Abstract
A general and sustainable approach for the synthesis of benzimidazole-thiazole compounds via an efficient, one-pot, domino, pseudo-four-component reaction using 5-amino-2-mercaptobenzimidazole, aralkyl halides, ammonium thiocyanate, and substituted α-bromo-acetophenones in glacial acetic acid at ambient temperature to give final compounds (4a-p) in good yields in shorter time. The spectral data of synthesized compounds were evaluated by analytical and spectral techniques (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and ESI-HRMS). Further, some of the synthesized compounds were screened for their in-vitro antibacterial activity studies using the agar well diffusion method against Gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae (2451) bacteria and Gram-negative Proteous mirabilis (2081) bacteria. Based on the MIC results, it was observed that the most active compounds 4b, 4e, 4f, and 4k show promising antibacterial activity with the zone of inhibition values of 2.85 cm 2.75 cm, 3.6 cm, and 3.3 cm against both Gram-negative and positive bacteria cell lines, respectively. Further, we have also insight into the molecular simulation studies, based on the binding results, compound 4i showed stable binding interactions with streptomycin drug with the active site of the gyrase protein (PDB ID: 1KIJ). The structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of all the title scaffolds were also established. The antibacterial activity, molecular docking studies, and molecular dynamic simulations of the title compounds suggested that these are promising antibacterial active skeletons.

Abstract
Light-emitting diode (LED)-based therapies, particularly blue LEDs with wavelengths of 400-500 nm, have shown beneficial results in several cancers, including melanoma, lymphoid cells, and skin tumors. In this study, the cell viability and apoptosis of Kasumi-1 cells treated by blue light (BL) irradiation have been explored. Firstly, BL can specially inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of Kasumi-1 cells. Furthermore, the apoptosis was triggered by the production of reactive oxygen species and the decline of mitochondrial membrane potential which was regulated by the ratio of Bcl-2(Bcl-xL)/Bax; BL caused the cells' final apoptosis accompanied with the increased cleavage of caspase-3 and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase. Finally, BL induced the degradation of AML1-ETO dependent on the activation of caspase-3. These results are helpful for establishing a low toxicity and high efficiency strategy of BL irradiation for clinical treatment of Kasumi-1 cells.

Abstract
Pyrazole has been recognized as a pharmacologically important privileged scaffold whose derivatives produce almost all types of pharmacological activities and have attracted much attention in the last decades. Of the various pyrazole derivatives reported as potential therapeutic agents, this article focuses on pyrazole-based kinase inhibitors. Pyrazole-possessing kinase inhibitors play a crucial role in various disease areas, especially in many cancer types such as lymphoma, breast cancer, melanoma, cervical cancer, and others in addition to inflammation and neurodegenerative disorders. In this article, we reviewed the structural and biological characteristics of the pyrazole derivatives recently reported as kinase inhibitors and classified them according to their target kinases in a chronological order. We reviewed the reports including pyrazole derivatives as kinase inhibitors published during the past decade (2011-2020).

Abstract
Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) has emerged as an attractive drug target for different diseases. Recently, discovered SphK1 inhibitors have been recommended in cancer therapeutics; however, selectivity and potency are great challenges. In this study, a novel series of benzimidazoles was synthesized and evaluated as SphK1 inhibitors. Our design strategy is twofold: It aimed first to study the effect of replacing the 5-position of the benzimidazole ring with a polar carboxylic acid group on the SphK1-inhibitory activity and cytotoxicity. Our second aim was to optimize the structures of the benzimidazoles through the elongation of the chain. The enzyme inhibition potentials against all the synthesized compounds toward SphK1 were evaluated, and the results revealed that most of the studied compounds inhibited SphK1 effectively. The binding affinity of the benzimidazole derivatives toward SphK1 was measured by fluorescence binding and molecular docking. Compounds 33, 37, 39, 41, 42, 43, and 45 showed an appreciable binding affinity. Therefore, the SphK1-inhibitory potentials of compounds 33, 37, 39, 41, 42, 43, and 45 were studied and IC50 values were determined, to reveal high potency. The study showed that these compounds inhibited SphK1 with effective IC50 values. Among the studied compounds, compound 41 was the most effective one with the lowest IC50 value and a high cytotoxicity on a wide spectrum of cell lines. Molecular docking revealed that most of these compounds fit well into the ATP-binding site of SphK1 and form hydrogen bond interactions with catalytically important residues. Overall, the findings suggest the therapeutic potential of benzimidazoles in the clinical management of SphK1-associated diseases.

Abstract
A series of novel pyrazole-benzimidazole derivatives (6-42) have been designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against the HCT116, MCF-7 and Huh-7 cell lines. Among them, compounds 17, 26 and 35 showed significant antiproliferative activity against HCT116 cell lines with the IC50 values of 4.33, 5.15 and 4.84 μM, respectively. Moreover, fluorescent staining studies showed compound 17 could induce cancer cells apoptosis. The flow cytometry assay revealed that compound 17 could induce cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. All in all, these consequences suggest that pyrazole-benzimidazole derivatives could serve as promising compounds for further research to develop novel and highly potent cancer therapy agents.

