Abstract
Herein, a general and practical temperature-controlled approach for the divergent synthesis of pyrazoles and 1-tosyl-1H-pyrazoles via electrophilic cyclization in the absence of transition-metal catalysts and oxidants was developed. The desired products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields from common starting materials in both ionic liquids and ethanol by simply tuning the reaction temperature. This strategy employs easily synthesized substrates, mild reaction conditions, and excellent functional-group tolerance.

Abstract
Cancer remains the leading cause of death in the world despite the significant advancements made in anticancer drug discovery. This study is aimed to computationally evaluate the efficacy of 63 in-house synthesized pyrazole derivatives targeted to bind with prominent cancer targets namely EGFR, RSK1, RAF1, PARP2 and LIN28B known to be expressed, respectively, in lung, colon, skin, ovarian and pancreatic cancer cells. Initially, we perform the molecular docking investigations for all pyrazole compounds with a comparison to known standard drugs for each target. Docking studies have revealed that some pyrazole compounds possess better binding affinity scores than standard drug compounds. Thereafter, a long-range of 1 μs molecular dynamic (MD) simulation study for top ranked docked compounds with all respective proteins was carried out to assess the interaction stability in a dynamic environment. The results suggested that the top ranked complexes showed a stable interaction profile for a longer period of time. The outcome of this study suggests that pyrazole compounds, M33, M36, M76 and M77, are promising molecular candidates that can modulate the studied target proteins significantly in comparison to their known inhibitor based on their selective binding interactions profile. Furthermore, ADME-T profile has been explored to check for the drug-likeness and pharmacokinetics profiles and found that all proposed compounds exhibited acceptable values for being a potential drug-like candidate with non-toxic characteristics. Overall, extensive computational investigations indicate that the four proposed pyrazole inhibitors/modulators studied against each respective target protein will be helpful for future cancer therapeutic developments.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
A series of novel substituted pyrazole-fused oleanolic acid derivative were synthesized and evaluated as selective α-glucosidase inhibitors. Among these analogs, compounds 4a-4f exhibited more potent inhibitory activities compared with their methyl ester derivatives, and standard drugs acarbose and miglitol as well. Besides, all these analogs exhibited good selectivity towards α-glucosidase over α-amylase. Analog 4d showed potent inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (IC50 =2.64±0.13 μM), and greater selectivity towards α-glucosidase than α-amylase by ∼33-fold. Inhibition kinetics showed that compound 4d was a non-competitive α-glucosidase inhibitor, which was consistent with the result of its simulation molecular docking. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 4a-4f towards hepatic LO2 and HepG2 cells was tested.

Abstract
New nanocomposites containing zirconium were synthesized using microwave irradiation. Their structure was confirmed by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) curves, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms. After the structure confirmation of the zirconium magnetic nanocomposite, the catalytic properties in the synthesis of pyrazole derivatives were investigated. Next, the biological activities of the zirconium magnetic nanocomposite, such as the antibacterial and antifungal activities, were investigated. The research results showed that the zirconium magnetic nanocomposite has high catalytic properties and can be used as a magnetic nanocatalyst for synthesizing heterocyclic compounds such as pyrazole derivatives in addition to having high biological properties. The unique properties of the nanoparticles can be attributed to their synthesis method and microwave radiation.

Abstract
The combination of two compounds with known antimicrobial activity may, in some cases, be an effective way to limit the resistance to antibiotics of specific pathogens. Molecules carrying pyrazole moiety are well known for their bioactive properties and have wide applicability in the medical and pharmaceutical field. Surfactants have, among other useful properties, the ability to affect the growth of microorganisms. The paper reports on the effect of the combination of two pyrazole derivatives, (1H-pyrazol-1-yl) methanol 1-hydroxymethylpyrazole (SAM1) and 1,1'methandiylbis (1H-pyrazol) (AM1), with sorbitan monolaurate (polysorbate 21, Tween 21, T21) on the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results demonstrated a different ability of this combination to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. T21 intensified the inhibitory activity of the pyrazoles to a greater extent in the Gram-negative bacteria compared to the Gram-positive ones, a fact confirmed by time-kill experiments. The experimental data showed that the association of T21 with the pyrazoles led to the increased release of intracellular material and a more intense uptake of crystal violet, which indicates that the potentiation of the antibacterial effect was based on the modification of the normal permeability of bacterial cells. T21 acted as a modulating factor and increased the permeability of the membrane, allowing the accelerated penetration of the pyrazoles inside the bacterial cells. This fact is important in controlling the global increase in microbial resistance to antibiotics and antimicrobials and finding viable solutions to overcome the antibiotic crisis. The paper highlights the possibility of using non-toxic surfactant molecules in antimicrobial combinations with practical applications. This could widen the range of adjuvants in applications which would be useful in the control of resistant microorganisms.

