[PMID: 39072133 PMCID: PMC11270571 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c10490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
In pursuit of identifying small molecule inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), the synthesis of new 2-pyrazolines was performed efficiently. A modified spectrophotometric method was used to examine their inhibitory effects on AChE as well as butyrylcholinesterase. Four compounds (2a, 2g, 2j, and 2l) were identified as selective AChE inhibitors. Molecular docking studies were conducted to explore their potential interactions with the active site of AChE (PDB code: 4EY7). 1-(3-Nitrophenyl)-3-(thiophen-3-yl)-5-[4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-pyrazoline (2l) exerted significant AChE inhibitory action with an IC50 value of 0.040 μM close to donepezil (IC50 = 0.021 μM). In addition to π-π interactions with Tyr341, Tyr124, and Trp86 residues, compound 2l was also capable of forming two hydrogen bonds and a salt bridge at the active site of AChE thanks to its nitro group at the meta position of the phenyl moiety linked to the N 1 position of the pyrazoline scaffold. The higher inhibitory effect of compound 2l on AChE when compared to other compounds in this series might be explained by these additional interactions. Based on the in vitro parallel artificial membrane permeability assay, compound 2l was found to have high blood-brain barrier permeability. In vitro and in silico studies suggest that compound 2l is a potent inhibitor of AChE, which is an important target for neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease.

[PMID: 39014146 DOI: 10.1007/s11030-024-10906-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024]
Abstract
Pyrazole heterocycle is regarded as an extremely significant agent for the therapy of inflammation. Celecoxib, lonazolac, deracoxib, and phenylbutazone are examples of commercially approved pyrazole drugs with COX-2 inhibitory potential for curing inflammation. There have been recently many reviews for the biological significance of pyrazole derivatives. This review talks about pyrazole derivatives with anti-inflammatory activity and also sheds the light on the recent updates on pyrazole research with an emphasis on some synthetic pathways utilized to construct this privileged scaffold and structure activity relationship that accounts for the anti-inflammatory activity in an attempt to pave the opportunity for medicinal chemists to develop novel anti-inflammatory agents with better COX-2 selectivity.

Abstract
Depression is one of the most mutilating conditions in the world today. It has been difficult to make advancements toward better, more effective therapies since the introduction of antidepressant medicines in the late 1950s. One important field of medicinal chemistry is the synthesis of antidepressant molecules through metal-catalyzed procedures. The important role that different transition metals, including iron, nickel, ruthenium, and others, serve as catalysts in the synthesis of antidepressants is examined in this review. Key structural motifs included in antidepressant drugs such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and others can be synthesized in a variety of effective ways using metal-catalyzed steps. This review examines current developments in the catalytic synthesis of antidepressants and their potential application over the previous thirteen years.

Abstract
In an attempt to identify small molecules for the treatment of leukemia, 12 new pyrazolines (2a-l) were synthesized efficiently. WST-1 assay was performed to examine their cytotoxic features on HL-60 human acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), K562 human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cells. Four compounds (2e, 2f, 2g, and 2h) were determined as promising antileukemic agents on HL-60 and K562 cells. IC50 values of compounds 2f, 2h, 2e, 2g, and bortezomib for the HL-60 cell line were found as 33.52, 42.89, 48.02, 62.34, and 31.75 μM, while IC50 values of compounds 2h, 2g, 2f, 2e, and bortezomib for K562 cells were determined as 33.61, 50.23, 57.28, 76.90, and 42.69 μM, respectively. Further studies were carried out to shed light on the mechanism of antileukemic action. According to the data obtained by in vitro experiments, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(thiophen-3-yl)-5-(4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)-2-pyrazoline (2f) and 1-(3-bromophenyl)-3-(thiophen-3-yl)-5-(4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)-2-pyrazoline (2h) have proved to be potential antileukemic agents with remarkable cytotoxicity against HL-60 and K562 cells by activation of caspase 3, thereby inducing apoptosis.

Abstract
This study aims to synthesize some novel pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives, and investigate their biological activities. These compounds exhibited good to high antioxidant activities [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capabilities]. Among them, Ethyl 5-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-7-hydroxy-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (3h) showed the highest antioxidant activity [Half-maximal Inhibitory Concentration (IC50 )=15.34 μM] compared to ascorbic acid (IC50 =13.53 μM) as a standard compound. Their antibacterial activities were investigated against two Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli). The results showed that Ethyl 7-hydroxy-5-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (3i) has the best antibacterial activity against Gram-positive B. subtilis [Zone of Inhibition (ZOI)=23.0±1.4 mm, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)=312 μM]. Also, the cytotoxicity of these compounds was assessed against breast cancer cell lines [human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7)], which 7-Hydroxy-2-methyl-5-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile (3f) displayed the most cytotoxicity (IC50 =55.97 μg/mL), in contrast with Lapatinib (IC50 =79.38 μg/mL) as a known drug.

