, more and more novel structures of isoxazoles are being designed and synthesized, and their electrochemical behaviour and anticancer activities are studied for the development of novel drug-like candidates.

Abstract
We report a new pathway to synthesize pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles and their binding mode to p38 MAP kinase. Pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives have been prepared through a four-component reaction of benzyl alcohols, ethyl acetoacetate, phenylhydrazine, and malononitrile in the presence of sulfonated amorphous carbon and eosin Y as catalysts. All products were characterized by melting point, 1H and 13C NMR, and HRMS (ESI). The products were screened in silico for their binding activities to both the ATP-binding pocket and the lipid-binding pocket of p38 MAP kinase, using a structure-based flexible docking provided by the engine ADFR. The results showed that eight synthesized compounds had a higher affinity to the lipid pocket than to the other target site, which implied potential applications as allosteric inhibitors. Finally, the most biologically active compound, 5, had a binding affinity comparable to those of other proven lipid pocket inhibitors, with affinity to the target pocket reaching -10.9932 kcal/mol, and also had the best binding affinity to the ATP-binding pockets in all of our products. Thus, our research provides a novel pathway for synthesizing pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles and bioinformatic evidence for their biological capability to block p38 MAP kinase pockets, which could be useful for developing cancer or immune drugs.

Potent and Broad-Spectrum Bactericidal Activity of a Nanotechnologically Manipulated Novel Pyrazole. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10040907.

Abstract
The antimicrobial potency of the pyrazole nucleus is widely reported these days, and pyrazole derivatives represent excellent candidates for meeting the worldwide need for new antimicrobial compounds against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Consequently, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(4-nitrophenylamino)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (CR232), recently reported as a weak antiproliferative agent, was considered to this end. To overcome the CR232 water solubility issue and allow for the determination of reliable minimum inhibitory concentration values (MICs), we initially prepared water-soluble and clinically applicable CR232-loaded nanoparticles (CR232-G5K NPs), as previously reported. Here, CR232-G5K NPs have been tested on several clinically isolates of Gram-positive and Gram-negative species, including MDR strains. While for CR232 MICs ≥ 128 µg/mL (376.8 µM) were obtained, very low MICs (0.36–2.89 µM) were observed for CR232-G5K NPs against all of the considered isolates, including colistin-resistant isolates of MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPCs)-producing K. pneumoniae (0.72 µM). Additionally, in time–kill experiments, CR232-G5K NPs displayed a rapid bactericidal activity with no significant regrowth after 24 h on all isolates tested, regardless of their difficult-to-treat resistance. Conjecturing a clinical use of CR232-G5K NPs, cytotoxicity experiments on human keratinocytes were performed, determining very favorable selectivity indices. Collectively, due to its physicochemical and biological properties, CR232-G5K NPs could represent a new potent weapon to treat infections sustained by broad spectrum MDR bacteria.

Abstract
A pyrazole derivative (CB1) was previously evaluated in vivo for various pharmacological activities (with the exception of antimicrobial effects), using DMSO as the administrative medium, mainly due to its water insolubility. Considering the global necessity for new antimicrobial agents, CB1 attracted our attention as a candidate to meet this need, mainly because the secondary amine group in its structure would make it possible to obtain its hydrochloride salt (CB1H), thus effortlessly solving its water-solubility drawbacks. In preliminary microbiologic investigations on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, CB1H displayed weak antibacterial effects on MDR isolates of Gram-positive species, nonetheless better than those displayed by the commonly-used available antibiotics. Therefore, aiming at improving such activity and extending the antibacterial spectrum of CB1H to Gram-negative pathogens, in this first work CB1 was strategically formulated in nanoparticles using a cationic copolymer (P7) previously developed by us, possessing potent broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. Using the nanoprecipitation method, CB1H-loaded polymer nanoparticles (CB1H-P7 NPs) were obtained, which were analyzed by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy to confirm the successful loading. Additionally, CB1H-P7 NPs were fully characterized in terms of morphology, size, polydispersity indices, surface charge, DL%, and EE%, as well as release and potentiometric profiles.

Abstract
Water-soluble formulations of the pyrazole derivative 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(4-nitrophenylamino)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (CR232), which were proven to have in vitro antiproliferative effects on different cancer cell lines, were prepared by two diverse nanotechnological approaches. Importantly, without using harmful organic solvents or additives potentially toxic to humans, CR232 was firstly entrapped in a biodegradable fifth-generation dendrimer containing lysine (G5K). CR232-G5K nanoparticles (CR232-G5K NPs) were obtained with high loading (DL%) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%), which showed a complex but quantitative release profile governed by Weibull kinetics. Secondly, starting from hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol, we prepared biocompatible CR232-loaded liposomes (CR232-SUVs), which displayed DL% and EE% values increasing with the increase in the lipids/CR232 ratio initially adopted and showed a constant prolonged release profile ruled by zero-order kinetics. When relevant, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments, as well as potentiometric titrations completed the characterization of the prepared NPs. CR232-G5K NPs were 2311-fold more water-soluble than the pristine CR232, and the CR232-SUVs with the highest DL% were 1764-fold more soluble than the untreated CR232, thus establishing the success of both our strategies.

