Two new series of 2-arylpyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolin-3-ones (6,8-difluoro- and 7,9-dichloro-derivatives) have been synthesized and tested for their ability to displace [3H]flunitrazepam from rat brain membranes. Several compounds possess comparable and sometimes higher affinity for central benzodiazepine receptors than that of diazepam. Some selected compounds were also tested in vivo in the anti-pentylenetetrazol test; some anticonvulsant activity resulted for the 6,8-difluoroderivatives only.

An ultrasound-assisted green protocol for one-pot synthesis of a new series of pharmaceutically relevant pyrazolo quinoline derivatives (4a-t) were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated using DFT and biological activities. Pyrazolo quinoline derivatives (4a-t) were synthesized via a three-component tandem reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compound (1a-b), substituted aromatic aldehyde (2a-o), and 5-amino indazole (3a) in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM]BF ionic liquid in ethanol at ambient conditions. The main purpose of the present work is selective functionalization of pyrazolo quinoline (4a-t) core excluding another potential parallel reaction under environmentally benign reaction conditions.
