Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modeling of dihydro-pyrazolyl-thiazolinone derivatives as potential COX-2 inhibitors
摘要:
A series of dihydro-pyrazolyl-thiazolinone derivatives (5a-5t) have been synthesized and their biological activities were also evaluated as potential cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. Among these compounds, compound 2-(3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazol-4(5H)-one (5a) displayed the most potent COX-2 inhibitory activity with IC50 of 0.5 mu M, but weak to COX-1. Docking simulation was performed to position compound 5a into the COX-2 active site to determine the probable binding model. Based on the preliminary results, compound 5a with potent inhibitory activity and low toxicity would be a potential and selective anti-cyclooxygenase-2 agent. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

BF2 Chelated azadipyrromethene dyes fluoresce in the near infrared and have potential applications in photodynamic therapy. When irradiated above 600nm these aza-BODIPY compounds react with triplet O2 in the body to form a reactive singlet oxygen species which leads to cell death. A small library has been synthesized of these potential PDT agents via a four step process, with varying substituents on the aromatic ring of the starting benzaldehyde and acetophenone. In vitro studies on HeLa cells have revealed an effective photosensitive compound with low dark cytotoxicity and promotion of apoptotic cell death when exposed to light.
In the present study, somepyrazolinederivatives were synthesized to investigate their potential antinociceptive activities. 1-[(Benzoxazole/benzimidazole-2-yl)thioacetyl]pyrazolinederivatives were obtained by reacting 3,5-diaryl-1-(2-chloroacetyl)pyrazolines with 2-marcaptobenzoxazole/benzimidazole. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H NMR and FAB+-MS spectral data

Abstract Molecular iodine is used as an efficient promoter in the regioselective synthesis of highlyfunctionalized chalcone-based pyranocoumarin derivatives using 4-hydroxycoumarin in acetic acid solvent at 100 °C. Under optimized reaction conditions, our protocol (Michael addition followed by intermolecular cyclization) has tolerance for many functional groups and gave products in good to excellent
palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Heck reaction of aryl thianthrenium salts with carbon monoxide and alkenes has been developed. This protocol can greatly reduce the quantity of olefins used in the carbonylative Heck reaction. In addition, the reaction can also proceed when the coupling partner is a non-activated olefin which is not common in such carbonylative Heck reactions. Combined with C–H thianthrenation
Two series of pyrazole derivatives designing for potential EGFR kinase inhibitors have been discovered. Some of them exhibited significant EGFR inhibitory activity. Compound 3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carbothioamide (C5) displayed the most potent EGFR inhibitory activity with IC50 of 0.07 mu M, which was comparable to the positive control erlotinib. Docking simulation was performed to position compound C5 into the EGFR active site to determine the probable binding model. Antiproliferative assay results indicating that some of the pyrazole derivatives own high antiproliferative activity against MCF-7. Compound C5 showed significant antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 with IC50 of 0.08 mu M. Therefore, compound C5 with potent inhibitory activity in tumor growth inhibition would be a potential anticancer agent. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