Abstract
A series of 32 thiourea-based urease inhibitors were synthesized and evaluated against native bacterial enzyme and whole cells of Sporosarcina pasteurii and Proteus mirabilis strains. The proposed inhibitors represented structurally diverse thiosemicarbazones and thiocarbohydrazones, benzyl-substituted thiazolyl thioureas, 1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamides, and dihydropirimidine-2(1H)-thiones. Kinetic characteristics with purified S. pasteurii enzyme determined low micromolar inhibitors within each structural group. (E)-2-(1-Phenylethylidene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide 19 (Ki = 0.39 ± 0.01 μM), (E)-2-(4-methylbenzylidene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide 16 (Ki = 0.99 ± 0.04 μM), and N'-((1E,2E)-1,3-diphenylallylidene)hydrazinecarbothiohydrazide 29 (Ki = 2.23 ± 0.19 μM) were used in modeling studies that revealed sulfur ion coordination of the active site nickel ion and hydrogen bonds between the amide group and the side chain of Asp363 and Ala366 carbonyl moiety. Whole-cell studies proved the activity of compounds in Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. Ureolysis control observed in P. mirabilis PCM 543 (e.g., IC50 = 304 ± 14 μM for 1-benzyl-3-(4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)thiazol-2-yl)thiourea 52) is a valuable achievement, as urease is recognized as a major virulence factor of this urinary tract pathogen.

Abstract
Synthesis of pyrazole-fused heterocycles has gained considerable attention in recent years due to their wide applications in medicinal chemistry. Aminopyrazoles are versatile building blocks for the synthesis of pyrazole-fused heterocycles by multicomponent reactions. Due to the presence of multiple reaction sites, they have fascinating chemical reactivity. Thus, they have been extensively used in multicomponent reactions for the construction of pyrazole-fused heterocycles. Although few review articles on the preparation and applications of aminopyrazoles are known in the literature, to date there is no dedicated review article on the construction of pyrazole-fused heterocycles exploring the reactivity of amino pyrazoles as C,N-binucleophiles in multicomponent reactions. Considering this, herein the multicomponent reactions for the construction of pyrazole-fused heterocycles exploring C,N-binucleophilic nature of amino pyrazoles have been reported.

Abstract
In recent years, molecular hybridization strategies have developed into a potent strategy for drug discovery. A series of novel thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazoles linked to the pyrazole moiety was designed and developed as anticancer agents by a molecular hybridization. Target compounds were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic tools as well as X-ray crystallography analysis as in the case of thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazole derivative 5a. The MTT assay was used to demonstrate the in vitro efficacy of compounds 5a-g and 7a-j on MCF-7 and HePG-2. The results showed that some cycloadducts such as bromophenyl-4-thioxo-2-thiazolidinone 3e, 4-methylphenyl derivative of thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazole 5d, and 6-substituted-thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazoles 7e-j displayed good to excellent IC50 in the range of 10.08 ± 1.5 to 25.95 ± 2.8 μg/mL against the MCF-7 cell line and from 7.83 ±2.1 to 13.37 ± 1.2 μg/mL against the HePG-2 cell line. To explore the enzymatic tests for isozymes hCAIX and hCAXII, the most promising eight compounds 3e, 5d, and 7e-j with IC50 ranging from 7.83 ± 2.1 to 25.95 ± 2.8 μM were chosen. Compound 7e exhibited an IC50 (0.067 ± 0.003 μM) similar to that of the standard drug AZA against CAIX (0.059 ± 0.003 μM)). For CAXII, the compound 7i had an IC50 equal to 0.123 ± 0.007 μM compared to that of AZA (0.083 ± 0.005 μM). In addition, using flow cytometry, cell cycle analysis and apoptosis studies in HePG-2 were performed for the two potent anticancer and selective carbonic anhydrase agents (7e and 7i). An enzymatic assay of these two compounds against caspase-9 was also examined. Interestingly, the molecular docking studies revealed that compounds 7e and 7i successfully embedded themselves in the active pockets of the CAIX and CAXII enzymes through different interactions. Overall, the novel thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazole-pyrazole hybrids (7e and 7i) were suggested to be potent and selective inhibitors of CAIX and CAXII.

