A series of (1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) methyl benzoate derivatives (6a-10d) were designed, synthesized and evaluated as BRAFV600E inhibitors. Biological evaluation assays indicated that compound 10a showed the most potent inhibitory activity against A375, WM266.4 and BRAFV600Ein vitro with IC50 values of 1.36 μM, 0.94 μM and 0.11 μM respectively compared with the positive compound vemurafenib. Furthermore, compound 10a showed highly selective BRAFV600E inhibitory activity in vitro. A docking simulation displayed that compound 10a could tightly bind the crystal structure of BRAFV600E at the active site. 3D-QSAR would provide a guideline to design and optimize more potent and positive BRAFV600E inhibitors based on the (1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) methyl benzoate derivatives skeleton.

A series of forty different pyrazole containing benzimidazole hybrids (6-45) have been designed, synthesized and evaluated for their potential anti-proliferative activity against three human tumor cell lines - lung (A549), breast (MCF-7), and cervical (HeLa). Some of the compounds, specifically 9, 17, and 28, showed potent growth inhibition against all the cell lines tested, with IC50 values in the range of 0.83-1.81 μM. Breast cancer cells were used for further detailed studies to understand the mechanism of cell growth inhibition and apoptosis inducing effect of compounds. The morphology, cell migration and long term clonogenic survival of MCF-7 breast cancer cells were severely affected by treatment with these compounds. Flow-cytometry revealed the compounds arrested MCF-7 cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle via down regulation of cyclin D2 and CDK2. Fluorescent staining and DNA fragmentation studies showed that cell proliferation was inhibited by induction of apoptosis. Moreover, the compounds led to collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were noted. The ease of synthesis and the remarkable biological activities make these compounds promising new frameworks for the development of cancer therapeutics.

A series of pyrazole derivatives (1e-30e) has been designed and synthesized, and their biological activities were evaluated for EGFR and HER-2 inhibition and tumor cell antiproliferation. Among the compounds synthesized, compound 30e exhibited excellent enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.21 ± 0.05 μM for EGFR and IC50 = 1.08 ± 0.15 μM for HER-2). Compound 30e also showed the most potent antiproliferative activity, which inhibited the growth of MCF-7 and B16-F10 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.30 ± 0.04 and 0.44 ± 0.05 μM, respectively. The molecular docking study was performed to analyze the probable binding models and the 3D-QSAR models were built for the rational design of EGFR/HER-2 inhibitors. Based on the results obtained, compound 30e with potent EGFR and HER-2 inhibitory activity may be a potential anticancer agent. the Partner Organisations 2014.

Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathway has been proved to play an important role in tumorigenesis and cancer development. MEK inhibitor has been demonstrated significant clinical benefit for blocking MAPK pathway activation and possibly could block reactivation of the MAPK pathway at the time of BRAF inhibitor resistance. Twenty N-(benzyloxy)-1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide derivatives have been designed and synthesized as MEK inhibitors, and their biological activities were evaluated. Among these compounds, compound 7b showed the most potent inhibitory activity with IC50of 91?nM for MEK1 and GI50value of 0.26?μM for A549 cells. The SAR analysis and docking simulation were performed to provide crucial pharmacophore clues that could be used in further structure optimization.

A series of new pyrazole linked benzothiazole-β-naphthol derivatives were designed and synthesized using a simple, efficient and ecofriendly route under catalyst-free conditions in good to excellent yields. These derivatives were evaluated for their cytotoxicity on selected human cancer cell lines. Among those, the derivatives 4j, 4k and 4l exhibited considerable cytotoxicity with IC50 values ranging between 4.63 and 5.54 μM against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa). Structure activity relationship was elucidated by varying different substituents on benzothiazoles and pyrazoles. Further, flow cytometric analysis revealed that these derivatives induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and spectroscopic studies such as UV–visible, fluorescence and circular dichroism studies showed that these derivatives exhibited good DNA binding affinity. Additionally, these derivatives can effectively inhibit the topoisomerase I activity. Viscosity studies and molecular docking studies demonstrated that the derivatives bind with the minor groove of the DNA.

A series of novel α,α-difluoro-β-hydroxyl pyrazole esters was prepared by Reformatsky reaction. Subsequently, these esters were converted to acids and hydrazides. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer potential at various concentrations (50, 100 μM). Compounds 4d and 6e were found to be potent (93.19 and 90.91 %) and compounds 5d, 6c and 5f were good OH radical scavengers (79.55–72.73 %) as compared to the standard drug ascorbic acid (88.63 %). Compounds 6a, 5c, 6f, 4d and 5a showed significant 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity (75.95–70.89 %). All the compounds have shown higher cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibition over cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) at concentrations 100 and 50 μM. Compounds 5f, 6b, 4a, 5c, 4f, 5 and 6d showed significant COX-2 inhibition (38.56–28.30 %) at a concentration of 100 μM compared to standard drug aspirin (11.11 %). Compounds 6f, 6e and 5f have shown significant cytotoxicity against MCF-7 (51.03–40.59 %), whereas 6d, 5f and 5a showed moderate cytotoxicity against HL-60 (26.98–20.21 %) cancer cell lines compared to the methotrexate as reference standard (68.42 and 54.29 % respectively).

A series of new pyrazolo-benzothiazole hybrids (7–26) were synthesised and screened for their cytotoxic activity towards several cancer cell lines [colon (HT-29), prostate (PC-3), lung (A549), glioblastoma (U87MG)] and normal human embryonic kidney cell line (Hek-293T). Compounds 8, 9, 13, 14, 18, 19, 23, and 24 displayed significant activity, with compound 14 being particularly potent towards all the tested cancer cell lines with IC50 values in the range 3.17–6.77 μM, even better than reference drug axitinib (4.88–21.7 μM). Compound 14 also showed the strongest growth inhibition in 3D multicellular spheroids of PC-3 and U87MG cells. The mechanism of cellular toxicity in PC-3 cells was found to be cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction through depolarisation of mitochondrial membrane potential, increased ROS production and subsequent DNA damage. Further, compound 14 displayed significant in vitro (VEGFR-2 inhibition) and in vivo [transgenic zebrafish Tg(flila:EGFP) model] antiangiogenic properties. Overall, these results provide strong evidence that compound 14 could be considered for a lead candidate in anticancer and antiangiogenic drug discovery.
