1 INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, pyrazole and its derivatives have been widely
used in the fields of medicinal chemistry because of their
biological activities In particular, they have been reported
for a large range of pharmacological activities including
antiulcer, leishmanicidal, cancer, antimalarial,
anti-microbial, and cytotoxicity [1-7]
Researchers have already chosen many kinds of targets to
test the activity of pyrazole derivatives Cox has disclosed a
series of 4,5-dihydropyrazole derivatives as potent inhibitors
of KSP (Kinesin spindle protein) to treat human cancer with
good potency, pharmacokinetics and water solubility [8]
Some pyrazole derivatives have also been researched to be
potent inhibitors of EGFR and/or HER-2 with sound IC50
values [9] A series of
4-(pyridin-4-yl)-(3-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazoles has also been proved potent
against ROS Receptor Tyrosine Kinase[10] All of these
researches will be explained later in detail
Several pyrazole compounds have been considered to be
potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of
inflammation [11-12].Theyinclude the well-known selective
COX-2 drug, which has been proved well tolerated with
reduced gastrointestinal side effects [13]
What is more, many pyrazole derivatives are believed to
possess a wide range of antibacterial bioactivities [14-17]
Much attention has been paid to pyrazole and its derivatives
as potential antimicrobial agents after the discovery of the

2 PYRAZOLE DERIVATIVES AS ANTITUMOR AGENTS
2.1 BRAF V600E Inhibitory Activity
The serine threonine kinase BRAF is a member of the RAF kinase family, which is part of the RAF/MEK/ERK serine threonine kinase cascade This kinase cascade, also called the ERK/MAP kinase pathway is beneficial to regulate cell growth, survival and differentiation [19], and can be hyper-activated in approximately 30% of human cancers by many receptors [20], such as BRAF, the small G-proteins of the RAS family, receptor tyrosine kinases and so
on Approximately 90% of activating BRAF mutations in cancer lines are glutamic acids to valine substitution at position 600 [21-25] (V600E; formally identified as V599E)
In cancer cells, BRAFV600E has been found to be 500-fold active than the wild-type protein26 BRAFV600E can contribute
to neoangiogenesis by stimulating vascular endothelial growth factor secretion [27] Overall, these data suggesting BRAFV600E as a therapeutic target [28] has offered many valuable and important opportunities for anticancer drug
research Andrew K has evaluated the SAR of a series of
imidazole inhibitors based on SB-590885 directing at BRAF kinase [29] Many small chemical molecules containing pyrazole skeleton have been considered as potent inhibitors
of BRAFV600E [30]

Trang 2A series of pyrazole derivatives have been synthesized in
our lab For example, Cui-Yun Li has found through the
results of the bioassays against BRAFV600E Several compounds
have shown potent activities with IC50 value in low
micromolar range and among them, compound 27e [31]
(Fig. 1),
(5-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)6-methylpyridin-3-yl methanone)
(IC50 = 0.20 μM) bears the best bioactivity, which is
comparable with the positive control Erlotinib (IC50 = 0.06
μM) and vemurafeni (IC50 = 0.03 μM) Encouraged by the
positive results of pyrazole derivatives as BRAFV600E
inhibitors, Qing-Shan Li in the same lab also has sought to
design novel potential BRAFV600E inhibitors as antitumor
agents based on pyrazole skeleton In silico and in vitro
screening of their designed pyrazole derivatives have
identified Hit 1 (Table 1) [32] as good BRAFV600E
inhibitor
Based on the original structure and through further structural
modifications, compound 25 [32] (Fig 2) has exhibited the
most potent inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.16 μM
for BRAFV600E
Yu-Shun Yang [33]in the same lab also has discovered
that Compound C14 (Fig 3) he synthesized showed the most
potent biological activity against BRAFV600E (IC50 = 0.11 μM)
while D10 (Fig 4) performed the best in the D series (IC50 =
1.70 μM)

2.2 EGFR Inhibitory Activity
EGFR has been reported to exist on the cell surface and
is activated by binding of its specific ligands, including epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor (TGF) Activation of EGFR will result in constitutive activation or autocrine expression of ligand [35,36] The role
of EGFR has been most carefully studied in breast cancer, where it is overexpressed in 25–30% of cases and is correlated with poor prognosis EGFR overexpression has also been found in ovarian cancer, lung cancer (especially lung adenocarcinomas) and in hormone-refractory prostate cancer Compounds that have been identified to inhibit the kinase activity of EGFR after binding of its cognate ligand are of potential importance as new therapeutic antitumor
agents [37,38] Peng-Cheng Lv in Zhu’s lab has discovered
that compound 5 (Fig 6) [9] displayed the most potent
EGFR inhibitory activity with IC50 of 0.07 μM, bearing the
Trang 3best bioactivity comparable with the positive control
Erlotinib (IC50 = 0.03 μM). Compound 11 (Fig 7) also
displayed the most potent EGFR inhibitory activity with IC50
of 0.06 μM What is more, Compound D14 (Fig 8) created
by Wen Yang and Yu-Shun Yang [37] in the same lab
displayed the most potent activity against EGFR (IC50 = 0.05
μM) Meanwhile, compound C14 (Fig 9) displayed the most
potent activity against HER-2 and MCF-7 cell line (IC50 =
0.88 μM)

