This paper describes the design, development, synthesis, in silico, and in vitro evaluation of fourteen novel heterocycle hybrids as inhibitors of the α-glucosidase enzyme. The primary aim of this study was to explore the potential of novel pyrazole-phthalazine hybrids as selective inhibitors of α-glucosidase, an enzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism, which plays a key role in the management of type 2 diabetes. The rationale for this study stems from the need for new, more effective inhibitors of α-glucosidase with improved efficacy and safety profiles compared to currently available therapies like Acarbose.

A novel HSO-catalyzed ANRORC-type rearrangement of pyrazinones to imidazoles proceeding through pyridazino[]annulation with simultaneous introduction of a pyrazole ring at position 2 of the imidazole system has been developed, which offers efficient and expedited access to new biheterocyclic systems - 2-(pyrazol-3-ul)imidazoles and 2-(pyrazol-3-yl)imidazo[4,5-]pyridazines. Diverse bi--heterocyclic systems with the imidazo[4,5-]pyridazine-4,7-diamine moiety could be obtained in excellent yield when 5,6-dicyano-3-(2-oxo-2-ethyl)pyrazin-2(1)-ones interact with hydrazines the selective spiro-formation in a tandem ring-opening/ring-closing process, which allowed the simultaneous construction of five new C-N bonds. This new method is compatible with an array of functional groups, proceeds under mild reaction conditions with the involvement of commercially available reagents.

Second-generation integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are strongly recommended for people living with HIV-1 (PLWH). The emergence of resistance to second-generation INSTIs has been infrequent and has not yet been a major issue in high-income countries. However, the delayed rollouts of these INSTIs in low- to middle-income countries during the COVID-19 pandemic combined with increased transmission of drug-resistant mutants worldwide are leading to an increase in INSTI resistance.

A Cu-promoted highly chemoselective dimerization of 5-aminopyrazoles to produce pyrazole-fused pyridazines and pyrazines is reported. The protocol generates switchable products via the direct coupling of C-H/N-H, C-H/C-H and N-H/N-H bonds, with the merits of broad substrate scope and high functional group compatibility. Gram-scale experiments demonstrated the potential applications of this reaction.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells critically depend on PARP1 and CHK1 activation for survival. Combining the PARP inhibitor (PARPi) olaparib with a CHK1 inhibitor (MK-8776, CHK1i) produced a synergistic effect, reducing cell viability and inducing marked oxidative stress and DNA damage, particularly in the HepG2 cells. This dual treatment significantly increased apoptosis markers, including γH2AX and caspase-3/7 activity.