Abstract
Promising inhibitory activities of the parasite multiplication were obtained upon evaluation of in vivo antimalarial activities of new pyrazolylpyrazoline derivatives against Plasmodium berghei infected mice. Further evaluation of 5b and 6a against chloroquine-resistant strain (RKL9) of P. falciparum showed higher potency than chloroquine. In vitro antileishmanial activity testing against Leishmania aethiopica promastigote and amastigote forms indicated that 5b, 6a and 7b possessed promising activity compared to miltefosine and amphotericin B deoxycholate. Moreover, antileishmanial activity reversal of the active compounds via folic and folinic acids showed comparable results to the positive control trimethoprim, indicating an antifolate mechanism via targeting leishmanial DHFR and PTR1. The compounds were non-toxic at 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg. In addition, docking of the most active compound against putative malarial target Pf-DHFR-TS and leishmanial PTR1 rationalised the observed activities. Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed a stable and high potential binding of 7a against leishmanial PTR1.

Abstract
A new series of sulfonamides, 8a-b, 10, 12, and 14a-b, were synthesized by N-sulfonation reaction with sulfonyl chlorides 6a-b. Five new series of chalcone-sulfonamide hybrids (16-20)a-f were prepared via Claisen–Schmidt condensation of the newly obtained sulfonamides with aromatic aldehydes 15a-f in basic medium. Chalcones substituted with chlorine at position 4 of each series were used as precursors for the generation of their five-membered heterocyclic pyrazoline (22-23)a-d, (24-25)a-b and carbothioamide 27a-f derivatives. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer and antituberculosis activities. To determine their anticancer activity, compounds were screened against sixty human cancer cell lines at a single dose (10 μM). Compounds 17a-c were highly active against LOX IMVI (melanoma), with IC50 values of 0.34, 0.73 and 0.54 μM, respectively. Chalcone 18e showed remarkable results against the entire panel of leukemia cell lines with IC50 values between 0.99–2.52 μM. Moreover, compounds 20e and 20f displayed growth inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv at concentrations below 10 μM. Although they showed low selectivity in cytotoxicity tests against the Vero cell line, further optimization could advance the potential biological activity of the selected compounds.

Abstract
Twenty-five new hits of spirooxindole analogs 8a-y engrafted with indole and pyrazole scaffolds were designed and constructed via a [3+2]cycloaddition (32CA) reaction starting from three components: new chalcone-based indole and pyrazole scaffolds 5a-d, substituted isatins 6a-c, and secondary amines 7a-d. The potency of the compounds were assessed in modulating cholinesterase (AChE) activity using Ellman's method. Compounds 8i and 8y showed the strongest acetylcholine esterase inhibition (AChEI) with IC50 values of 24.1 and 27.8 μM, respectively. Molecular docking was used to study their interaction with the active site of hAChE.

Abstract
Pyrazoles are considered privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Previous reviews have discussed the importance of pyrazoles and their biological activities; however, few have dealt with the chemistry and the biology of heteroannulated derivatives. Therefore, we focused our attention on recent topics, up until 2020, for the synthesis of pyrazoles, their heteroannulated derivatives, and their applications as biologically active moieties. Moreover, we focused on traditional procedures used in the synthesis of pyrazoles.

Abstract
A new series of 1,3,5-trisubstituted 2-pyrazolines for the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were synthesized. The designed structures include a COX-2 pharmacophore SO2 CH3 at the para-position of the phenyl ring located at C-5 of a pyrazoline scaffold. The synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro COX-1/COX-2 inhibition and cell toxicity against human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines HT-29. The lead compound (4-chlorophenyl){5-[4-(methanesulfonyl)phenyl]-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl}methanone (16) showed significant COX-2 inhibition (IC50 =0.05±0.01 μM), and antiproliferative activity (IC50 =5.46±4.71 μM). Molecular docking studies showed that new pyrazoline-based compounds interact via multiple hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond interactions with key binding site residues of the COX-2 enzyme.