Abstract
Interest in the third-row transition metal osmium and its compounds as potential anticancer agents has grown in recent years. Here, we synthesized the osmium(VI) nitrido complex Na[OsVI(N)(tpm)2] (tpm = [5-(Thien-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]methanol), which exhibited a greater inhibitory effect on the cell viabilities of the cervical, ovarian, and breast cancer cell lines compared with cisplatin. Proteomics analysis revealed that Na[OsVI(N)(tpm)2] modulates the expression of protein-transportation-associated, DNA-metabolism-associated, and oxidative-stress-associated proteins in HepG2 cells. Perturbation of protein expression activity by the complex in cancer cells affects the functions of the mitochondria, resulting in high levels of cellular oxidative stress and low rates of cell survival. Moreover, it caused G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and caspase-mediated apoptosis of HepG2 cells. This study reveals a new high-valent osmium complex as an anticancer agent candidate modulating protein homeostasis.

Abstract
Seven novel pyrazole derivatives (4a-g) and four novel starting compounds incorporating substituted pyridine moieties were synthesized successfully. Cell viability assay for the tested compounds was performed, and the inhibitory concentrationlogarithmic 50 (LogIC50 ) values of the compounds were calculated after a 24-h treatment. Four of the examined compounds (3d, 3g, 4f, and 4g) showed comparable cytotoxic activity against CaCo-2 compared to the standard drug docetaxel at 0.1 and 1 μM concentrations. Although the LogIC50 of docetaxel was -0.678 μM for CaCo-2 cells at 24 h, the LogIC50 values of compounds were -0.794, -0.567, -0.657, and -0.498 μM, respectively. Five of the compounds (2d, 2g, 3d, 3g, and 4e) showed comparable cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 at 0.1 μM concentration compared to docetaxel (p < 0.05). Docking studies revealed the compounds have a good affinity to the active site of the human topoisomerase II β enzyme. The antioxidant capacities of all compounds were determined using both 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and metal chelation methods. Although the compounds did not show significant antioxidant activity, relatively effective are compounds 3c, 3d, and 3g, which are hydrazine derivatives with approximately 50% antioxidant activity of standard antioxidants at concentrations of 62.5 and 125 μg/ml.

Abstract
A series of highly functionalized pyrazole derivatives has been prepared by a one-pot, versatile and regioselective procedure. Pyrazoles 1-29 were tested in cell-based assay to assess their antiproliferative activity against a panel of tumour cells. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of prepared compounds was evaluated against normal human fibroblasts. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized molecules emerged to be affected by the nature of the substituents of the pyrazole scaffold and derivatives 21-23 proved to inhibit the growth of melanoma and cervical cancer cells. Compound 23 was identified as the most active derivative and docking simulations predicted its ability to interact with estrogen receptors.

Abstract
Pyrazole derivatives correspond to a family of heterocycle molecules with important pharmacological and physiological applications. At present, we perform a density functional theory (DFT) calculations and a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) evaluation on a series of 1-(4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl) ethan-1-one and 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide derivatives as an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitory activity. We thus propose a virtual screening protocol based on a machine-learning study. This theoretical model relates the studied compounds' biological activity to their calculated physicochemical descriptors. Moreover, the linear regression function is used to validate the model via the evaluation of Q2 ext and Q2 cv parameters for external and internal validations, respectively. Our QSAR model shows a good correlation between observed activities IC50 and predicted ones. Our model allows us to mitigate time-consuming problems and waste chemical and biological products in the preclinical phases.

