    4,5-Dihydro-1H-pyrazole: An indispensable scaffold
    (Informa Healthcare, 2014) Alex, Jimi Marin; Kumar, Raj
    Pyrazoles, categorized as nitrogen-containing heterocycles, are well known for their interminable participation in the field of perpetual research and development of therapeutical active agents. As a consequence pyrazoles became an inevitable core of numerous drugs having diverse activities. The broad spectrum of activities portrayed by the pyrazoles instigated the researchers to modify the pyrazole ring as 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles commonly known as 2-pyrazolines. The present review is a concerted effort to retrace compounds covered from 2009-till date which owe diverse biological activities to the 2-pyrazoline scaffold and also condenses the retro-synthetic approaches employed for their synthesis. This endeavor culminated in revelation that inhibitory potential varied when the substituents in particular N-substituents of 2-pyrazolines were altered. ? 2014 Informa UK Ltd.

    Pyrazoloquinazolines: Synthetic strategies and bioactivities
    (2015) Garg, Mansi; Chauhan, Monika; Singh, Pankaj Kumar; Singh, Pankaj Kumar; Alex, Jimi Marin; Kumar, Raj
    Numerous N-heterocycles are indisputably evidenced to exhibit myriad biological activities. In the recent past, attempts made to condense the various heterocycles have resulted in derivatives possessing better bioactivities. Among many such condensed heterocycles, pyrazoloquinazolines have managed to hold the attention of many researchers, owing to the broad spectrum of activities they portray. This review is the first of its kind to congregate the various pyrazoloquinazolines reported until now and categorizes these structurally isomeric classes into eleven different groups based on the fusion pattern of the ring such as [1,5-c], [5,1-b], [4,3-h], etc. Furthermore, this review is a concerted effort to highlight design, synthetic strategies as well as biological activities of each class of this condensed heterocycle. Structure-activity relationship studies and in silico approaches wherever reported have also been discussed. In addition, manuscript also offers scope for design, synthesis and generation of libraries of unreported classes of pyrazoloquinazolines for the biological evaluation.

    Design, microwave-mediated synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 4 aryl(alkyl)amino-3-nitroquinoline and 2,4-diaryl(dialkyl) amino-3-nitroquinolines as anticancer agents
    (Elsevier, 2015) Chauhan, Monika; Rana, Anil; Alex, Jimi Marin; Negi, Arvind; Singh, Sandeep; Kumar, Raj
    Design, microwave-assisted synthesis of novel 4-aryl (alkyl)amino-3-nitroquinoline (1a–1l) and 2,4-diaryl (dialkyl)amino-3-nitroquinolines (2a–2k and 3a) via regioselective and complete nucleophilic substitution of 2,4-dichloro-3-nitroquinoline, respectively in water are presented. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for the first time for antiproliferative activity against EGFR overexpressing human lung (A-549 and H-460) and colon (HCT-116-wild type and HCT-116-p53 null) cancer cell lines. Some notions about structure–activity relationships (SAR) are presented. Compounds 2e, 2f, 2j and 3a overall exhibited excellent anticancer activity comparable to erlotinib which was used as a positive control. Molecular modeling studies disclosed the recognition pattern of the compounds and also supported the observed SAR.
