Abstract
BACKGROUND Globally, cancer is the leading cause of death, which causes 10 million deaths yearly. Clinically, several drugs are used in treatment but due to drug resistance and multidrug resistance, there occurs a failure in the cancer treatment. OBJECTIVES The present review article is a comprehensive review of pyrazole and pyrimidine hybrids as potential anticancer agents. METHODS The review comprises more than 60 research works done in this field. The efficiency of the reported pyrazolopyrimidine fused heterocyclic with their biological data and the influence of the structural aspects of the molecule have been discussed. RESULTS This review highlighted pyrazolo-pyrimidines as targeted anticancer agents with effect on multiple targets. CONCLUSION The review will be helpful for the researchers involved in targeted drugs for cancer therapy for designing new scaffolds with pyrazolo-pyrimidine moieties.

Abstract
Cancer remains the leading cause of death in the world despite the significant advancements made in anticancer drug discovery. This study is aimed to computationally evaluate the efficacy of 63 in-house synthesized pyrazole derivatives targeted to bind with prominent cancer targets namely EGFR, RSK1, RAF1, PARP2 and LIN28B known to be expressed, respectively, in lung, colon, skin, ovarian and pancreatic cancer cells. Initially, we perform the molecular docking investigations for all pyrazole compounds with a comparison to known standard drugs for each target. Docking studies have revealed that some pyrazole compounds possess better binding affinity scores than standard drug compounds. Thereafter, a long-range of 1 μs molecular dynamic (MD) simulation study for top ranked docked compounds with all respective proteins was carried out to assess the interaction stability in a dynamic environment. The results suggested that the top ranked complexes showed a stable interaction profile for a longer period of time. The outcome of this study suggests that pyrazole compounds, M33, M36, M76 and M77, are promising molecular candidates that can modulate the studied target proteins significantly in comparison to their known inhibitor based on their selective binding interactions profile. Furthermore, ADME-T profile has been explored to check for the drug-likeness and pharmacokinetics profiles and found that all proposed compounds exhibited acceptable values for being a potential drug-like candidate with non-toxic characteristics. Overall, extensive computational investigations indicate that the four proposed pyrazole inhibitors/modulators studied against each respective target protein will be helpful for future cancer therapeutic developments.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
We report the synthesis, molecular docking and anticancer properties of the novel compound (E)-1-methyl-9-(3-methylbenzylidene)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4(1H)-one (PP562). PP562 was screened against sixteen human cancer cell lines and exhibited excellent antiproliferative activity with IC50 values ranging from 0.016 to 5.667 μM. Experiments were carried out using the target PP562 at a single dose of 1.0 μM against a kinase panel comprising 100 different enzymes. A plausible binding mechanism for PP562 inhibition of DDR2 was determined using molecular dynamic analysis. The effect of PP562 on cell proliferation was also examined in cancer cell models with both high and low expression of the DDR2 gene; PP562 inhibition of high-expressing cells was more prominent than that for low expressing cells. PP562 also exhibits excellent anticancer potency toward the HGC-27 gastric cancer cell line. In addition, PP562 inhibits colony formation, cell migration, and adhesion, induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, and affects ROS generation and cell apoptosis. After DDR2 gene knockdown, the antitumor effects of PP562 on tumor cells were significantly impaired. These results suggested that PP562 might exert its inhibitory effect on HCG-27 proliferation through the DDR2 target.

Abstract
Pyrazolo-oxazine fused systems are interesting classes of heterocyclic compounds
exhibiting pronounced biological applications such as anticancer, antitubercular,
anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal activities as well as inhibiting COX-1 and
COX-2 enzymes. Depending on the distribution position of the heteroatoms (N and O), there
are fourteen different systems of pyrazolo-oxazine. Nine of them were biologically abundant
in literature, for example, pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,3]oxazines are used as analogs of antibiotics
Formycin, Formycin B, Oxoformycin B. This review article summarizes the concerted efforts
expended on most of the synthetic routes to the various types of pyrazolo-oxazines in
the literature until the first quarter of 2020. The reactions of pyrazolo-oxazines with various
reagents are also outlined.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen atom play a key role in the normal life cycle of a cell. Pyrazolopyrimidine is a privileged class of nitrogen containing fused heterocyclic compound contributing to a major portion of all lead molecules in medicinal chemistry. The thumbprint of pyrazolopyrimidine as a pharmacophore is always noticeable due to its analogy with the adenine base in DNA. Pyrazolopyrimidines are divided into five types [I, II, III, IV, V] based on the mechanism of action on the specific target conferring a wide scope of research which has accelerated the interest of researchers to investigate its biological profile. In 1956, the anti-cancer activity of pyrazolopyrimidine was evaluated for the first time with appreciable results. Since then, medicinal chemists centered their work on various methods of synthesis and evaluating the biological profile of pyrazolopyrimidine isomers. This report consists of novel methodologies followed to synthesize pyrazolopyrimidine isomers along with a note on their biological significance. To the best of our knowledge, this review article will be first of its kind to encompass different synthetic procedures along with anti-cancer, kinase inhibition, phosphodiesterase inhibition and receptor blocking activity of pyrazolopyrimidine moieties. IC50 values of potent compounds are added wherever necessary to understand the suitability of pyrazolopyrimidine skeletons for a specific biological activity.

Abstract
An efficient one-pot synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives by the four-component condensation of hydrazines, methylenemalononitriles, aldehydes and alcohols has been developed via two different reaction pathways. The structures of target products were characterized by IR spectroscopy, NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy and HRMS (ESI) spectrometry. The crystal structure of 4-ethoxy-6-(2-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
