Abstract
Dihydropyrazole (1-22) derivatives were synthesized from already synthesized chalcones. The structures of all of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and various spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds were screened against α amylase as well as investigated for antioxidant activities. The synthesized compounds demonstrate good to excellent antioxidant activities with IC50 values ranging between 30.03 and 913.58 μM. Among the 22 evaluated compounds, 11 compounds exhibit excellent activity relative to the standard ascorbic acid IC50 = 287.30 μM. Interestingly, all of the evaluated compounds show good to excellent α amylase activity with IC50 values lying in the range between 0.5509 and 810.73 μM as compared to the standard acarbose IC50 = 73.12 μM. Among the investigated compounds, five compounds demonstrate better activity compared to the standard. In order to investigate the binding interactions of the evaluated compounds with amylase protein, molecular docking studies were conducted, which show an excellent docking score as compared to the standard. Furthermore, the physiochemical properties, drug likeness, and ADMET were investigated, and it was found that none of the compounds violate Lipiniski's rule of five, which shows that this class of compounds has enough potential to be used as a drug candidate in the near future.

Abstract
Introduction: Bipyrazole is constituted from two pyrazole units either in their fully aromatic or partially hydrogenated forms. Pyrazoles are widely available in pharmaceutical and agrochemical products. Some pyrazoles are essential parts of commercial drugs in the market. This inspired us to collect the pharmacological activities of bipyrazoles that have potential therapeutic behaviors in several biological aspects but none of them were included in commercial drugs.Areas covered: This review covers all biological and pharmacological potentials of bipyrazole derivatives during 2010-2021. The topics of this review comprised anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitubercular, antimalarial, insecticidal activities as well as enzymatic inhibitions.Expert opinion: Bipyrazoles demonstrated a wide array of potent activities against various diseases such as anticancer, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. Those are of great benefits for medicinal researchers to develop promising building blocks of bipyrazoles for treatment of diseases. The SAR studies showed that metallated bipyrazoles had better biological activities than bipyrazole ligands. For example, gold(III) and iridium(II) complexes of bipyrazoles were proved to be anticancer agents, and copper(I) as well as silver(I) complexes had excellent antibacterial activities. Several bipyrazoles were reported as antimalarial inhibitors better than chloroquine, the possible COVID-19 drug.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is one of the main causes of significant severe diseases. The discovery of new potent antioxidants with high efficiency and low toxicity is a great demand in the field of medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report the design, synthesis molecular modelling and biological evaluation of novel hybrids containing pyrazole, naphthalene and pyrazoline/isoxazoline moiety. Chalcones 2a–e were synthesized efficiently and were used as starting materials for synthesis of a variety of heterocycles. A novel series of pyrazoline 3a–e, phenylpyrazoline 4a–e, isoxazoline 5a–e and pyrazoline carbothioamide derivatives 6a–e were synthesized and screened for in vitro antioxidant activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide radical scavenging assay as well as 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) inhibition activity. Compounds 3a, 4e, 5b, 5c, 6a, 6c, and 6e showed excellent radical scavenging activity in all three methods in comparison with ascorbic acid and 15-LOX inhibition potency using quercetin as standard then were subjected to in vivo study. Catalase (CAT) activity, glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were assayed in liver of treated rats. Compounds 5b, 5c, and 6e showed significant in vivo antioxidant potentials compared to control group at dose of 100 mg/kg B.W. Molecular docking of compound 6a endorsed its proper binding at the active site pocket of the human 15-LOX which explains its potent antioxidant activity in comparison with standard ascorbic acid.

Abstract
Aim: Everyday studies prove the increasing need for newer and safer agents to control cellular inflammatory response, an underlying cause for the pathophysiology of many other clinical cases. Results: Two newly designed sets of schiff 5a-h and chlacone 6a-f substituted pyrazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their in vivo/vitro anti-inflammatory activities. Most potent representatives were chosen for investigation of ulcerogenic and molecular docking properties. Conclusion: The synthesized compounds showed considerable edema inhibition percentage range if compared with celecoxib (13-93% and 58-93%, respectively) at different time intervals. Compound 6e showed the best screening results if compared with celecoxib (inhibition % = 93.62 and 93.51% at 5 h, COX-1/COX-2 selectivity index SI = 215.44 and 308.16 and ulcer index = 7.25 and 8, respectively).

Abstract
The search of new antioxidants, as drugs candidates, is an active field of medicinal chemistry. The synthesis of compounds with antioxidant potential has increased in recent years and a high number of structurally diverse compounds have been published. This review aims to show the current state-of-the-art on the development of antioxidant compounds incorporating the pyrazole pharmacophore. It is a well-timed review driven by the increasing number of papers, on this issue, that have been published since the beginning of the 21st century (from 2000 to 2017). The aim is to look deeper into the structures already published in the literature containing the pyrazole core as the unique pharmacophore or combined with other pharmacophores and see the relationship between the presence of this five-membered nitrogen heterocycle and the behaviour of the compounds as potential antioxidant agents. An attempt was made to whenever possible establish structure-activity relationships that could help the design of new and more potent antioxidant agents containing this important pharmacophore.
