Design, synthesis and characterization of some new pyrazol-pyrimidine derivatives and evaluation of their biological activities

Abstract

In this work, we have reported a synthesis of some novel pyrazol-pyrimidine derivatives (3a-f) obtained by the reaction of substituted pyrazole aldehydes and barbituric acid derivatives in presence of L-proline as a catalyst via Knoevengal condensation reaction. The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral methods. From antibacterial activity, compounds 3d and 3f exhibited highest zone of inhibition as compared to standard drug gentamicin. Cytotoxicity results revealed that compound 3e exhibited a promising IC50 value against both the cell lines (A549 and MCF-7) as compared to the standard drug doxorubicin. Docking study discloses that, all the newly synthesized compounds displayed promising binding energies with the protein receptor EGFR kinase domain.
