Recently, pyrazole derivatives as high affinity and selective A2A adenosine receptor antagonists have been reported. But, so far, there are no reports about the inhibitory effects of multi-substituted pyrazole derivatives on apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells (VECs). In this study, we synthesized six pyrazole derivatives and characterized the structures of the compounds by IR, H-1 NMR, mass spectroscopy, and element analysis. The biology assay showed that a novel pyrazole derivative, ethyl 3-(o-chlorophenyl)-5- methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (MPD) at low concentration (25 mu M) increased VECs viability and inhibited VECs apoptosis induced by deprivation of serum and FGF-2. During this process, the levels of integrin beta 4, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and p53 were depressed obviously. The data suggested that MPD was a potential inhibitor of apoptosis associated with the signal pathway mediated by integrin beta 4, ROS, and p53 in VECs. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
