Abstract
A novel series of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxy/4-nitro phenyl)-N-(substituted-phenyl)pyrazole-1-carboxamide analogues 4a–n was synthesized in two steps from 4-fluoroacetophenone. The pyrazoline analogues were evaluated for cytotoxicity against two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MBA-MD-231) by the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide (4b) showed the most promising cytotoxicity among the series, with GI50 <0.1 and 45.8 μM against the cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, respectively. The anticancer activity of 4b was found to be comparable to that of the standard drug adriamycin (GI50 <0.1) against the MCF-7 cancer cell line. Structure activity relationships (SAR) are also considered.

anticancer agents - breast cancer cell lines - MCF-7 - MDA-MB-231 - SRB assay - pyrazolinesIn 2015, nearly 8.8 million cancer related deaths were reported. In India, every year over 0.7 million new cancer patients are registered and 0.5 million cancer related death are reported,[1] [2] and it is expected that new cases of cancer will amount to 19.3 million per annum worldwide by 2025.[3] Chemotherapy is an important approach to cancer treatment, but it has drawbacks of toxicity, resistance, and genotoxicity.[4] Today, we need to focus on drug discovery programmes to develop effective and safer anticancer agents for cancer treatment.
Five-membered pyrazoline rings have received much attention because of their diverse biological potential. Some of the pyrazoline incorporated compounds that have promising biological activities are shown in Figure [1]. Pyrazoloacridine (I) is a new anticancer agent in Phase II clinical trial.[5] [6] [7] 3-(5′-Hydroxymethyl-2′-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole (YC-1) (II) is a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 inhibitor.[8,9] Axitinib (AG013736) (III) is an endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor in clinical practice.[10] [11] 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)thiazole (IV) is an EGFR TK inhibitor (IC50 = 0.06 μM).[12] 5-Bromo-3-{2-[5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-naphthalen-2-yl-4,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl]-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-ylidene}-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-one (V) is a potent anticancer agent with promising activity against HOP-92 (GI50 < 0.01 μM), HCT-116 (GI50 = 0.018 μM), SNB-75 (GI50 = 0.0159 μM), RXF 393 (GI50 = 0.0197 μM), and NCI/ADR-RES (GI50 = 0.0169 μM).[13] 3-Benzofuran-2-yl-5-(4-dimethylaminonaphthalen-1-yl)-4,5-dihydropyrazole-1-carbothioic acid amide (VI) was found to possess anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines, including HT-29 (IC50 = 1.3±0.4), PC-3 (IC50 = 0.9±0.5), MCF-7 (IC50 = 1.3±0.4), H-460 (IC50 = 1.4±0.8), A-549 (IC50 = 1.10±0.5), PaCa-2 (IC50 = 0.9±0.8), and Panc-1 (IC50 = 1.2±0.2) targeting tyrosinase.[14] All compounds I–VI contain the pyrazoline nucleus (Figure [1]). Furthermore, reports of other biological activities of pyrazoline analogues include antitubercular,[15] anticonvulsant,[16] antimicrobial,[17] [18] selective HER inhibition,[19] anti-inflammation,[20] anti-HIV,[17] carbonic anhydrase inhibition,[21] antiproliferatin[22] [23] and tyrosinase inhibition.[14] Hence, we have synthesized some novel pyrazoline analogues and report herein their cytotoxicity evaluation. The 4-fluorophenyl pyrazoline pharmacophore was chosen because the same pharmacophore is present in IV, which shows excellent anti-EGFR TK inhibition.
In the initial step, (2E)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(substituted-phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one derivatives 3a and 3b were synthesized from 4-fluoroacetophenone by Claisen–Schmidt condensation. 4-Fluroacetophenone 1 (0.05 mol, 6.07 mL) and aromatic aldehyde 2a or 2b (0.05 mol) were dissolved in absolute ethanol (50 mL) and 30% NaOH solution was added dropwise with continuous stirring at room temperature for 4 h.[15] [19] The reaction mixture was kept standing overnight and further poured into the crushed ice to obtain a pale-yellow precipitate of (2E)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(substituted-phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one derivatives 3a and 3b. In the subsequent step an equimolar mixture of 3a or 3b and substituted phenyl semicarbazide was heated at reflux in glacial acetic acid for 12 h to obtain the 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxy/4-nitrophenyl)-N-(substituted phenyl)pyrazole-1-carboxamide analogues 4a–n. The substituted phenyl semicarbazides were synthesized as per the reported method.[21] The reaction was monitored throughout by thin-layer chromatography (TLC silica gel 60 F254; mobile phase benzene/acetone, 8:2). The title compounds 4a–n were further recrystallized from ethanol to give the pure compounds in yields of 65–81%. The synthetic protocol is summarized in Scheme [1].
Analogues 4a–n were further characterized based on their IR, NMR (1H and 13C) and MS data. The prototype compound 4b showed amide stretching band at 3302 cm–1 for NH, and 1682 cm–1 for the carbonyl function (C=O) in the IR spectra. Other prominent absorption peaks were found at 1522, 810, and 690 cm–1 for C=N (pyrazoline), C–F and C–Cl, respectively. In the 1H NMR spectrum, two doublet peaks at δ = 3.16 and 3.78 ppm corresponding to the two protons of pyrazoline ring (Ha and Hb), a triplet at δ = 5.19 ppm corresponding to the other proton of the pyrazoline ring (Hc); a multiplet δ = 7.01–7.21 ppm was observed for the corresponding four aromatic protons (4-fluorophenyl); four doublet δ = 7.25, 7.68, 7.74, and 8.11 ppm for eight aromatic protons. The CONH peak was obtained as a singlet at δ = 8.36 ppm. The 13C NMR spectrum showed peaks at δ = 166.01, 165.19, 151.83, 149.63, 146.29, 134.02, 130.82, 129.61, 129.11, 127.92, 123.09, 120.91, 115.61, 61.31, and 39.43 ppm. The mass spectral data showed the [M+H]+ signal at m/z 439, corresponding to the molecular formula C22H16ClFN4O3.
