Abstract

A series of compounds having the pyranopyrazole pharmacophore were synthesised by the traditional method and then by an unreported rapid four-component microwave assisted method. The microwave strategy required substantially shorter reaction times as compared to the traditional method. The prepared molecules were tested in-vitro for their cytotoxic activity against the Hep3B cancer cell lines. The activity results were subsequently rationalized for a quick structure-activity relationship leading to the conclusion that the presence of certain heteroatom substituents at a 3-position of the pharmacophore may be crucial for anticancer potency. Keywords: Anticancer, green chemistry, heterocycles, microwave assisted synthesis, pyranopyrazole.
