Hybrid systems containing pyrazole moiety show a wide spectrum of biological activities. To access novel hybrids with pyrazole ring, in this work we synthesized twenty pyrazole-carboxylic acids and twenty pyrazole-carboxamides, using simple synthetic methods, to be used as building blocks in the development of new structures.

A series of 28 hybrids pyrazole-imidazolines 1a–n and 2a–n were synthesized by a new methodology using microwave irradiation, in short time (20–30?min), in low power (50–70?W), and in 34–92% yield. Among all methodologies evaluated, no side products were obtained. All derivatives were completely characterized by FT–IR, 1H and 13C NMR, GC–MS, and HRMS.

Arginase performs the first enzymatic step in polyamine biosynthesis in Leishmania and represents a promising target for drug development. Polyamines in Leishmania are involved in trypanothione synthesis, which neutralize the oxidative burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) that are produced by host macrophages to kill the parasite. In an attempt to synthesize arginase inhibitors, six 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives with different substituents at the 4-position of the phenyl group were synthesized. All compounds were initially tested at 100 μM concentration against Leishmania amazonensis ARG (LaARG), showing inhibitory activity ranging from 36 to 74%. Two compounds, 1 (R=H) and 6 (R=CF3), showed arginase inhibition >70% and IC50 values of 12 μM and 47 μM, respectively. Thus, the kinetics of LaARG inhibition were analyzed for compounds 1 and 6 and revealed that these compounds inhibit the enzyme by an uncompetitive mechanism, showing Kis values, and dissociation constants for ternary complex enzyme-substrate-inhibitor, of 8.5 ± 0.9 μM and 29 ± 5 μM, respectively. Additionally, the molecular docking studies proposed that these two uncompetitive inhibitors interact with different LaARG binding sites, where compound 1 forms more H-bond interactions with the enzyme than compound 6. These compounds showed low activity against L. amazonensis free amastigotes obtained from mice lesions when assayed with as much as 30 μM. The maximum growth inhibition reached was between 20 and 30% after 48 h of incubation. These results suggest that this system can be promising for the design of potential antileishmanial compounds.
