Abstract
A novel series of trifluoromethyl-containing quinazoline derivatives with a variety of functional groups was designed, synthesized, and tested for their antitumor activity by following a pharmacophore hybridization strategy. Most of the 20 compounds displayed moderate to excellent antiproliferative activity against five different cell lines (PC3, LNCaP, K562, HeLa, and A549). After three rounds of screening and structural optimization, compound 10 b was identified as the most potent one, with IC50 values of 3.02, 3.45, and 3.98 μM against PC3, LNCaP, and K562 cells, respectively, which were comparable to the effect of the positive control gefitinib. To further explore the mechanism of action of 10 b against cancer, experiments focusing on apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest, and cell migration assay were conducted. The results showed that 10 b was able to induce apoptosis and prevent tumor cell migration, but had no effect on the cell cycle of tumor cells.

Abstract
A novel approach to chemoselective synthesis of biologically important CF3-subsituted pyrazolines was developed via a Lewis base catalyzed intermolecular triazene cycloaddition reaction of an array of terminal/internal alkenes with CF3CHN2. This strategy features a catalytic amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, high yields (up to 95%), wide substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance (54 examples). Importantly, we preformed scaffold diversification of a panel of known pharmaceuticals, natural products, and bioactive heterocycles to generate the corresponding pyrazoline derivatives with potential broad bioactivities for further development.
