Hybrid molecules are composed of two pharmacophores with different biological activities. Here, we conjugated phthalazine moieties (antiangiogenetic pharmacophore) and bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrole moieties (DNA cross-linking agent) to form a series of bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazine hybrids. These conjugates were cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cell lines by inducing DNA damage, arresting cell cycle progression at the G2/M phase, triggering apoptosis, and inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) in endothelial cells. Among them, compound 29d encapsulated in a liposomal formulation (e.g., 29dL) significantly suppressed the growth of small-cell lung cancer cell (H526) xenografts in mice. Based on immunohistochemical staining, the tumor xenografts in mice treated with 29dL showed time-dependent decreases in the intensity of CD31, a marker of blood vessels, whereas the intensity of γ-H2AX, a marker of DNA damage, increased. The present data revealed that the conjugation of antiangiogenic and DNA-damaging agents can generate potential hybrid agents for cancer treatment.

In the designed compounds, either a biarylamide or biarylurea moiety or an N-substituted piperazine motif was linked to position 1 of the phthalazine core. The anti-proliferative activity of the synthesised compounds revealed that eight compounds (6b, 6e, 7b, 13a, 13c, 16a, 16d and 17a) exhibited excellent broad spectrum cytotoxic activity in NCI 5-log dose assays against the full 60 cell panel with GI50 values ranging from 0.15 to 8.41 μM. Moreover, the enzymatic assessment of the synthesised compounds against VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase showed the significant inhibitory activities of the biarylureas (12b, 12c and 13c) with IC50s of 4.4, 2.7 and 2.5 μM, respectively, and with 79.83, 72.58 and 71.6% inhibition of HUVEC at 10 μM, respectively. Additionally, compounds (7b, 13c and 16a) were found to induce cell cycle arrest at S phase boundary. Compound 7b triggered a concurrent increase in cleaved caspase-3 expression level, indicating the apoptotic-induced cell death.

Efforts to develop new antitumor agents are now directed towards multitarget therapies that are believed to have high potency and low tendency to resistance compared to conventional drugs. Herein, we highlighted the synthesis and antitumor activity of five series of phthalazine-based compounds featuring a variety of bioactive chemical fragments at position 1 of the phthalazine nucleus. The antitumor activity of the target compounds was performed against fourteen cancer cell lines where all compounds were active in the nanomolar level. In addition, the mechanism of action of the target compounds was investigated through an enzymatic inhibitory assay against VEGFR-2 and EGFR kinases, revealing potent and preferential activity toward VEGFR-2. Binding mode of the most active compounds was studied using docking experiment.

In this report, we describe the synthesis of 1-(Phthalazin-4-yl)-hydrazine using bronsted acidic ionic liquids and demonstrate their ability to inhibit asexual stage development of human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Through computational studies, we short-listed chemical scaffolds with potential binding affinity to an essential parasite protein, dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). Further, these compounds were synthesized in the lab and tested against P. falciparum. Several compounds from our library showed inhibitory activity at low micro-molar concentrations with minimal cytotoxic effects. These results indicate the potential of hydralazine derivatives as reference scaffolds to develop novel antimalarials.

New phthalazine-based vasodilators were synthesized through the chloroacylation of the starting compound 1-hydrazinophthalazine 4 to give the two key intermediates 5 and 7. These intermediates were used to alkylate various cyclic amines to furnish the final compounds 6a-h and 8a-h. Compounds were tested for their vasorelaxant activities against nor-adrenaline-induced spasm on thoracic rat aorta rings and compared to the reference drug, prazosin. Seven compounds showed higher activity than prazosin, especially compound 8d having an IC50 = 0.10 mM. Molecular modeling studies, including fitting of the synthesized compounds to a 3D-pharmacophore and their docking into optimized homology model as α1-AR antagonists showed high docking score and fit values. Most vasodilation activities of tested compounds are consistent with their molecular modeling results.

The present invention provides an improved process of preparing hydralazine hydrochloride, which involves the preparation of 1-chlorophthalazine salt and further reacting with hydrazine followed by purification of hydralazine hydrochloride, which is free of phosphate, does not contain any individual impurities more than 0.05%, total impurities less than 0.5%, and a hydrazine content of not more than 0.001%, and preferably less than 0.0003%. One benefit of improved purity is enhanced storage stability.