Similarly, the prototype compound 4i showed amide stretching band at 3312 cm–1 for NH, and 1685 cm–1 for the carbonyl function (C=O) in the IR spectra. Other prominent absorption peaks were found at 1523, 812 and 694 cm–1 for C=N (pyrazoline), C–F and C–Cl, respectively. In the 1H NMR spectrum, two doublet peaks at δ = 3.42 and 3.58 ppm corresponding to the two of pyrazoline ring (Ha and Hb), a triplet at δ = 5.41 ppm corresponding to the another proton of pyrazoline ring (Hc); a singlet peak at δ = 3.84 ppm corresponding to the six methoxy protons (OCH3); a singlet peak at δ = 3.93 ppm corresponding to the three methoxy protons (OCH3); a singlet peak at δ = 7.23 ppm corresponding to the two aromatic protons (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl); a multiplet δ = 7.32–7.42 ppm was observed for the corresponding four aromatic proton (4-fluorophenyl); two doublet δ = 7.70 and 7.89 ppm for four aromatic protons (4-chlorophenyl). The CONH peak was obtained as singlet δ = 8.26 ppm. The 13C NMR showed peaks at δ = 166.71, 165.02, 151.83, 150.63, 137.89, 137.23, 134.02, 130.81, 129.99, 129.63, 129.11, 123.01, 115.66, 104.33, 61.95, 56.56, 56.24, and 39.41 ppm. The mass spectral data showed the [M+H]+ signal at m/z 484, corresponding to the molecular formula C25H23ClFN3O4. The purity was checked by microanalysis (C, H and N analysis).
Cytotoxicity
The cytotoxicity of analogues 4a–n was tested against two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) according to the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay.[24] The percent growth control was recorded for each drug at four different drug molar concentrations (10–7, 10–6, 10–5, and 10–4M). Most of the pyrazoline analogues showed significant cytotoxicity at higher dose of 10–4M. The cytotoxicity of compounds 4d (growth percent (GP) = –55.1%) and 4m (GP = –54.6%) was found to be comparable to the standard drug adriamycin (GP = –57.8%) at the higher dose concentration (10–4 M). The results of percent growth control at different molar concentrations are summarized in Table [1]. The plotted growth curve is shown in Figure [2a] (MCF-7) and Figure [2b] (MDA-MB-231).
a ADR = Adriamycin
Three further dose-related parameters, LC50, GI50, and TGI, were also recorded for each compound; these are given in Table [2]. The LC50 was found to be >100 μM for each of the pyrazoline analogues 4a–n against both the breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). The TGI was found to be between <0.1 and 97.3 μM against MCF-7 cancer cell lines and >100 μM against MDA-MB-231 cancer cell line. The pyrazoline analogues 4a–n showed promising cytotoxicity against the MCF-7 (GI50 = <0.1 to 42.9 μM), whereas the cytotoxicity was found to be moderate or low against MDA-MB-231 (GI50 = 45.8 to >100 μM). Eight compounds, 4d, 4j, 4n, 4l, 4f, 4c, 4e, and 4g showed less cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cancer cell line, with GI50 ranging between 21.3 and 42.9 μM. Five compounds, 4i (GI50 = 6.6 μM), 4k (GI50 = 12.4 μM), 4a (GI50 = 14.2 μM), 4h (GI50 = 14.9 μM) and 4m (GI50 = 16.0 μM) showed moderate cytotoxicity against MCF-7. N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide (4b) showed the highest cytotoxicity among the series, with GI50 of <0.1 μM against the cancer cell line MCF-7. The cytotoxicity of compound 4b and the standard drug adriamycin (GI50 = <0.1 μM) was found to be equal against the MCF-7 cancer cell line. The images of growth for some of the pyrazoline having significant cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cancer cell line are shown in Figure [3].
a NE = Not evaluated
b ADR = Adriamycin.
All the pyrazoline analogues showed moderate or low cytotoxicity against the MDA-MB-231 cancer cell line, and compound 4b showed the highest cytotoxicity among the series of pyrazoles 4a–n, with GI50 of 45.8 μM. Images of growth for some of the pyrazoline with significant anticancer activity against MDA-MB-231 cancer cell line are shown in Figure [4].
Structure activity relationship studies (SAR) were established with the anticancer data (GI50) and the results are summarized in Figure [5].
Pyrazolines with a 4-nitrophenyl substituent at position 5 of the pyrazoline showed higher anticancer activity than those with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl substitution. Furthermore, substrates with a 4-chloro substitution at the N-phenyl group showed the maximum anticancer activity. The order of anticancer activity was found to be 4-Cl>4-F>2-Cl>4-Br>4-OCH3>4-CH3>2,6-(CH3)2. The anticancer results showed that electron-withdrawing substituents at the N-phenyl group were found to be more significant than electron-releasing substitutions.
In conclusion, novel pyrazolines have been synthesized in satisfactory yield. All the pyrazoline analogues were evaluated for cytotoxicity against two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide (4b) showed the most promising anticancer activity among the series. Further structure activity relationships are also presented. Pyrazolines with 4-nitrophenyl substitution at position 5 of the pyrazoline showed higher anticancer activity and 4-chloro-substitution on the N-phenyl group led to maximum anticancer activity.