Abstract
A series of benzenesulfonamides incorporating pyrazole- and pyridazinecarboxamides decorated with several bulky moieties has been obtained by original procedures. The new derivatives were investigated for the inhibition of four physiologically crucial human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.2.1.1) isoforms, hCA I and II (cytosolic enzymes) as well as hCA IX and XII (transmembrane, tumor-associated isoforms). Examples of isoform-selective inhibitors were obtained for all four enzymes investigated here, and a computational approach was employed for explaining the observed selectivity, which may be useful in drug design approaches for obtaining inhibitors with pharmacological applications useful as antiglaucoma, diuretic, antitumor or anti-cerebral ischemia drugs.

Abstract
Chagas disease, a chronic and silent disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is currently a global public health problem. The treatment of this neglected disease relies on benznidazole and nifurtimox, two nitroheterocyclic drugs that show limited efficacy and severe side effects. The failure of potential drug candidates in Chagas disease clinical trials highlighted the urgent need to identify new effective chemical entities and more predictive tools to improve translational success in the drug development pipeline. In this study, we designed a small library of pyrazole derivatives (44 analogs) based on a hit compound, previously identified as a T. cruzi cysteine protease inhibitor. The in vitro phenotypic screening revealed compounds 3g, 3j, and 3m as promising candidates, with IC50 values of 6.09 ± 0.52, 2.75 ± 0.62, and 3.58 ± 0.25 µM, respectively, against intracellular amastigotes. All pyrazole derivatives have good oral bioavailability prediction. The structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed increased potency of 1-aryl-1H-pyrazole-imidazoline derivatives with the Br, Cl, and methyl substituents in the para-position. The 3m compound stands out for its trypanocidal efficacy in 3D microtissue, which mimics tissue microarchitecture and physiology, and abolishment of parasite recrudescence in vitro. Our findings encourage the progression of the promising candidate for preclinical in vivo studies.

Abstract
The transformation of a normal cell into a tumor cell is one of the initial steps in cell cycle deregulation. The cell cycle is regulated by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) that belong to the protein kinase family. CDK2 is an enchanting target for specific genotypes tumors since cyclin E is selective for CDK2 and the deregulation of specific cancer forms. Thus, CDKs inhibitor specifically CDK2/cyclin A-E has the potential to be a valid cancer target as per the currently undergoing clinical trials. Mostly pyrazole scaffolds have shown selectivity and potency for CDK2 inhibitors. This review demonstrates pyrazole and pyrazole fused with other heterocyclic rings for anti-proliferative activity. Based on the in vitro and molecular docking studies, the IC50 value of various hybrids is revealed to display the most potent analogs for CDK2 inhibition. Thus, the review emphasizes various lead analogs of pyrazole hybrids which can be found to be very potent and selective for anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
Two new pyrazole derivatives, namely compound 1 and compound 2, have been synthesized, and their biological activity has been evaluated. Monocrystals of the obtained compounds were thoroughly investigated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy. The results gathered from all three techniques are in good agreement, provide complete information about the structures of 1 and 2, and confirm their high purity. Thermal properties were studied using thermogravimetric analysis; both 1 and 2 are stable at room temperature. In order to better characterize 1 and 2, some physicochemical and biological properties have been evaluated using ADMET analysis. The cytotoxic activity of both compounds was determined using the MTT assay on the A549 cell line in comparison with etoposide. It was determined that compound 2 was effective in the inhibition of human lung adenocarcinoma cell growth and may be a promising compound for the treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
Two novel coordination complexes, namely, dichlorido[3,5-dimethyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)-1H-pyrazole-κN2]zinc(II), [ZnCl2(C10H11N3)], 1, and aquachloridobis[3,5-dimethyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)-1H-pyrazole-κN2]nickel(II) chloride monohydrate, [NiCl(C10H11N3)(H2O)]Cl·H2O, 2, have been synthesized. The crystal structure analyses revealed that complexes 1 and 2 are mononuclear and have ZnN2Cl2 distorted tetrahedral and NiN4OCl distorted octahedral structures, respectively. Complex 1 displays a dimer in the crystal structure, while complex 2 forms a chain along the [010] direction. The fluorescence properties of both complexes were also investigated. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database for other complexes of the ligand 3,5-dimethyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (L) shows that there exist different coordination polyhedra with different arrangements as monomers, dimers and polycyclic structures. Here it has also been demonstrated that there is a relationship between the crystal packing and the fluorescence properties of ZnII and CdII complexes of L.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The androgen receptor (AR) signaling functions is a critical driving force for the progression of prostate cancer (PCa) to bring about anti-prostate cancer agents, and AR has been proved to be an effective therapeutic target even for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). OBJECTIVE In order to discover novel anti prostate cancer agents, we performed structural modifications based on the lead compounds T3 and 10e. METHODS A set of 1-methyl- 1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against both expressions of prostate-specific antigen(PSA) and growth of PCa cell lines. RESULTS Compound H24 was found to be able to completely block PSA expression at 10 µM, and showed prominent antiproliferative activity in both the LNCaP cell line (GI 50 = 7.73 µM) and PC-3 cell line (GI 50 = 7.07 µM). CONCLUSIONS These preliminary data supported a further evaluation of compound H24 as a potential agent to treat prostate cancer.

