    Design, synthesis, biological evaluation of 3,5-diaryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole carbaldehydes as non-purine xanthine oxidase inhibitors: Tracing the anticancer mechanism via xanthine oxidase inhibition

    Xanthine oxidase (XO) has been primarily targeted for the development of anti-hyperuriciemic /anti-gout agents as it catalyzes the conversion of xanthine and hypoxanthine into uric acid. XO overexpression in various cancer is very well correlated due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and metabolic activation of carcinogenic substances during the catalysis. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a series of 3,5-diaryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole carbaldehyde derivatives (2a-2x) as xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs). A docking model was developed for the prediction of XO inhibitory activity of our novel compounds. Furthermore, our compounds anticancer activity results in low XO expression and XO-harboring cancer cells both in 2D and 3D-culture models are presented and discussed. Among the array of synthesized compounds, 2b and 2m emerged as potent XO inhibitors having IC50 values of 9.32 � 0.45 �M and 10.03 � 0.43 �M, respectively. Both compounds induced apoptosis, halted the cell cycle progression at the G1 phase, elevated ROS levels, altered mitochondrial membrane potential, and inhibited antioxidant enzymes. The levels of miRNA and expression of redox sensors in cells were also altered due to increase oxidative stress induced by our compounds. Compounds 2b and 2m hold a great promise for further development of XOIs for the treatment of XO-harboring tumors. � 2021 Elsevier Inc.

    Synthesis and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of 5,6 dihydropyrazolo/pyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline derivatives
    (Elsevier, 2014) Kumar, Deependra; Kaur, Gagandeep; Negi, Arvind; Kumar, Sanjeev; Singh, Sandeep; Kumar, Raj
    Some 5,6-dihydropyrazolo/pyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline derivatives were rationally designed, synthesized and evaluated for in vitro xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity for the first time. Some notions about structure activity relationships are presented. The compounds 6g, 6h and 6e were found to be significantly active against XO. The compound 6g emerged as the most potent XO inhibitor as compared to allopurinol and free radical scavenger. The molecular docking of 6g into the XO active site highlighted its mode of binding and important interactions such as hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking with amino acid residues like Ser876, Thr1010, Phen914, Phe1009 and Phe649 and its close proximity to dioxothiomolybdenum (MOS).
