Synthesis and Antitumor Activities of Novel 5-amino-3-(halophenyl)- 1- phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitriles

Abstract

Abstract:: In this work, a series of novel 3-(halophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole moieties have been synthesized. Their structures were characterized by IR, NMR, and MS spectroscopy, and the corresponding antitumor properties were also studied. Objectives:: This study aimed to synthesize a series of new 3-(halophenyl)-1-phenyl-1Hpyrazole moieties and survey the antitumor properties of these compounds. Materials and Methods:: 3-(halophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazoles (4a-j) were prepared by reaction of phenyl hydrazine (3) with different halogen aromatic aldehydes (1a-j) and malononitrile (2) in C2H5OH and piperidine. The reaction took place under microwave irradiation settings for two minutes at140°C. method: 3-(halophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole derivatives (4a-j) were synthesized by reaction of phenyl hydrazine (3) with various_halogen aromatic aldehydes (1a-j) and malononitrile (2) in an EtOH/ Pip. solution under microwave irradiation settings for two minutes at140°C. Results:: Three human cancer cell lines were used as in vitro test subjects for compounds 4a - j. Three cell lines from mammals HeLa (a cell line for human cervical cancer), MCF-7 (a cell line for human breast cancer), and PC-3 (a cell line for human prostate cancer), all with 5- fluorouracil as the standard reference drug were used. Conclusion:: A series of novel 3-(halophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazoles were synthesized in this work. All substances had their anticancer properties assessed.
