The scaffolds of two known CDK inhibitors (CAN508 and dinaciclib) were the starting point for synthesizing two series of pyarazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines to obtain potent inhibitors with proper selectivity. The study presented four promising compounds; 10d, 10e, 16a, and 16c based on cytotoxic studies. Compound 16a revealed superior activity in the preliminary anticancer screening with GI % = 79.

Background: A simple and powerful microextraction procedure, the solvent bar microextraction (SBME), was used for the simultaneous determination of two diuretics, furosemide and spironolactone in human urine and plasma samples, using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD).

Methods: The appropriate amount (2 μL) of 1-octanol as an organic solvent confined within 2.5 cm of a porous hollow fiber micro-tube, sealed at both ends was used for this procedure.
