A new series of pyrazole-hydrazone derivatives 4a-i were designed and synthesized, their chemical structures were confirmed by IR, H NMR, C NMR, MS spectral data and elemental analysis. IC values for all prepared compounds to inhibit COX-1, COX-2 and 5-LOX enzymes were determined in vitro. Compounds 4a (IC=0.67μM) and 4b (IC=0.58μM) showed better COX-2 inhibitory activity than celecoxib (IC=0.87μM) with selectivity index (SI=8.41, 10.55 in sequent) relative to celecoxib (SI=8.85). Also, compound 4a and 4b exhibited superior inhibitory activity against 5-LOX (IC=1.92, 2.31μM) higher than zileuton (IC=2.43μM). All target pyrazoles were screened for their ability to reduce nitric oxide production in LPS stimulated peritoneal macrophages. Compounds 4a, 4b, 4f and 4i displayed concentration dependent reduction and were screened for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced rat paw edema assay. Compound 4f showed the highest anti-inflammatory activity (% edema inhibition=15-20%) at all doses when compared to reference drug celecoxib (% edema inhibition=15.7-17.5%). Docking studies were carried out to investigate the interaction of target compounds with COX-2 enzyme active site.

Microbial resistance to drugs is an unresolved global concern, which is present in every country. Developing new antibiotics is one of the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) to combat bacterial resistance to drugs. Based on our lead molecules, we report the synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 27 new pyrazole derivatives.

In light of the increased anticancer activities of some reported copper complexes and our previous finding of nine novel anti-proliferative salicylaldehyde pyrazole hydrazone (SPH) derivatives, we prepared copper complexes of these SPH derivatives (Cu-SPHs), which turned out to be stronger growth inhibitors to A549 cells than their corresponding SPHs via inducing apoptosis. Among them, the copper complex of (E)-N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carbohydrazide, termed Cu-16, exhibited an advantage in selectivity and efficacy over the others. Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses showed an elevated protein level of integrin beta4 upon Cu-16 treatment, and knockdown of integrin beta4 significantly inhibited Cu-16 induced apoptosis in H322 cells.
