Green Approach for the Synthesis of a New Class of Diamidomethane‐linked Benzazolyl Pyrazoles and Evaluation as Antifungals

A new class of diamidomethane‐linked benzoxazolyl pyrazoles, benzothiazolyl pyrazoles, and benzimidazolyl pyrazoles were synthesized from the synthetic intermediates N‐benzazolylcarbamoylmethylcinnamides adopting environmentally benign methods. In fact, nitrile imine was generated from araldehyde phenylhydrazone in the presence of iodosobenzene and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide followed by oxidation with iodine in dimethylsulfoxide. The structures of compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra. The title compounds were also evaluated for their antifungal activity. Amongst all the tested compounds benzimidazolyl pyrazolyl carboxamides ( 13a and 13b ) were found to be potential antifungal agents.     

Preparation of Hydroxy-Substituted Hexahydrophthalazinones from Cyclohexane- and Norbornanelactones or Ketallactones

Summary.  Cyclohexane- and norbornanelactones (1, 5) as well as ketallactones (3, 7) and their hydrolytic products (2, 4a,b, 8) react with hydrazine hydrate to yield the hydroxy-substituted hexahydrophthalazinones 9–12. In the cyclizations, the configurations of the bridgehead atoms remain unaltered, and the hydroxy group retains its original position in the hydrazinolysis of 5 and 7. The compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Received September 3, 2001. Accepted October 8, 2001

Abstract

Reaction of 5‐amino‐3‐substituted pyrazoles (1a–c) and 5‐amino‐1,3‐disubstituted pyrazoles (1d–i) with fluorinated‐β‐diketones (2) results in the formation of the single isomer of pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridines (4a–h). A one‐pot procedure for the synthesis of title compounds starting from α‐cyanoacetophenones along with a possible mechanistic pathway for the formation of the title compounds is described.     

NaF-catalyzed efficient one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles under ultrasonic irradiation via MCR approach

Sodium fluoride was identified as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of series of dihydropyrano [2,3-c]pyrazoles (4a–l) by the three-component condensation of 3-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one (1), aromatic aldehydes (2) and malononitrile (3) in aqueous methanol at ambient temperature under ultrasonication. The cost and efficacy of the catalyst, mild reaction conditions, simple workup procedure, less reaction time and higher yields of the product with analytical purity keeping this protocol superior to the previously reported ones. Structures of all the compounds were in agreement with their spectroscopic data (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR) and elemental (CHN) analyses.     

Sonogashira Coupling Offers a New Synthetic Route to Thieno[2,3-c]pyrazoles

Abstract

1,3-Disubstituted-5-chloro-4-iodopyrazoles are selectively coupled with phenylacetylene under typical Sonogashira reaction conditions [PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂, CuI, Et₃N, dimethylformamide (DMF)] to obtain the corresponding 5-chloro-4-(phenylethynyl)pyrazoles in good yield. The latter are smoothly cyclized with Na₂S in DMF into the corresponding thieno[2,3-c]pyrazoles. Detailed spectroscopic investigations (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR, mass, and infrared) of all compounds are reported.     

Design,characterization and quantum chemical computations of a novel series of pyrazoles derivatives with potential anti-proinflammatory response

The synthesis and characterization of the full family of 11 pyrazoles were performed by means of UV–Vis, FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, two-dimensional NMR experiments and DFT simulations. As pyrazoles are known for showing diverse biological actions, they were also tested in the NCI-60 cancer cell line panel, showing moderate to good activity against different cell lines. Furthermore, the anti-proinflammatory activity test of a set of pyrazoles of the form (E)-4-((4-bromophenyl)diazenyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1-R-phenyl-1H-pyrazole was performed, this is based on the study of the blockage of the increase in intracellular [Ca²⁺] observed in response to platelet-activating factor (PAF) treatment of four pyrazoles (i.e. 6, 8, 9 and 10), which successfully displayed [Ca²⁺] channel inhibition. Therefore, the obtained intracellular [Ca²⁺] signal results indicate that the pyrazole family characterized in this study, in particular compounds 6 and 10, are potent blockers of the PAF-initiated Ca²⁺ signaling that mediates the hyperpermeability typically observed during the development of inflammation.

Cyclization of 1 using α‐bromo ketones or esters resulted in compounds 3.     

Mesogenic behaviour in some pyrazole and isoxazole derivatives

Abstract

Several aromatic β-diketones with a different number of alkyloxy groups in the aromatic rings and their derived pyrazoles, isoxazoles and thallium (I) complexes have been synthesized. The potential mesomorphic properties of these compounds have been investigated by optical microscopy, DSC and X-ray diffraction. The pyrazoles and isoxazoles with one chain in each aromatic ring are mesogenic, showing smectic A and smectic C mesophases, whereas the pyrazoles and isoxazoles with two chains per ring and the β-diketones and thallium complexes are not. The mesogenic potentiality is shown to be related to the molecular linearity and to the number of alkyloxy groups. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time liquid crystal properties have been described for pyrazole and isoxazole derivatives.

Synthesis,characterization, and pharmacological evaluation of the proton transfer salts of 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives with 5-sulfosalicylic acid and their Cu(II) complexes

Abstract

Two proton transfer compounds, formed between 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives (2-aminobenzothiazole (abt) and 2-amino-6-ethoxybenzothiazole (EtOabt)) and 5-sulfosalicylic acid dihydrate (H₃ssa) as parent compounds, (Habt)⁺(H₂ssa)^? (1) and (HEtOabt)⁺(H₂ssa)^? (2) and their Cu(II) complexes (3 and 4, respectively) have been prepared and characterized using spectroscopic techniques. The single crystal X-ray diffraction method has been also applied to 3 and 4. Although 3 has a distorted octahedral form, 4 exhibits a distorted square pyramidal geometry. All compounds, including saline and diclofenac sodium as standards, have been evaluated pharmacologically for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities in rats and mice. Parent compounds (abt, EtOabt, and H₃ssa) 3 and 4 show significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities as compared with control compounds.

The preparation of 5-methyl-3,5-dimethyl- and 3,4,5-trimethyl-l[2′-(5′-nitrothienyl)]pyrazoles from thienylhydrazines are described. The ¹H-nmr spectra of these compounds are discussed.     

Pyrazoles and Pyrazolines as Anti-Inflammatory Agents

The five-membered heterocyclic group of pyrazoles/pyrazolines plays important role in drug discovery. Pyrazoles and pyrazolines present a wide range of biological activities. The synthesis of the pyrazolines and pyrazole derivatives was accomplished via the condensation of the appropriate substituted aldehydes and acetophenones, suitable chalcones and hydrazine hydrate in absolute ethanol in the presence of drops of glacial acetic acid. The compounds are obtained in good yields 68–99% and their structure was confirmed using IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and elemental analysis. The novel derivatives were studied in vitro for their antioxidant, anti-lipid peroxidation (AAPH) activities and inhibitory activity of lipoxygenase. Both classes strongly inhibit lipid peroxidation. Compound 2g was the most potent lipoxygenase inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 80 µM). The inhibition of the carrageenin-induced paw edema (CPE) and nociception was also determined, with compounds 2d and 2e being the most potent. Compound 2e inhibited nociception higher than 2d. Pyrazoline 2d was found to be active in a preliminary test, for the investigation of anti-adjuvant-induced disease (AID) activity. Pyrazoline derivatives were found to be more potent than pyrazoles. Docking studies of the most potent LOX inhibitor 2g highlight hydrophobic interactions with VAL126, PHE143, VAL520 and LYS526 and a halogen bond between the chlorine atom and ARG182.
