Abstract
Depression is one of the key conditions addressed by the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) of WHO that can lead to self-harm and suicide. Depression is associated with low levels of neurotransmitters, which eventually play a key role in the progression and development of mental illness. The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds exhibit the most prominent pharmacological profile as antidepressants. Pyrazoline, a dihydro derivative of pyrazole, is a well-known five-membered heterocyclic moiety that exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities. Many researchers have reported pyrazoline scaffold-containing molecules as potential antidepressant agents with selectivity for monoamine oxidase enzyme (MAO) isoforms. Several studies indicated a better affinity of pyrazoline-based moiety as (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) MAOIs. In this review, we have focused on the recent advancements (2019-2023) in the development of pyrazoline-containing derivatives exhibiting promising inhibition of MAO-A enzyme to treat depression. This review provides structural insights on pyrazoline-based molecules along with their SAR analysis, in silico exploration of binding interactions between pyrazoline derivatives and MAO-A enzyme, and clinical trial status of various drug molecules against depression. The in-silico exploration of potent pyrazoline derivatives at the active site of the MAOA enzyme will provide further insights into the development of new potential MAO-A inhibitors for the treatment of depression.

Abstract
A series of novel 3-cyanopyridone/pyrazoline hybrids (21-30) exhibiting dual inhibition against EGFR and BRAFV600E has been developed. The synthesized target compounds were tested in vitro against four cancer cell lines. Compounds 28 and 30 demonstrated remarkable antiproliferative activity, boasting GI50 values of 27 nM and 25 nM, respectively. These hybrids exhibited dual inhibitory effects on both EGFR and BRAFV600E pathways. Compounds 28 and 30, akin to Erlotinib, displayed promising anticancer potential. Compound 30 emerged as the most potent inhibitor against cancer cell proliferation and BRAFV600E. Notably, both compounds 28 and 30 induced apoptosis by elevating levels of caspase-3 and -8 and Bax, while downregulating the antiapoptotic Bcl2 protein. Molecular docking studies confirmed the potential of compounds 28 and 30 to act as dual EGFR/BRAFV600E inhibitors. Furthermore, in silico ADMET prediction indicated that most synthesized 3-cyanopyridone/pyrazoline hybrids exhibit low toxicity and minimal adverse effects.

Abstract
Some new Bis-pyrazoline hybrids 8-17 with dual EGFR and BRAFV600E inhibitors have been developed. The target compounds were synthesized and tested in vitro against four cancer cell lines. Compounds 12, 15, and 17 demonstrated strong antiproliferative activity with GI50 values of 1.05 µM, 1.50 µM, and 1.20 µM, respectively. Hybrids showed dual inhibition of EGFR and BRAFV600E. Compounds 12, 15, and 17 inhibited EGFR-like erlotinib and exhibited promising anticancer activity. Compound 12 is the most potent inhibitor of cancer cell proliferation and BRAFV600E. Compounds 12 and 17 induced apoptosis by increasing caspase 3, 8, and Bax levels, and resulted in the downregulation of the antiapoptotic Bcl2. The molecular docking studies verified that compounds 12, 15, and 17 have the potential to be dual EGFR/BRAFV600E inhibitors. Additionally, in silico ADMET prediction revealed that most synthesized bis-pyrazoline hybrids have low toxicity and adverse effects. DFT studies for the two most active compounds, 12 and 15, were also carried out. The values of the HOMO and LUMO energies, as well as softness and hardness, were computationally investigated using the DFT method. These findings agreed well with those of the in vitro research and molecular docking study.

Abstract
Given the importance of both the CF3 group and the alkyne moiety in synthetic/medicinal chemistry, we report here the first example of efficient synthesis of 2-pyrazolines with a CF3- and alkyne-substituted quaternary carbon center. This methodology has the advantages of high functional group compatibility, the avoidance of base and open-flask conditions, easily available and easy to handle reagent, and broad substrate scope. Notably, this protocol allows for the late-stage functionalization of biologically active molecules and the gram-scale synthesis.

Abstract
A series of novel pyrazolinone chalcones 3-9 have been synthesized through the condensation of azo pyrazolinone derivatives with various aromatic aldehydes. Spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis have both corroborated this. Furthermore, all compounds were screened in silico for their ability to inhibit cancer proliferation and metastasis by targeting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. This inhibitory pathway might be an efficient approach for the death of cancer cells, angiogenesis, and metastasis prevention. Our results indicated that only compound 6b was the top-ranked. It demonstrated the highest binding energies of -11.1 and -10.7 kcal/mol against the target proteins PI3K and Akt, respectively; thus, it was chosen for in vitro studies. Compound 6b exhibited the most effective cytotoxic impact against the Caco cell line with IC50 of 23.34 ± 0.14 μM. Furthermore, it showed significant inhibition of PI3K/Akt proteins and oxidative stress, leading to elevated Bax and p53 expression, reduced Bcl-2 expression, and triggered cell cycle arrest at the sub-G0/G1 phase. Additionally, it showed significant downregulation of the Raf-1 gene, leading to ERK1/2 protein inhibition. These findings demonstrate that compound 6b obeyed Lipinski's rule of five and might be used as a favored scaffold for cancer treatment by inhibiting proliferation and metastasis via inhibition of the PI3K/Akt and Raf-1/ERK1/2 signaling pathways.

