Aminopeptidase N is considered as a promising anti-tumor target due to its role in tumor invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis. In this report, a new series of pyrazoline-based derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for biological activities. The structure-activity relationships of these pyrazoline-based derivatives were also discussed in detail. Among them, compound 2k, with 2,6-dichloro substitution, showed the best APN inhibitory activity, of which the IC value was two orders of magnitude lower than that of the positive control bestatin. At the same concentration of 100 μM, the anti-invasion activity of compound 2k was also significantly better than that of bestatin. Moreover, compound 2k could effectively prevent the pulmonary metastasis of mice H22 hepatoma cells , supporting its further research and development as an antitumor agent.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) target certain cell signalling pathways, and have become a promising class of medications for the treatment of cancer in recent years. Because of their distinct structure and adaptable chemistry, pyrazolines have drawn a lot of interest from organic and medicinal chemists. Their exceptional TKI activity has prompted them to investigate chemotherapy for cancer.

In the context of age-related disorders, the receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE), plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of these conditions by triggering downstream signaling pathways associated with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Targeting this inflammaging phenomenon with RAGE antagonists holds promise for interventions with broad implications in healthy aging and the management of age-related conditions. This study explores the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of pyrazoline-based RAGE antagonists synthesized using an ultrasound-assisted green one-pot two-steps methodology.

In the present work, a concise library of benzothiazole-derived pyrazoline-based thiazole (-) was designed and synthesized by employing a multistep reaction strategy. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their α-glucosidase and urease inhibitory activities. The scaffolds (-) were characterized using a combination of several spectroscopic techniques, including FT-IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, and EI-MS.
