A series of new pyrazole-condensed 6,5,5 tricyclic compounds were synthesized and tested to evaluate their binding affinities at both central (CBR) and peripheral (PBR) benzodiazepine receptors. Some 1-aryl-5- phenylpyrazole derivatives were also prepared and tested for comparison with their corresponding rigid tricyclic analogs. Among the newly synthesized 1-aryl-1,4-dihydro-indeno[1,2-c]pyrazoles bearing both an ethoxycarbonyl group at position 3 and a carbonyl function at the position 4, compound 4b emerged as a new potent (IC50 = 26.4 nM) and selective CBR ligand. The 4-oxo-1-aryl-1,4-dihydro-indeno[1,2-c]pyrazole diethylamide derivative 14a was instead identified as a relatively potent (IC50 = 124 nM) but highly selective PBR ligand.
New pyrazolium-carboxylates as structural analogues of the pseudo-cross-conjugated betainic alkaloid nigellicine

Pyrazolium-3-carboxylates were examined as relatives of the betainic alkaloid Nigellicine and as new examples of the sparsely populated class 16 of heterocyclic pseudo-cross-conjugated mesomeric betaines (PCCMB). The title compounds were prepared in a 4-step procedure starting from β-diketo compounds 8 which were cyclized with substituted hydrazines. The resulting isomeric pyrazole esters 9 and 10 were separated and subsequently quaternized with dimethyl sulfate in the presence of nitrobenzene to pyrazolium esters 11 and 12. Saponification was best accomplished in diluted sulfuric acid, which resulted in the formation of the pseudo-cross-conjugated mesomeric betaines 13 and 14 in one step. Protonation to the corresponding carboxylic acids required the treatment of the betaines with tetrafluoroboric acid in dichloromethane. The effect of negative solvatochromism proves the charge separation in the ground state of the molecules. X-ray crystallographic analyses, semiempirical calculations, and ESI mass spectrometric measurements were performed to gain knowledge about the phenomenon of pseudo-cross-conjugation.
