Two series of 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole derivativescontaining rhodanine-3-alkanoic acidgroups were identified as competitive protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors. Among the compounds studied, IIIv was found to have the best in vitro inhibition activity against PTP1B (IC50 = 0.67 ± 0.09 µM) and the best selectivity (9-fold) between PTP1B and T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP)
Three series of 1,3-diaryl pyrazole derivatives bearing aminoguanidine or furan-2-carbohydrazide moieties have been synthesized, characterized and evaluated for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. Most of the synthesized compounds showed potent inhibition of several Gram-positive bacterial strains (including multidrug-resistant clinical isolates) and Gram-negative bacterial strains with minimum inhibitory concentration values in the range of 1-64 mu g/mL. Compounds 6g, 6l and 7l presented the most potent inhibitory activity against Gram-positive bacteria (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus 4220), Gram-negative bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli 1924) and the fungus, Candida albicans 7535, with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 1 or 2 mu g/mL. Compared with previous studies, these compounds exhibited a broad spectrum of inhibitory activity. Furthermore, compound 7l showed the greatest anti-inflammatory activity (93.59% inhibition, 30 min after intraperitoneal administration), which was more potent than the reference drugs ibuprofen and indomethacin.

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of novel 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazoles functionalized with phenylalanine-derived rhodanines
In the present study, a series of novel 1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazoles functionalized with phenylalanine-derived rhodanine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity. Compounds 4, 6, 9, 10, 12 and 15 exhibited stronger activity than the standard drugs, norfloxacin and oxacillin, with MIC values of 1 mu g/mL against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and quinolone-resistant S. aureus. None of the compounds showed any activity against Gram-negative bacteria. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