2.3 Telomerase Inhibitory Activity
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that is an enzyme
which adds DNA sequence repeats ("TTAGGG" in all
vertebrates) to the 3' end of DNA strands in the telomere
regions, which is found at the ends of eukaryotic
chromosomes Telomerase is also a reverse transcriptase that
carries its own RNA molecule, which is used as a template
when it elongates telomeres, which is shortened after each
replication cycle Telomerase remain active in the early
stages of life maintaining telomere length It turns dormant
in most somatic cells during adulthood In cancer cells, however, it has been discovered that telomerase gets reactivated to maintain the length of telomere, leading to their immortality [38] The essential role of telomerase in cancer and aging makes it an important target for the development of therapies to treat many kinds of disorders such as cancer and other age-associated disorders Telomere and telomerase are closely related to the occurrence and
development of human cancer [39] A series of novel
N-phenylacetyl (sulfonyl) 4,5-dihydropyrazole derivatives as potential telomerase inhibitors have been synthesized by
Xin-Hua Liu in Zhu’s lab [40] The bioassay results showed
that compound 4a (Fig 10) can inhibit telomerase with IC50
value of 4.0 μM
Andrew et al [41] revealed the telomerase key active site
with X-ray in 2008, which was three-dimensional structure
of TERT protein catalysis subunit At present, Yin-Luo’s
group has designed and synthesized several kinds of telomerase inhibitors All of these compounds had the
similar skeleton structure 2H-pyrazole Telomerase
inhibition and anti-proliferative assay results demonstrated that compound 16A (Fig 11) possessed the most potent
enzyme inhibition activity (IC50 = 0.9 μM for telomerase)
and anticancer activity (IC50 = 5.34 μM for B16-F10 and IC50
= 18.07 μM for SGC-7901), bearing the best bioactivity
comparable with the positive control 5-fluorouracil (IC50 =
21.41 μM for B16-F10 and IC50 = 46.35 μM for SGC-7901)

2.4 Aurora-A kinase Inhibitory Activity
Aurora kinases are serine/threonine kinases that are essential for cell proliferation The enzyme is beneficial to the dividing cell dispense its genetic materials to its daughter cells, so the Aurora kinases is a family of highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinases that play a very meaningful role in regulating many pivotal processes of mitosis and completion of cell division by controlling chromatid segregation [42-46] Defects in this segregation can cause genetic instability, a condition which is highly associated
Trang 4with tumorigenesis In mammals, three Aurora kinases are
found: Aurora-A, Aurora-B and Aurora-C [47] Aurora A
and B, are well known for their distinct roles in regulating
mitosis, but the role of Aurora C is still unclear With the
presumption that the pyrazole group is a common nucleus of
Aurora-A kinase inhibitors by binding to its ATP side [48],
so a series of N-1,3-triphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide
derivatives have been designed, synthesized and evaluated
by Xi-Li in Zhu’s lab for their potential anti-proliferation
activity and Aurora-A kinase inhibitory activity [49]
Compound 10e (Fig 12) exhibited significant Aurora-A
kinase inhibitory activity (IC50 =0.16 μM) comparing with
the positive control VX-680 (IC50 = 0.13 μM). The result of
western blotting of compound 10e has been showed in Fig
13 [49]