Abstract
Abstract:
The demand for natural product based drugs with less cost and efficient procedures has become a challenge to researchers. Benzalacetophenone is a natural product based species that is modified into numerous heterocyclic compounds including isoxazoline and isoxazole derivatives. The utility of isoxazoline and oxazole derivatives has been increased for the synthesis of the new and effective chemical entities to serve medicinal chemistry in the past few years. Isoxazoline and isoxazole are fascinating classes of heterocyclic compounds, which belong to N- and O-heterocycles, and are widely used as precursors for the development of drugs. This review highlights the recent work for the synthesis of mono and bis isoxazoline and isoxazole derivatives using stable benzalacetophenone and functionalization of isoxazoline and isoxazole, along with the prevailing biological properties.

Abstract
Cancer is a condition caused by many mechanisms (genetic, immune, oxidation, and inflammatory). Anticancer therapy aims to destroy or stop the growth of cancer cells. Resistance to treatment is theleading cause of the inefficiency of current standard therapies. Targeted therapies are the most effective due to the low number of side effects and low resistance. Among the small molecule natural compounds, flavonoids are of particular interest for theidentification of new anticancer agents. Chalcones are precursors to all flavonoids and have many biological activities. The anticancer activity of chalcones is due to the ability of these compounds to act on many targets. Natural chalcones, such as licochalcones, xanthohumol (XN), panduretin (PA), and loncocarpine, have been extensively studied and modulated. Modification of the basic structure of chalcones in order to obtain compounds with superior cytotoxic properties has been performed by modulating the aromatic residues, replacing aromatic residues with heterocycles, and obtaining hybrid molecules. A huge number of chalcone derivatives with residues such as diaryl ether, sulfonamide, and amine have been obtained, their presence being favorable for anticancer activity. Modification of the amino group in the structure of aminochalconesis always favorable for antitumor activity. This is why hybrid molecules of chalcones with different nitrogen hetercycles in the molecule have been obtained. From these, azoles (imidazole, oxazoles, tetrazoles, thiazoles, 1,2,3-triazoles, and 1,2,4-triazoles) are of particular importance for the identification of new anticancer agents.

Abstract
Three types of trifluoromethylated pyrazolidines, pyrazolines, and pyrazoles can be synthesized via divergent reaction of β-CF3-1, 3-enyne with hydrazines. The reaction with simple hydrazine monohydrate or sulfonyl hydrazines as nucleophiles produces 1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrazolines, whereas the reaction with acetyl hydrazine as nucleophiles affords 1,4,5-trisubstituted pyrazolidines. Using phenylhydrazine or tert-butylhydrazine as a reaction partner, the products are easily oxidized to form 1,4,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles.

Abstract
Manganese- and cobalt-catalyzed aminocyclization reactions of unsaturated hydrazones are reported. Whereas manganese catalysis provides access to pyrazoline and tetrahydropyridazine alcohols, cobalt catalysis for the first time paves the way for the selective formation of pyrazoline aldehydes. Furthermore, various functional groups including hydroperoxide, thiol derivatives, iodide, and bicyclopentane may be introduced via manganese-catalyzed ring-forming aminofunctionalization. A progesterone receptor antagonist was prepared using the aminocyclization protocol.

Synthesis, biological evaluation, and in silico studies of novel chalcone- and pyrazoline-based 1,3,5-triazines as potential anticancer agents. RSC Adv 2020; 10:34114-34129.

Abstract
A novel series of triazin-chalcones (7,8)a-g and triazin-N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)pyrazolines (9,10)a-g were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity against nine different cancer strains. Triazine ketones 5 and 6 were synthesized from the cyanuric chloride 1 by using stepwise nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom. These ketones were subsequently subjected to a Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction with aromatic aldehydes affording chalcones (7,8)a-g. Then, N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)pyrazolines (9,10)a-g were obtained by cyclocondensation reactions of the respective chalcones (7,8)a-g with 3,5-dichlorophenylhydrazine. Among all the evaluated compounds, chalcones 7d,g and 8g exhibited more potent in vitro anticancer activity, with outstanding GI50 values ranging from 0.422 to 14.9 μM and LC50 values ranging from 5.08 μM to >100 μM. In silico studies, for both ligand- and structure-based, were executed to explore the inhibitory nature of chalcones and triazine derivatives. The results suggested that the evaluated compounds could act as modulators of the human thymidylate synthase enzyme.

Abstract
Pyrazolines are five-membered heterocycles possessing two adjacent nitrogens. They have attracted significant attention from organic and medicinal chemists due to their potent biological activities and the numerous possibilities for structural diversification. In the last decade, they have been intensively studied as targets for potential anticancer therapeutics, producing a steady yearly rise in the number of published research articles. Many pyrazoline derivatives have shown remarkable cytotoxic activities in the form of heterocyclic or non-heterocyclic based hybrids, such as with coumarins, triazoles, and steroids. The enormous amount of related literature in the last 5 years prompted us to collect all these published data from screening against cancer cell lines, or protein targets like EGFR and structure activity relationship studies. Therefore, in the present review, a comprehensive account of the compounds containing the pyrazoline nucleus will be provided. The chemical groups and the structural modifications responsible for the activity will be highlighted. Moreover, emphasis will be given on recent examples from the literature and on the work of research groups that have played a key role in the development of this field.
