Abstract
A novel series of formyl-pyrazoline derivatives was synthesised through a well-defined pathway utilising chalcones as key intermediates. These derivatives were characterised using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR and mass spectrometry. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using the carrageenan-induced paw edema model, revealing a spectrum of anti-inflammatory effects ranging from 30.73 % to 52.29 %. Notably, the ortho-nitrile substituted pyrazoline (5f) exhibited superior anti-inflammatory activity, with a percentage inhibition of 52.29 %, compared to other compounds in the series. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effects on the viability of MCF-7 breast cancer cells were evaluated. Here, the meta-chloro substituted pyrazoline (5d) displayed a significant IC₅₀ value of 14.181 µM. Molecular docking was employed to explore the binding interactions of the protein-ligand complex (PDB: 4COX), and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the stability of the complex. Additionally, the ADME properties of the derivatives were studied to predict the pharmacokinetics of the synthesised pyrazolines.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
