Abstract
Pyrazole derivatives, as a class of heterocyclic compounds, possess unique chemical structures that confer them with a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. They have been extensively explored for designing potent and selective anticancer agents. In recent years, numerous pyrazole derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer potential against various cancer cell lines. Structure-activity relationship studies have shown that appropriate substitution on different positions of the pyrazole ring can significantly enhance anticancer efficacy and tumor selectivity. It is noteworthy that many pyrazole derivatives have demonstrated multiple mechanisms of anticancer action by interacting with various targets including tubulin, EGFR, CDK, BTK, and DNA. Therefore, this review summarizes the current understanding on the structural features of pyrazole derivatives and their structure-activity relationships with different targets, aiming to facilitate the development of potential pyrazole-based anticancer drugs. We focus on the latest research advances in anticancer activities of pyrazole compounds reported from 2018 to present.

The inhibitory effect of some pyrazole ligands and their Cu(II) complexes on the growth of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella–Enterobacter spp., and Staphylococcus aureus. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:921157. [PMID: 36059995 PMCID: PMC9428121 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.921157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory activity of chemistry products against the growth of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella–Enterobacter spp., and Staphylococcus aureus. Pyrazole derivatives (4-bromo-2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenol, 4-nitro-3-pyrazolecarboxylic acid, N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine), 3-amino-5-hydroxypyrazole, 3,5-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid monohydrate, and selected complexes of Cu(II) with the mentioned pyrazoles as ligands were used as chemistry bioactives for antibacterial activity. The testing method was carried out according to the disc diffusion method. Some compounds have shown inhibitory effects against the growth of E. coli. A small number of compounds have shown inhibitory effects against the growth of Klebsiella–Enterobacter spp. but did not show inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus compared to amoxicillin as a standard.
