A series of novel pyrazole-benzimidazole derivatives (6-42) have been designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against the HCT116, MCF-7 and Huh-7 cell lines. Among them, compounds 17, 26 and 35 showed significant antiproliferative activity against HCT116 cell lines with the IC values of 4.33, 5.15 and 4.84 μM, respectively. Moreover, fluorescent staining studies showed compound 17 could induce cancer cells apoptosis. The flow cytometry assay revealed that compound 17 could induce cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. All in all, these consequences suggest that pyrazole-benzimidazole derivatives could serve as promising compounds for further research to develop novel and highly potent cancer therapy agents.

Introduction: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, driving the urgent need for new and effective treatments. Benzimidazole and pyrazole derivatives have gained attention for their potential as anticancer agents due to their diverse biological activities. The development of resistance in cancer cells, toxicity concerns, and inconsistent efficacy across different types of cancer are a few of the challenges.

is a common human pathogen. Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) infections pose significant and challenging therapeutic difficulties. MRSA often acquires the non-native gene PBP2a, which results in reduced susceptibility to β-lactam antibiotics, thus conferring resistance.

Erratic cell proliferation is the initial symptom of cancer, which can eventually metastasize to other organs. Before cancer becomes metastatic, its spread is triggered by pro-angiogenic factors including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and Platelet Factor (PF4), all of which are part of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell-surface proteins and aresignaling enzymes that transfer ATP-phosphate to tyrosine residue substrates.

The FGFR family is characterized by four receptors (FGFR 1-4), binding to 18 ligands called fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). Aberrant activation of FGFs and their FGFRs has been implicated in a broad spectrum of human tumors. We employed the scaffolds hybridization approach, scaffold-hopping concept to synthesize a series of novel pyrazole-benzimidazole derivatives 56 (a-x).