Abstract
Cancer is characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of cells, dedifferentiation,
invasiveness and metastasis. Endothelial growth factor (eGF), insulin-like growth factor
(IGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), Fibroblast growth factor (FGF), Vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF), checkpoint kinase 1 & 2 ( Chk1 & Chk2), aurora kinases,
topoisomerases, histone deacetylators (HDAC), poly(ADP-Ribose)polymerase (PARP), farnesyl
transferases, RAS-MAPK pathway and PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway, are some of the
prominent mediators implicated in the proliferation of tumor cells. Huge artillery of natural
and synthetic compounds as anticancer, which act by inhibiting one or more of the enzymes
and/or pathways responsible for the progression of tumor cells, is reported in the literature.
The major limitations of anticancer agents used in clinics as well as of those under development
in literature are normal cell toxicity and other side effects due to lack of specificity.
Hence, medicinal chemists across the globe have been working for decades to develop potent and safe anticancer
agents from natural sources as well as from different classes of heterocycles. Benzimidazole is one of the most important
and explored heteronucelus because of their versatility in biological actions as well as synthetic applications
in medicinal chemistry. The structural similarity of amino derivatives of benzimidazole with purines makes it a fascinating
nucleus for the development of anticancer, antimicrobial and anti-HIV agents. This review article is an attempt
to critically analyze various reports on benzimidazole derivatives acting on different targets to act as anticancer so as
to understand the structural requirements around benzimidazole nucleus for each target and enable medicinal chemists
to promote rational development of antitumor agents.

Abstract
The cellular response to hypoxia is a key biological process that facilitates adaptation of cells to oxygen deprivation (hypoxia). This process is critical for cancer cells to adapt to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment resulting from rapid tumor growth. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor and a master regulator of the cellular response to hypoxia. The activity of HIF-1 is dictated primarily by its alpha subunit (HIF-1α), whose level and/or activity are largely regulated by an oxygen-dependent and ubiquitin/proteasome-mediated process. Prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) and the E3 ubiquitin ligase Von Hippel-Lindau factor (VHL) catalyze hydroxylation and subsequent ubiquitin-dependent degradation of HIF-1α by the proteasome. Seven in Absentia Homolog 2 (SIAH2), a RING finger-containing E3 ubiquitin ligase, stabilizes HIF-1α by targeting PHDs for ubiquitin-mediated degradation by the proteasome. This SIAH2-HIF-1 signaling axis is important for maintaining the level of HIF-1α under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. A number of protein kinases have been shown to phosphorylate SIAH2, thereby regulating its stability, activity, or substrate binding. In this review, we will discuss the regulation of the SIAH2-HIF-1 axis via phosphorylation of SIAH2 by these kinases and the potential implication of this regulation in cancer biology and cancer therapy.

Abstract
The search of new anticancer agents is considered as a dynamic field of medicinal chemistry. In recent years, the synthesis of compounds with anticancer potential has increased and a large number of structurally varied compounds displaying potent anticancer activities have been published. Pyrazole is an important biologically active scaffold that possessed nearly all types of biological activities. The aim of this review is to collate literature work reported by researchers to provide an overview on in vivo and in vitro anticancer activities of pyrazole based derivatives among the diverse biological activities displayed by them and also presents recent efforts made on this heterocyclic moiety regarding anticancer activities. This review has been driven from the increasing number of publications, on this issue, which have been reported in the literature since the ending of the 20th century (from 1995-to date).

Abstract
Background
The aim of this review is to provide an overview on diverse anticancer activities of 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives.
Main body
This review provides a correlation between the various mechanisms of action of benzimidazoles as anticancer and the substitution pattern around the nucleus.
Conclusion
The linker group and substitution at N-1, C-2, C-5, and C-6 positions have been found to be the most contributory factors for anticancer activity. This will help in the further design to afford more selective, potent, and multi-target anticancer of 2-substituted benzimidazole-based compounds.

Abstract
Synthesis of a series of benzimidazole-ornamented pyrazoles, 6a-6j has been obtained from arylhydrazine and aralkyl ketones via a multistep synthetic strategy. Among them, a hybrid-possessing para-nitrophenyl moiety connected to a pyrazole scaffold (6a) exerted the highest anti-inflammatory activity, which is superior to the standard, diclofenac sodium. While executing the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical-scavenging activity, a hybrid-possessing para-bromophenyl unit integrated at the pyrazole structural motif (6i) exhibited the highest activity among the hybrids examined. Besides, evaluation of anticancer potency of the synthesized hybrids revealed that the one containing a para-fluorophenyl unit tethered at the pyrazole nucleus (6h) showed the highest activity against both the pancreatic cancer cells (SW1990 and AsPCl) investigated. Considerable binding affinity between B-cell lymphoma and the hybrid, 6h has been reflected while performing molecular docking studies (-8.65 kcal/mol). The outcomes of the investigation expose that these hybrids could be used as effective intermediates to construct more potent biological agents.

