Chalcone is an aromatic ketone that forms the central core for a variety of important biological compounds, which are collectively known as chalcones. The cytotoxic potential of chalcones which consists of C-6-C-3-C-6 units gets enhanced by the incorporation of pyrazole ring as proved by our earlier studies. Thus in the present work, pyrazoles of chalcones with ring A substituted by furan, naphthalene and variety of substituted phenyl rings has been prepared and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against PC-3, OVCAR, IMR-32, HEP-2 human cancer cell lines.All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against PC-3, OVCAR, IMR-32, HEP-2 human cancer cell lines. Compound 68 was found to be the most potent showing broad spectrum of cytotoxicity against all the cell lines .
