Synthesis and anticancer evaluation of some new pyrazolo[3,4‐ d ][1,2,3]triazin‐4‐ones, pyrazolo[1,5‐ a ]pyrimidines, and imidazo[1,2‐ b ]pyrazoles clubbed with carbazole

A tetrazolium salt has been used to develop a quantitative colorimetric assay for mammalian cell survival and proliferation. The assay detects living, but not dead cells and the signal generated is dependent on the degree of activation of the cells. This method can therefore be used to measure cytotoxicity, proliferation or activation. The results can be read on a multiwell scanning spectrophotometer (ELISA reader) and show a high degree of precision. No washing steps are used in the assay. The main advantages of the colorimetric assay are its rapidity and precision, and the lack of any radioisotope. We have used the assay to measure proliferative lymphokines, mitogen stimulations and complement-mediated lysis. Show more

Carbazole skeleton is the key structural motif of many biologically active compounds including synthetic and natural products. Over the past several years, a large number of research highlighting the significance of carbazole derivatives has been reported in the literature. The present review focuses on the recent progress, from 2010 until now, in knowledge on various biological properties of classical, tricyclic carbazole derivatives. Show more

2-cyano-N-(1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)acetamide (1) was utilized as key intermediate for the synthesis of some new coumarin 2, pyridine 3, pyrrole 4, thiazole 7, pyrido[2',3':3,4][pyrazolo[5,1-c]triazine and aminopyrazole 9. Treatment of aminopyrazole 9 with nitrous acid, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, enaminone, and DMF-DMA led to the formation of pyrazolo[3,4-d]triazine 10, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 11, 12, 14, and pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine 13, respectively. Condensation of 9 with isatin afforded Schiff base 16. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and mass spectral studies. Representative compounds of the synthesized products were tested and evaluated as antimicrobial agents. Show more
