Facile synthesis, ex-vivo and in vitro screening of 3-sulfonamide derivative of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid piperidin-1-ylamide (SR141716) a potent CB1 receptor antagonist

Direct access to pyrazolo(benzo)thienoquinolines. Highly effective palladium catalysts for the intramolecular C-H heteroarylation of arenes

A short and atom-efficient strategy to obtain a series of pyrazolo(benzo)thienoquinolines is developed. Alternative catalytic systems for the key intramolecular direct heteroarylation of arenes are presented and include the first example of C-H (hetero)arylation of (hetero)arenes catalyzed by very low catalyst loadings of a palladium source.

Hair growth stimulator property of thienyl substituted pyrazole carboxamide derivatives as a CB1 receptor antagonist with in vivo antiobesity effect

A few thienyl substituted pyrazole derivatives were synthesized to aid in the characterization of the cannabinoid receptor antagonist and also to serve as potentially useful antiobesity agent. Structural requirements for selective CB1 receptor antagonistic activity of 5-thienyl pyrazole derivatives included the structural similarity with potent, specific antagonist rimonabant 1. Compound 3 has been identified as a hair growth stimulator and an antiobesity agent in animal models.
