In search for new and safer anti-cancer agents, a structurally guided pharmacophore hybridization strategy of two privileged scaffolds, namely diaryl pyrazolines and imidazolidine-2,4-dione (hydantoin), was adopted resulting in a newfangled series of compounds (H1-H22). Herein, a bio-isosteric replacement of “pyrrolidine-2,5-dione” moiety of our recently reported antitumor hybrid incorporating diaryl pyrazoline and pyrrolidine-2,5-dione scaffolds with “imidazoline-2,4-dione” moiety has been incorporated. Complete biological studies revealed the most potent analog among all i.e. compound H13, which was at-least 10-fold more potent compared to the corresponding pyrrolidine-2,5-dione, in colon and breast cancer cells. In-vitro studies showed activation of caspases, arrest of G0/G1 phase of cell cycle, decrease in the expression of anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-2) and increased DNA damage. In-vivo assay on HT-29 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma) animal xenograft model unveiled the significant anti-tumor efficacy along with oral bioavailability with maximum TGI 36% (i.p.) and 44% (per os) at 50 mg/kg dose. These findings confirm the suitability of hybridized pyrazoline and imidazolidine-2,4-dione analog H13 for its anti-cancer potential and starting-point for the development of more efficacious analogs.

In this study, two series of 35 new chalcone derivatives containing aryl-piperazine or aryl-sulfonyl-piperazine fragment were synthesized and their structures were characterized by1H,13C and ESI-MS. The in vivo and in vitro anti-inflammatory activities of target compounds were evaluated by using classical para-xylene-induced mice ear-swelling model and ELISA assays. Furthermore, docking studies were performed in COX-2 (4PH9). The in vivo anti-inflammatory assays indicated that most of the target compounds showed significant anti-inflammatory activities. Docking results revealed that the anti-inflammatory activities of compounds correlated with their docking results. Especially, compound 6o exhibited the most potent anti-inflammatory activity in vivo with the lowest docking score of ?17.4?kcal/mol and could significantly inhibit the release of LPS-induced IL-6 and TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner in vitro.

In this study, the authors have designed and synthesized a novel series of 3-acyl-4-aryl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles, with the aim to obtain new potential scaffolds for the inhibition of both isoforms of monoamine oxidase.
