Preparation and bioactivity of pyrazole derivatives as potential cross-linking agent

Abstract

A series of pyrazole derivatives with two and three alkylating sites were prepared and their cytotoxicity against cancer cells as well as antitumor activity against L1210 was investigated. The best result of cytotoxicity was obtained with the trichloride 5 and the best antitumor activity (ILS 33%) with the dibromide 3. These results can provide valuable information for further study of the more effective antitumor agent. Keywords: pyrazole, synthesis, cytotoxicity, antitumor activity, polyalkylator.
