Synthesis and antitumor screening of new 1,7-diphenyl-3-(1,3-disubstituted-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-ones.

A new series of 3-(1,3-disubstituted-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl)-1,7-diphenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-ones 4 was prepared by reaction of the enaminone 2 with hydrazonoyl halides 3. The preliminary screening for antitumor activity of the synthesized compounds was carried out against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma tumor cells. The results revealed that the studied compounds 4 have low or no antitumor activity towards EAC tumor cells.
