Synthesis and Anti- Activity of New Pyrazole-Thiadiazole Scaffolds.

Chagas disease, a silent but widespread disease that mainly affects a socioeconomically vulnerable population, lacks innovative safe drug therapy. The available drugs, benznidazole and nifurtimox, are more than fifty years old, have limited efficacy, and carry harmful side effects, highlighting the need for new therapeutics. This study presents two new series of pyrazole-thiadiazole compounds evaluated for trypanocidal activity using cellular models predictive of efficacy.

Exploring novel pyrazole-nitroimidazole hybrids: Synthesis and antiprotozoal activity against the human pathogen trichomonas vaginalis.

Trichomoniasis, a prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis, has gained increased significance globally. Its relevance has grown in recent years due to its association with a heightened risk of acquiring and transmitting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other STIs. In addition, many publications have revealed a potential link between trichomoniasis and certain cancers.

A Review of the Synthesis of Oxazoline Derivatives.

Oxazolines are important heterocyclic systems due to their biological activities, such as antibacterial, antimalarial, anticancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antipyretic, and antileishmanial. They have been widely applied as chiral auxiliaries, polymers, catalysts, protecting groups, building blocks, and ligands in asymmetric synthesis. Due to their importance, many synthetic routes to prepare oxazoline moieties have been investigated and developed by researchers around the world.

Synthesis by Microwave Irradiation, Molecular Structural Analysis and Trypanocidal Activity of Novel Pyrazole-tetrahydropyrimidine Derivatives.

Background: A series of new eight 2-(1-aryl-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines 1(a-h) were synthesized by microwave irradiation technique. In vitro phenotypic screening was performed to evaluate the effect of these compounds on intracellular amastigotes forms of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease.

Methods: Compounds 1(a-h) were synthesized from pyrazole-carbonitriles 2(a-h) employing microwave irradiation (50W) for 10-20 minutes.

Bioactivity of Novel Pyrazole-Thiazolines Scaffolds against : Computational Approaches and 3D Spheroid Model on Drug Discovery for Chagas Disease.

Chagas disease, a century-old disease that mainly affects the impoverished population in Latin America, causes high morbidity and mortality in endemic countries. The available drugs, benznidazole (Bz) and nifurtimox, have limited effectiveness and intense side effects. Drug repurposing, and the development of new chemical entities with potent activity against Trypanosoma cruzi, are a potential source of therapeutic options.

Structural Optimization and Biological Activity of Pyrazole Derivatives: Virtual Computational Analysis, Recovery Assay and 3D Culture Model as Potential Predictive Tools of Effectiveness against .

Chagas disease, a chronic and silent disease caused by , is currently a global public health problem. The treatment of this neglected disease relies on benznidazole and nifurtimox, two nitroheterocyclic drugs that show limited efficacy and severe side effects. The failure of potential drug candidates in Chagas disease clinical trials highlighted the urgent need to identify new effective chemical entities and more predictive tools to improve translational success in the drug development pipeline.

Recently reported biological activities of pyrazole compounds.

The pyrazole nucleus is an aromatic azole heterocycle with two adjacent nitrogen atoms. Pyrazole derivatives have exhibited a broad spectrum of biological activities, and approved pyrazole-containing drugs include celecoxib, antipyrine, phenylbutazone, rimonabant, and dipyrone. Many research groups have synthesized and evaluated pyrazoles against several biological agents.

The new pyrazolyltetrazole derivative MSN20 is effective via oral delivery against cutaneous leishmaniasis.

An orally delivered, safe and effective treatment for leishmaniasis is an unmet medical need. Azoles and the pyrazolylpyrimidine allopurinol present leishmanicidal activity, but their clinical efficacies are variable. Here, we describe the activity of the new pyrazolyltetrazole hybrid, 5-[5-amino-1-(4'-methoxyphenyl)1H-pyrazole-4-yl]1H-tetrazole (MSN20).