Abstract
Twenty-seven analogues of pyrazole derivatives were synthesized and subjected to structure-activity relationship studies on inducing the triple response in Arabidopsis seedlings. We found that 3,4-Dichloro-N-methyl-N-[(1-allyl-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methyl]benzenesulfonamide (C26) exhibits potent activity on inducing the triple response in Arabidopsis seedlings. C26 (10 µM) induced an exaggerated apical hook in Arabidopsis seedlings. The curvature of the hook of the Arabidopsis seedlings was found to be 300±23 degrees, while ethephon (10 µM), a prodrug of ethylene, and a non-chemically treated control were found to be 128±19 and 58±16 degrees, respectively. C26 also exhibited potent activity on reducing stem elongation. The hypocotyl length of Arabidopsis seedlings treated with C26 (10 µM) was found to be 0.25±0.02 cm, while those of ethephon-treated (10 µM) and treated controls were found to be 0.69±0.06 and 1.15±0.01 cm, respectively. C26 displayed potency inhibiting the root growth of Arabidopsis seedlings similar to that of ethephon.

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.

Abstract
To explore small molecules with ethylene-like biological activity, we conducted a triple response-based assay system for chemical library screening. Among 9600 compounds, we found N-[(1,3,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methyl]-N-methyl-2-naphthalenesulfonamide (EH-1) displayed promising biological activity on inducing a triple response in Arabidopsis seedlings. Chemical synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis of EH-1 analogues with different substitution patterns on the phenyl ring structure of the sulfonamide group indicated that 3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-(1,3,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl-methyl) benzenesulfonamide (8) exhibits the most potent biological activity. To determine the mechanism of action, we conducted RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis of the effect of EH-1 and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC), the precursor of ethylene biosynthesis, following the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmation. Data obtained from RNA-Seq analysis indicated that EH-1 and ACC significantly induced the expression of 39 and 48 genes, respectively (above 20 fold of control), among which five genes are up-regulated by EH-1 as well as by ACC. We also found 67 and 32 genes that are significantly down-regulated, respectively, among which seven genes are in common. For quantitative RT-PCR analysis. 12 up-regulated genes were selected from the data obtained from RNA-Seq analysis. We found a good correlation of quantitative RT-PCR analysis and RNA-Seq analysis. Based on these results, we conclude that the action mechanism of EH-1 on inducing triple response in Arabidopsis is different from that of ACC.

Abstract
A series of novel pyrazole-5-carboxylate containing N-triazole derivatives 3,4; different heterocyclic amines 7a–b and 10a–b; pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine containing sulfa drugs 14a,b; and oxypyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives 17, 19, 21 has been synthesized. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was elucidated on the basis of analytical and spectral analyses. All compounds have been screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against three gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as three fungi. The results revealed that compounds 14b and 17 had more potent antibacterial activity against all bacterial strains than reference drug Cefotaxime. Moreover compounds 4, 7b, and 12b showed excellent antifungal activities against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans in low inhibitory concentrations but slightly less than the reference drug miconazole against Aspergillus flavus.

