Malaria caused by P. falciparum, has been recognized as one of the major infectious diseases causing the death of several patients as per the reports from the World Health Organization. In search of effective therapeutic agents against malaria, several research groups have started working on the design and development of novel heterocycles as anti-malarial agents.

Vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been discovered within a very small duration of time as compared to the traditional way for the development of vaccines, which raised the question about the safety and efficacy of the approved vaccines. The purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness and safety of vaccine platforms against the incidence of COVID-19. The literature search was performed on PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, and clinical trials.

Unlabelled: Uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) have been considered as a family of enzymes responsible for the glucuronidation process, a crucial phase II detoxification reaction. Among the various UGT isoforms, UGTs A10 and B7 have garnered significant attention due to their broad substrate specificity and involvement in the metabolism of numerous compounds. Recent studies have suggested that certain vitamins may exert inhibitory effects on UGT activity, thereby influencing the metabolism of drugs, environmental toxins, and endogenous substances, ultimately impacting their biological activities.

Objectives: The aim of the present work was to synthesize a novel series of pyrazolo[3,4-]pyrimidin-4(5)-one derivatives and evaluate their antimicrobial activity.

Methods: Cyclization of an ortho-amino ester of 1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)pyrazole with various aliphatic/aromatic nitriles under different reaction conditions such as conventional and microwave assisted synthesis, provided pyrazolo[3,4-] pyrimidin-4(5)-one derivatives. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against selected bacteria and fungi by agar well diffusion method.