Abstract
Neuropsychiatric disorders are diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) which are characterised by complex pathomechanisms that including homeostatic failure, malfunction, atrophy, pathology remodelling and reactivity anomaly of the neuronal system where treatment options remain challenging. β-Carboline (βC) alkaloids are scaffolds of structurally diverse tricyclic pyrido[3,4-b]indole alkaloid with vast occurrence in nature. Their unique structural features which favour interactions with enzymes and protein receptor targets account for their potent neuropharmacological properties. However, our current understanding of their biological mechanisms for these beneficial effects, especially for neuropsychiatric disorders is sparse. Therefore, we present a comprehensive review of the scientific progress in the last two decades on the prospective pharmacology and physiology of the βC alkaloids in the treatment of some neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, brain tumour, essential tremor, epilepsy and seizure, licking behaviour, dystonia, agnosia, spasm, positive ingestive response as demonstrated in non-clinical models. The current evidence supports that βC alkaloids offer potential therapeutic agents against most of these disorders and amenable for further drug design.

Abstract
The contribution of oxidative stress has been described in numerous studies as one of the main pathways involved in the pathophysiology of anxiety and its comorbidities, such as chronic pain. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the anxiolytic-like, antiallodynic, and anti-hyperalgesic effects of 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-4-(phenylselanyl)-1H-pyrazole (SePy) in response to acute restraint stress (ARS) in mice through the modulation of oxidative stress and neuroendocrine responses. Mice were restrained for 2 h followed by SePy (1 or 10 mg/kg, intragastrically) treatment. Behavioral, and biochemical tests were performed after further 30 min. The treatment with SePy reversed (i) the decreased time spent and the number of entries in the open arms of the elevated plus-maze apparatus, (ii) the decreased time spent in the central zone of the open field test and the increased number of grooming, (iii) the increased number of marbles buried, (iv) the increased response frequency of Von Frey Hair stimulation, and (v) the decreased latency time to nociceptive response in the hot plate test stress induced by ARS. Biochemically, SePy reversed ARS-induced increased levels of plasma corticosterone, and reversed the ARS-induced alterations in the levels of reactive species, lipid peroxidation, and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in the prefrontal cortices and hippocampi of mice. Moreover, a molecular docking approach suggested that SePy may interact with the active site of the glucocorticoid receptor. Altogether, these results indicate that SePy attenuated anxiolytic-like behavior, hyperalgesia, and mechanical allodynia while modulating oxidative stress and neuroendocrine responses in stressed mice.

Abstract
Pyrazoles represent a significant class of heterocyclic compounds that exhibit pharmacological properties. The present study aimed to investigate the antioxidant potential of pyrazol derivative compounds in brain of mice in vitro and the effect of pyrazol derivative compounds in the oxidative damage and toxicity parameters in mouse brain and plasma of mice. The compounds tested were 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-4-(phenylselanyl)-1H-pyrazol (1a), 3,5-dimethyl-4-(phenylselanyl)-1H-pyrazole (2a), 4-((4-methoxyphenyl)selanyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (3a), 4-((4-chlorophenyl)selanyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (4a), 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-4-(phenylthio)-1H-pyrazole (1b), 3,5-dimethyl-4-(phenylthio)-1H-pyrazole (2b), 4-((4-methoxyphenyl)thio)-3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (3b), 4-((4-chlorophenyl)thio)-3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (4b), and 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (1c). In vitro, 4-(arylcalcogenyl)-1H-pyrazoles, at low molecular range, reduced lipid peroxidation and reactive species in mouse brain homogenates. The compounds also presented ferric-reducing ability as well nitric oxide-scavenging activity. Especially compounds 1a, 1b, and 1c presented efficiency to 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl-scavenging activity. Compounds 1b and 1c presented 2,20 -azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)-scavenging activity. In vivo assays demonstrated that compounds 1a, 1b, and 1c (300 mg/kg, intragastric, a single administration) did not cause alteration in the of δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity, an enzyme that exhibits high sensibility to prooxidants situations, in the brain, liver, and kidney of mice. Compound 1c reduced per se the lipid peroxidation in liver and brain of mice. Toxicological assays demonstrate that compounds 1a, 1b, and 1c did not present toxicity in the aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, urea, and creatinine levels in the plasma. In conclusion, the results demonstrated the antioxidant action of pyrazol derivative compounds in in vitro assays. Furthermore, the results showed low toxicity of compounds in in vivo assays.

