Pyrazolol derivatives are gaining significant attention for their diverse pharmacological effects, such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. In this study, 20 pyrazolol derivatives were designed and synthesized to develop an anti-ischemic stroke formulation with free radical scavenging activity. Most of these synthesized compounds demonstrated antioxidant capabilities in DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging, and ORAC assays. The methyl-substituted compound Y12, in particular, showed exceptional antioxidant capacity. Additionally, these compounds showed excellent neurocytoprotective effects in the SH-SY5Y cell injury model subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Notably, Y12 exhibited significant metal chelating activity with Cu. In vivo studies confirmed that compound Y12 has neuroprotective effects and can significantly reduce the infarct area in a mouse model of focal cerebral ischemia induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO).

Cancer is the deadliest disease worldwide and the development of safer chemical entities to treat cancer is one of the major challenges of medicinal chemistry. The emergence of new cases every year and the development of multiple drug resistance against available molecular entities have turned the focus of researchers towards natural products. Chalcones are pharmacologically active compounds, present in plants, which have been derivatized and screened by many researchers for the treatment of cancer.

5-Substituted 1-pyrazolol analogues of ibotenic acid have been synthesized and pharmacologically characterized on ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs and mGluRs). The syntheses involved introduction of bromide, alkyls, phenyl and arylalkyls in the 5-position of 1-benzyloxypyrazole leading to 5-substituted (RS)-2-amino-(1-hydroxy-4-pyrazolyl)acetic acids (5a-l). The pharmacological activities of the synthesized analogues ranged from the 5-cyclopropylmethyl analogue (5f) with weak but selective affinity for NMDA receptors (IC(50)=35 microM), over the 5-n-propyl analogue (5c), which was a selective mGluR2 agonist (EC(50)=72 microM), to the 5-cyclohexylmethyl analogue (5g), which was a selective mGluR2 antagonist (K(i)=32 microM), and the 5-phenylethyl analogue (5j), which was a weak but apparently selective mGluR1 antagonist (K(i)=230 microM).

Stimulation of cardiac beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-AR) activates both the G(s)- and G(i)-coupled signaling cascades, including the phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) pathway, that have important physiological implications. Multiple isoforms of PI3K exist in the heart. The goals of this study were to examine the intracellular signaling pathways linking beta-AR to PI3K and to identify the PI3K isoform mediating this transactivation in a cardiac context.
