Abstract

AbstractNovel hybrids, pyrazolinylpyrazoles, and pyrazolinyltriazoles were designed, synthesized, and screened for their anticancer activity. Eleven compounds were selected by the National Cancer Institute (NCI)/USA for anticancer screening at single high dose (10−5 M) in full NCI 60 cell panels. Two compounds: 4‐aminopyrazole‐5‐carbonitrile, 5c (NSC‐747630/1) and ethyl 4‐aminopyrazole‐5‐ carboxylate, 7d (NSC‐747634/1) were the most active candidates of the series and were selected for further evaluation at five dose screening as they displayed significant growth inhibition with full panel median growth inhibition (GI50) 5.47 and 2.24 μM, respectively. Both 5c and 7d hybrids exhibited broad spectrum antitumor activity; however 7d showed moderate selectivity (selectivity ratio 3.6) toward leukemia.