2.5 ROS Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitory Activity
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are key players in the
process of signal transduction and cellular communication
They act as the cell surface receptors for many important
growth factors and hormones c-Ros is a proto-oncogenic
receptor tyrosine kinase whose expression is tightly
restricted during its development It normally expressed in
adult murine and human epithelial cells of the epididymis A
series of new
4-(pyridin-4-yl)-(3-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazoles (6a-k) (Fig 14 and 15) have been rationally
designed by Byung Sun Park10 Based on the structure of the
lead compound KIST301080 (Fig. 16), a selective c-Ros
receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor has been discovered in order to study the activity of c-Ros of this new class of inhibitors The compounds have been synthesized and screened against c-Ros kinase Among them, compound 6h
(Fig. 15) has showed good inhibitory activity with an IC50
value of 6.25 μM His lab has also discovered that compound
12b [50] (Fig 17) showed good potency with IC(50) value of
209 nM against ROS tyrosine kinases
3 PYRAZOLE DERIVATIVES AS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS
3.1 COX Inhibitory Activity
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used for the treatment in various inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, rheumatisms and pain of everyday life [51-54] NSAIDs are usually indicated for the treatment
of acute or chronic conditions where pain and inflammation are present The most prominent members of this group of drugs are aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, all of which are available in most countries However, long-term use of the NSAIDs has been associated with gastrointestinal ulceration, bleeding and nephrotoxicity [51-54] Therefore the discovery
of new anti-inflammatory drugs may be a challenging goal for such a research area The currently available NSAIDs belong to different chemical classes [55] The compound 4c
(Fig. 18) which emerged as the most active compound has
been synthesized by P D Gokulan [56]and also exhibited wonderful analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities The mechanism of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) in reducing inflammatory reactions involves the inhibition of COX enzymes COX is the key enzyme which catalyses the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins and thromboxane [57-60] It is cyclooxygenase enzymes that catalyses second step of prostaglandin synthesis There are two types of cyclooxygenase enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2 COX-1 is a constitutive enzyme, produced in many tissues such as the kidney and the gastrointestinal tract, while
COX-2 is inducible and is expressed during inflammation at the site of injury [61] The biological studies demonstrated increasing in COX activity in a variety of cells after exposure to endotoxin, pro-inflammatory, cytokines, growth factors, hormones, and tumor promoters Anti-inflammatory screening indicated that compounds 4d, 4e and 4h (Fig 19)
synthesized by Shridhar Malladi [62] were biologically
active

Miguel A Iñiguez has analyzed the effects on T cell
activation of novel 4,5-dihydro-3 trifluoromethyl pyrazole
anti-inflammatory drugs with different potencies as COX-2
inhibitors, namely 6087, 6232, 6231, 6036 and
E-6259 (Fig. 20) [63] as well as the chemically related COX-2
inhibitor Celecoxib Their findings suggest that
4,5-dihydro-3-trifluoromethyl pyrazole NSAIDs display
COX-independent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory
actions through the inhibition of NF-B and
NFAT-dependent transcription, leading to down-regulation of T cell
activation The result of western blotting of compounds

4 PYRAZOLE DERIVATIVES AS ANTI-BACTERIAL
AGENTS
4.1 DNA Gyrase Inhibitory Activity
DNA gyrase, a typical of type II topoisomerases, has
been known to cause DNA replication, transcription and
recombination [65] DNA gyrase catalyzes the ATP-dependent
introduction of negative supercoils into bacterial DNA as well as the decatenation and unknotting of DNA [66]
Hoffmann–La Roche’s group [67,68] has developed a new
lead DNA gyrase inhibitor (compound 1) (Fig 24)
Which has strong inhibitory activity against DNA gyrase and this inhibitory effect can cause bacterial cell death Ten new 1-(5-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl) oxime ester derivatives have been
synthesized by Xin-Hua Liu’s group [69] and all the compounds have been evaluated for their antibacterial
potential in vitro against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus
aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa The
results showed that 7c and 7f possess good activity with the
minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values being
about 1.562 μg/mL against all four bacterias Compounds 7c, 7d and 7f (Fig 25) showed moderate inhibition against the
DNA gyrase (IC501.6 - 2.5 μg/mL)
What is more, a series of new 2-(1-(2-(substituted- phenyl)-5-methyloxazol-4-yl)-3-(2-substitued-phenyl)-4,5-
dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-7-substitued-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroiso-quinoline derivatives have also been synthesized by Xin-Hua
Liu [70] The results showed that compounds 9q and 10q

0.125 μg/mL against B subtilis DNA gyrase), comparing
with Novobiocin (with IC50 of 0.125 μg/mL against S aureus
DNA gyrase, 0.5 μg/mL against B subtilis DNA gyrase)
4.2 Fatty Acid Biosynthesis (FAB) Inhibitory Activity
FAB is an essential metabolic process for prokaryotic
organisms and is required for cell viability and growth [71]
The -ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III (FabH) is
one of key enzymes in FAS II, playing an important
regulatory role in the bacterial FAB cycle [72] Many
attributes suggest that small molecule inhibitors of FabH
enzymatic activity could be potential development
candidates leading to selective, nontoxic and broad-spectrum
antibacterial agents [73-75] Fifty-six
1-acetyl-3,5-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-(1H)-pyrazole derivatives have been synthesized
by Peng-Cheng Lv [76] and developed as potent inhibitors of
FabH This inhibitor class demonstrated strong antibacterial
activity Escherichia coli FabH inhibitory assay and docking
simulation indicated that the compound 12 and 13 (Fig 27)
were potent inhibitors of E coli FabH with IC50 of 4.2 μM
and 7.6 μM