Abstract
In this in vitro study, a series of novel pyrazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated against five human cancer cell lines (PC3, A549, HL60, HCT116, and SW620) for their antiproliferative and p53-MDM2 binding inhibitory activities. Although biological evaluations showed that this series of compounds possessed weak p53-MDM2 inhibitory activities, most of them displayed moderate to potent antiproliferative activities against the tested cells lines. Compound 11c exhibited the best potency for MDM2 (FP-IC50 = 29.22 μm) and demonstrated antiproliferative activities in response to the five tested cell lines (IC50 = 4.09-16.82 μm). Compared with the positive control Nutlin-1, there was enhanced antiproliferative activity to p53-mutated or p53-deficient cell lines (SW620, HL60, and PC3).

Abstract
In the title compound, C18H16N4O, the planes of the phenyl rings are approximately perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle = 78.07 (8)°] and form dihedral angles of 56.43 (8) and 24.59 (8)° with the pyrazole ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form one-dimensional chains parallel to the [010] direction.

Abstract
In order to discover new compounds with good fungicidal activities, 32 pyrazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), and their fungicidal activities against Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, Valsa mali Miyabe et Yamada, Thanatephorus cucumeris (Frank) Donk, Fusarium oxysporum (S-chl) f.sp. cucumerinum Owen, and Fusarium graminearum Schw were tested. The bioassay results indicated that most of the derivatives exhibited considerable antifungal activities, especially compound 26 containing a p-trifluoromethyl- phenyl moiety showed the highest activity, with EC50 values of 2.432, 2.182, 1.787, 1.638, 6.986, and 6.043 μg/mL against B. cinerea, R. solani, V. mali, T. cucumeris, F. oxysporum, and F. graminearum, respectively. Moreover, the activities of compounds such as compounds 27-32 were enhanced by introducing isothiocyanate and carboxamide moieties to the 5-position of the pyrazole ring.

Abstract
The title compound, C17H11F5N4O, is described and compared with two closely related analogues in the literature. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, linked by N-H···O hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions into dimeric entities, presenting a noticeable noncrystallographic C2 symmetry. These dimers are in turn linked by a medium-strength type-I C-F···F-C interaction into elongated tetramers. Much weaker C-H···F contacts link the tetramers into broad two-dimensional substructures parallel to (101).

Abstract
In the molecules of both methyl (1RS,3SR,3aRS,6aSR)-1-methyl-3-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-4,6-dioxo-5-phenyloctahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1-carboxylate, C₂₅H₂₄N₄O₄, (I), and methyl (1RS,3SR,3aRS,6aSR)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-3-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-4,6-dioxooctahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1-carboxylate, C₂₅H₂₃ClN₄O₄, (II), the two rings of the pyrrolopyrrole fragment are both nonplanar, with conformations close to half-chair forms. The overall conformations of the molecules of (I) and (II) are very similar, apart from the orientation of the ester function. The molecules of (I) are linked into sheets by a combination of an N-H∙∙∙π(pyrrole) hydrogen bond and three independent C-H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds. The molecules of (II) are also linked into sheets, which are generated by a combination of an N-H∙∙∙N hydrogen bond and two independent C-H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds, weakly augmented by a C-H∙∙∙π(arene) hydrogen bond.

Abstract
An optimisation of Michael-type addition of azole derivatives of broad-scale acidity – ranging from 5.20 to 15.00 pKa units – namely 4-nitropyrazole, 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitropyrazole, 4(5)-nitroimidazole, 4,5-diphenylimidazole, 4,5-dicyanoimidazole, 2-methyl-4(5)-nitroimidazole, 5(4)-bromo-2-methyl-4(5)-nitroimidazole and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole to methyl acrylate as an acceptor was carried out. The optimisation process involved the use of an appropriate basic catalyst (DBU, DIPEA, NaOH, NaH, TEDA), a donor/base/acceptor ratio and the reaction temperature. The reactions were performed in DMF as solvent. Target Michael adducts were obtained in medium to excellent yields. Importantly, for imidazole and 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, no corresponding regioisomers were obtained.