Abstract
Although the antimicrobial potency of the pyrazole nucleus is widely reported, the antimicrobial effects of the 2-(4-bromo-3,5-diphenyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-ethanol (BBB4), found to be active against several other conditions, have never been investigated. Considering the worldwide need for new antimicrobial agents, we thought it noteworthy to assess the minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of BBB4 but, due to its scarce water-solubility, unequivocal determinations were tricky. To obtain more reliable MICs and to obtain a substance also potentially applicable in vivo, we recently prepared water-soluble, BBB4-loaded dendrimer nanoparticles (BBB4-G4K NPs), which proved to have physicochemical properties suitable for clinical application. Here, with the aim of developing a new antibacterial agent based on BBB4, the BBB4-G4K NPs were tested on several strains of different species of the Staphylococcus genus. Very low MICs (1.5–3.0 µM), 15.5–124.3-fold lower than those of the free BBB4, were observed against several isolates of S. aureus and S. epidermidis, the most pathogenic species of this genus, regardless of their resistance patterns to antibiotics. Aiming at hypothesizing a clinical use of BBB4-G4K NPs for staphylococcal skin infections, cytotoxicity experiments on human keratinocytes were performed; it was found that the nano-manipulated BBB4 released from BBB4-G4K NPs (LD50 138.6 µM) was 2.5-fold less cytotoxic than the untreated BBB4 (55.9 µM). Due to its physicochemical and biological properties, BBB4-G4K NPs could be considered as a promising novel therapeutic option against the very frequent staphylococcal skin infections.

Abstract
An efficient taurine-catalyzed green multicomponent approach has been described for the first time to synthesize densely substituted therapeutic core dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. Applications of the developed synthetic strategies and technologies revealed the synthesis of a series of newly designed 1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles containing isonicotinamide, spirooxindole, and indole moieties. Detailed in silico analysis of the synthesized analogues revealed their potential to bind wild-type and antibiotic-resistant variants of dihydrofolate reductase, a principal drug target enzyme for emerging antibiotic-resistant pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus strains. Hence, the synthesized dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives presented herein hold immense promise to develop future antistaphylococcal therapeutic agents.

Abstract
2-(4-Bromo-3,5-diphenyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-ethanol (BBB4) was synthetized and successfully evaluated concerning numerous biological activities, except for antimicrobial and cytotoxic effects. Due to the antimicrobial effects possessed by pyrazole nucleus, which have been widely reported, and the worldwide need for new antimicrobial agents, we thought it would be interesting to test BBB4 and to evaluate its possible antibacterial effects. Nevertheless, since it is water-insoluble, the future clinical application of BBB4 will remain utopic unless water-soluble BBB4 formulations are developed. To this end, before implementing biological evaluations, BBB4 was herein re-synthetized and characterized, and a new water-soluble BBB4-based nano-formulation was developed by its physical entrapment in a biodegradable non-cytotoxic cationic dendrimer (G4K), without recovering harmful solvents as DMSO or surfactants. The obtained BBB4 nanoparticles (BBB4-G4K NPs) showed good drug loading (DL%), satisfying encapsulation efficiency (EE%), and a biphasic quantitative release profile governed by first-order kinetics after 24 h. Additionally, BBB4-G4K was characterized by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, NMR, SEM, dynamic light scattering analysis (DLS), and potentiometric titration experiments. While, before the nanotechnological manipulation, BBB4 was completely water-insoluble, in the form of BBB4-G4K NPs, its water-solubility resulted in being 105-fold higher than that of the pristine form, thus establishing the feasibility of its clinical application.

Design and synthesis of pyrazole-pyrazoline hybrids as cancer-associated selective COX-2 inhibitors. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2020; 354:e2000116. [PMID: 33015829 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202000116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2020] [Revised: 08/22/2020] [Accepted: 09/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
In continuation of our previous work on cancer and inflammation, 15 novel pyrazole-pyrazoline hybrids (WSPP1-15) were synthesized and fully characterized. The formation of the pyrazoline ring was confirmed by the appearance of three doublets of doublets in 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra exhibiting an AMX pattern for three protons (HA , HM , and HX ) of the pyrazoline ring. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro anticancer activity against five cell lines, that is, MCF-7, A549, SiHa, COLO205, and HepG2 cells, using the MTT growth inhibition assay. 5-Fluorouracil was taken as the positive control in the study. It was observed that, among them, WSPP11 was found to be active against A549, SiHa, COLO205, and HepG2 cells, with IC50 values of 4.94, 4.54, 4.86, and 2.09 µM. All the derivatives were also evaluated for their cytotoxicity against HaCaT cells. WSPP11 was also found to be nontoxic against normal cells (cell line HaCaT), with an IC50 value of more than 50 µM. The derivatives were also evaluated for their in vitro anti-inflammatory activity by the protein (egg albumin) denaturation assay and the red blood cell membrane stabilizing assay, using diclofenac sodium and celecoxib as standard. Compounds that showed significant anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities were further studied for COX-2 inhibition. The manifestation of a higher COX-2 selectivity index of WSPP11 as compared with other derivatives and an in vitro anticancer activity against four cell lines further established that compounds that were more selective toward COX-2 also exhibited a better spectrum of activity against various cancer cell lines.