Abstract
Pyrazole-3,4-dicarboxylic acid 2 was synthesized via the hydrolysis of pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid 1 and subsequently heated with thionyl chloride to give the novel pyrazole-3,4-dicarbonyl dichloride 3, which was easily converted into oligo-pyrazole 4 upon its reaction with p-phenylene-diamine. These newly synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and FT-IR spectroscopy, and gel permission chromatography (GPC). Three novel oligo-pyrazole thin films were prepared using oligo-pyrazole 4 with these respective values of thickness: 20, 21, and 24 μm. The optical properties of the films, including the absorbance, transmittance, and optical band gap, were determined using UV-vis spectroscopy. The Eg values of the films were found to be 1.426, 1.537, and 1.648 eV for the 20, 21, and 24 μm thick organic films, respectively. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to examine the surface morphology and properties of the organic films. In the AFM images, a few black regions were observed and several yellow regions appeared over a large area, and the surface of the oligo-pyrazole films had an extremely low roughness value. The as-synthesized oligo-pyrazole has great potential in optoelectronic applications according to the optical properties of the as-prepared films. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Recently a dramatic development of the cancer drug discovery has been shown in the field of targeted cancer therapy. Checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) inhibitors offer a promising approach to enhance the effectiveness of cancer chemotherapy. Accordingly, in this study many pyrimidine-benzimidazole conjugates were designed and twelve feasible derivatives were selected to be synthesized to investigate their activity against Chk2 and subjected to study their antitumor activity alone and in combination with the genotoxic anticancer drugs cisplatin and doxorubicin on breast carcinoma, (ER+) cell line (MCF-7). The results indicated that the studied compounds inhibited Chk2 activity with high potency (IC50 = 5.56 nM - 46.20 nM). The studied candidates exhibited remarkable antitumor activity against MCF-7 (IG50 = 6.6 μM - 24.9 μM). Compounds 10a-c, 14 and 15 significantly potentiated the activity of the studied genotoxic drugs, whereas, compounds 9b and 20-23 antagonized their activity. Moreover, the combination of compound 10b with cisplatin revealed the best apoptotic effect as well as combination of compound 10b with doxorubicin led to complete arrest of the cell cycle at S phase where more than 40% of cells are in the S phase with no cells at G2/M. Structure-activity relationship was discussed on the basis of molecular modeling study using Molecular modeling Environment program (MOE).

Abstract
The development of checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) inhibitors for the treatment of cancer has been an ongoing and attractive objective in drug discovery. In this study, twenty-one feasible pyrazole-benzimidazole conjugates were synthesized to study their effect against Chk2 activity using Checkpoint Kinase Assay. The antitumor activity of these compounds was investigated using SRB assay. A potentiation effect of the synthesized Chk2 inhibitors was also investigated using the genotoxic anticancer drugs cisplatin and doxorubicin on breast carcinoma, (ER+) cell line (MCF-7). In vivo Chk2 and antitumor activities of 8d as a single-agent, and in combination with doxorubicin, were evaluated in breast cancer bearing animals induced by N-methylnitrosourea. The effect of 8d alone and in combination with doxorubicin was also studied on cell-cycle phases of MCF-7 cells using flow cytometry analysis. The results revealed their potencies as Chk2 inhibitors with IC50 ranges from 9.95 to 65.07 nM. Generally the effect of cisplatin or doxorubicin was potentiated by the effect of most of the compounds that were studied. The in vivo results indicated that the combination of 8d and doxorubicin inhibited checkpoint kinase activity more than either doxorubicin or 8d alone. There was a positive correlation between checkpoint kinase inhibition and the improvement observed in histopathological features. Single dose treatment with doxorubicin or 8d produced S phase cell cycle arrest whereas their combination created cell cycle arrest at G2/M from 8% in case of doxorubicin to 51% in combination. Gold molecular modelling studies displayed a high correlation to the biological results.

Abstract
Pyrazole and its derivatives are considered a pharmacologically important active scaffold that possesses almost all types of pharmacological activities. The presence of this nucleus in pharmacological agents of diverse therapeutic categories such as celecoxib, a potent anti-inflammatory, the antipsychotic CDPPB, the anti-obesity drug rimonabant, difenamizole, an analgesic, betazole, a H2-receptor agonist and the antidepressant agent fezolamide have proved the pharmacological potential of the pyrazole moiety. Owing to this diversity in the biological field, this nucleus has attracted the attention of many researchers to study its skeleton chemically and biologically. This review highlights the different synthesis methods and the pharmacological properties of pyrazole derivatives. Studies on the synthesis and biological activity of pyrazole derivatives developed by many scientists around the globe are reported.