Abstract
Animal models in neuropsychiatric research need validation. One way to address external validity is systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The present study presents a meta-analysis of the effects of antidepressants in the mouse tail suspension test (TST). A PubMed search identified studies that examined imipramine and fluoxetine effects in the TST. Inclusion criteria were testing in the light phase; trial duration was six minutes; immobility time scored 6 or (last) 4 min; adult mice; acute intraperitoneal (IP) administration. Effect sizes (ES) were estimated using Cohen's d, heterogeneity of ES with Cochran's Q test, correlations between dose and ES with Pearson's correlation and differences between strains with Analysis of variance. Results show that antidepressants decrease immobility time in the TST and a correlation between drug dose and ES but no effects of strain. We suggest that the TST is a valid tool to quantitatively, consistently and reproducibly capture the immobility-reducing aspects of fluoxetine and imipramine and that the lack of strain effects is due to small number of experiments in many of the strains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyrazole and its derivatives are known to exhibit significant biological and pharmacological activities such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, analgesic, antiviral, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-glycemic, antiamoebic, and antidepressive. Considering the immense biological properties, pyrazole is one of the most widely studied nitrogen- containing heterocyclic nuclei. Fused pyrazole derivatives are composed of the pyrazole nucleus attached to other heterocyclic moieties. OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is the synthesis of some new pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and pyrazolo[5,1-c]1,2,4-triazine derivatives with potential anticancer and antimicrobial activities. METHODS The in vitro growth inhibitory rates (%) and inhibitory growth activity (as measured by IC50) of the newly synthesized compounds were determined against the MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cell line in comparison with the well-known anticancer drug doxorubicin as the standard, using the MTT viability assay. The data generated were used to plot a dose-response curve from which the concentration (μM) of tested compounds required to kill 50% of the cell population (IC50) was determined. Cytotoxic activity was expressed as the mean IC50 of three independent experiments. The difference between inhibitory activities of all compounds with different concentrations was statistically significant p < 0.001. All compounds were structurally characterized by different spectroscopic techniques EI-MS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR, and evaluated for their anticancer and antimicrobial activities (antibacterial and antifungal). RESULTS Several pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized from the reaction of 2-(4- (5-amino-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione with the appropriate active methylene compounds in boiling ethanol. Also, pyrazolo[5,1-c]triazines were obtained through the reaction of 2-(4-(5-(chlorodiazenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione with various active methylene compounds in ethanol containing sodium acetate at 0-5 oC. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of elemental analysis, spectral data, and alternative synthetic routes whenever possible. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antitumor activity against a breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and a human colon cancer cell line (HCT-116). The results revealed that the tested compounds showed high variation in the inhibitory growth rates and activities against the tested tumor cell lines. All newly synthesized compounds screen towards microorganisms e.g. Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, and Fungi. CONCLUSION 2-(4-(5-Amino-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione proved to be a useful precursor for the synthesis of various pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and pyrazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4- triazines. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral data and elemental analyses. The newly synthesized compounds were tested in vitro against the MCF-7, HCT-116 human cancer cell line and compared with doxorubicin as the standard, using the MTT viability assay. Most of the tested compounds were found to have moderate to high anticancer activity.

Abstract
A series of substituted pyrazole compounds (1-8 and 9a, b) were synthesized and their structure was characterized by IR, NMR, and Mass analysis. These obtained novel pyrazole derivatives (1-8 and 9a, b) were emerged as effective inhibitors of the cytosolic carbonic anhydrase I and II isoforms (hCA I and II) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymes with Ki values in the range of 1.03 ± 0.23-22.65 ± 5.36 µM for hCA I, 1.82 ± 0.30-27.94 ± 4.74 µM for hCA II, and 48.94 ± 9.63-116.05 ± 14.95 µM for AChE, respectively. Docking studies were performed for the most active compounds, 2 and 5, and binding mode between the compounds and the receptors were determined.

Abstract
Aim: Novel open chain and cyclized derivatives containing pyrazole scaffold were designed, synthesized and evaluated as antileishmanial compounds. Methodology & results: In silico reverse docking experiment suggested Leishmania major pteridine reductase (Lm-PTR1) as a putative target for the synthesized compounds. In vitro antileishmanial screening against L. major promastigotes and amastigotes using miltefosine and amphotericin B as references showed that the majority of the compounds displayed activity higher than miltefosine. Compounds 3i and 5 showed the highest antileishmanial activity with IC50 values of 1.45 ± 0.08 μM and 2.30 ± 0.09 μM, respectively, for the amastigote form. In silico drug-likeness and toxicity predictions showed acceptable profiles for most of the compounds, which were validated by experimental toxicity studies. Conclusion: This study offers promising entities for antileishmanial activity.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, and age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons caused by the accumulation of free radicals and oxidative stress. Based on the neuroprotective properties of 2-pyrazoline derivatives, in the current work, 1-(phenyl/4-substituted phenyl)-3-(2-furanyl/thienyl)-5-aryl-2-pyrazolines (3a⁻i, 4a⁻i) were synthesized via the cyclization of the chalcones (1, 2) with suitable phenylhydrazine hydrochloride derivatives. All these compounds were investigated for their neuroprotective effects using an in vitro 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced neurotoxicity model of PD in the rat pheochromocytoma (PC-12) Adh cell line. In addition, some different pharmacokinetic parameters of all compounds were in silico predicted by the QikProp module of Schrödinger's Maestro molecular modeling package. 4-Methylsulfonylphenyl substituted compounds 3h (20%) and 4h (23%) were determined as the most promising neuroprotective agents related to their inductive roles in cell viability when compared with the 6-OHDA-positive control group (43% and 42%, respectively). Moreover, in silico pharmacokinetic results indicated that all compounds were within the acceptable range intended for human use. According to both in vitro and in silico studies, compounds 3h and 4h draw attention as potential orally bioavailable therapeutic drug candidates against neurodegeneration in PD.

Abstract
In this study, 4-[5-aryl-3-(thiophen-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl] benzenesulfonamides were synthesized, and inhibition effects on AChE, hCA I, and hCA II were evaluated. Ki values of the compounds toward hCA I were in the range of 24.2 ± 4.6-49.8 ± 12.8 nm, while they were in the range of 37.3 ± 9.0-65.3 ± 16.7 nm toward hCA II. Ki values of the acetazolamide were 282.1 ± 19.7 nm and 103.60 ± 27.6 nm toward both isoenzymes, respectively. The compounds inhibited AChE with Ki in the range of 22.7 ± 10.3-109.1 ± 27.0 nm, whereas the tacrine had Ki value of 66.5 ± 13.8 nm. Electronic structure calculations at M06-L/6-31 + G(d,p)//AM1 level and molecular docking studies were also performed to enlighten inhibition mechanism and to support experimental findings. Results obtained from calculations of molecular properties showed that the compounds obey drug-likeness properties. The experimental and computational findings obtained in this study might be useful in the design of novel inhibitors against hCA I, hCA II, and AChE.

Abstract
Herein we report the synthesis of a new series of aromatic sulfamates designed considering the sulfonamide COX-2 selective inhibitors celecoxib and valdecoxib as lead compounds. These latter were shown to possess important human carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitory properties, with the inhibition of the tumor-associated isoform hCA IX likely being co-responsible of the celecoxib anti-tumor effects. Bioisosteric substitution of the pyrazole or isoxazole rings from these drugs with the pyrazoline one was considered owing to the multiple biological activities ascribed to this latter heterocycle and paired with the replacement of the sulfonamide of celecoxib and valdecoxib with its equally potent bioisoster sulfamate. The synthesized derivatives were screened for the inhibition of four human carbonic anhydrase isoforms, namely hCA I, II, IV, and IX. All screened sulfamates exhibited great potency enhancement in inhibiting isoform II and IV, widely involved in glaucoma (KIs in the range of 0.4-12.4 nM and 17.7 and 43.3 nM, respectively), compared to the lead compounds, whereas they affected the tumor-associated hCA IX as potently as celecoxib.

Abstract
New pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on AsPC-1 human pancreatic adenocarcinoma, U87 and U251 human glioblastoma cell lines. 1-[((5-(4-Methylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio)acetyl]-3-(2-thienyl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (11) was found to be the most effective anticancer agent against AsPC-1 and U251 cell lines, with IC50 values of 16.8 µM and 11.9 µM, respectively. Tumor selectivity of compound 11 was clearly seen between Jurkat human leukemic T-cell line and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Due to its promising anticancer activity, compound 11 was chosen for apoptosis/necrosis evaluation and DNA-cleavage analysis in U251 cells. Compound 11-treated U251 cells exhibited apoptotic phenotype at low concentration (1.5 µM). DNA-cleaving efficiency of this ligand was more significant than cisplatin and was clearly enhanced by Fe(II)-H₂O₂-ascorbic acid systems. This result pointed out the relationship between the DNA cleavage and the cell death.
