ABSTRACT
An eco-friendly facile synthesis of a series of twenty 1-(4/6-substitutedbenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-(phenyl/substitutedphenyl)indeno[1,2-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones 7a-t was achieved by the reaction of 2-(benzoyl/substitutedbenzoyl)-(1H)-indene-1,3(2H)-dione 3a-t and 2-hydrazinyl-4/6-substitutedbenzo[d]thiazole 6a-t in presence of freshly dried ethanol and glacial acetic acid under reflux conditions in good yields. The newly synthesized derivatives were well characterized using different physical and spectral techniques (FTIR, 1H NMR & 13C NMR, and HRMS). All the compounds were subjected to assess their in vitro α-amylase and glucose diffusion inhibitory activity. Amongst them, the compounds 7i and 7l showed better α-amylase inhibitory activity demonstrating IC50 values of 92.99±1.94 µg/mL and 95.41±3.92 µg/mL, respectively in comparison to the standard drug acarbose (IC50 value of 103.60±2.15 µg/mL). The derivatives 7d and 7k exhibited good glucose diffusion inhibition with values of 2.25±1.16 µg/mL and 2.63±1.45 µg/mL, respectively with standard reference acarbose (2.76±0.55 µg/mL). The observed α-amylase inhibitory activity findings were corroborated through molecular docking investigations, particularly for the highly active compounds 7i (binding energy -8.0 kcal/mol) and 7l (binding energy -8.2 kcal/mol) respectively, in comparison to acarbose with a value of binding energy -6.9 kcal/mol for α-amylase.

The search for new anticancer agents is considered a dynamic field of medicinal chemistry. In recent years, the synthesis of compounds with anticancer potential has increased and a large number of structurally varied compounds displaying potent anticancer activities have been published. Pyrazole is an important biologically active scaffold that possesses nearly all types of biological activities. The aim of this review is to collate literature work reported by researchers to provide an overview on in vivo and in vitro anticancer activities of pyrazole based derivatives among the diverse biological activities displayed by them and also to present recent efforts made on this heterocyclic moiety regarding anticancer activities. This review has been driven by the increasing number of publications on this issue, which have been reported in the literature since the end of the 20th century (from 1995-to date).

We report a convenient and efficient synthesis of indeno[1,2-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones (4aâo) by the reaction of a variety of 2-acyl-(1H)-indene-1,3(2H)-diones (1) and 2-hydrazinylbenzo[d]thiazole/2-hydrazinyl-6-substitutedbenzo[d]thiazoles (2) in the presence of glacial acetic acid in good yields. The structure of the compounds thus prepared were confirmed by analytical and spectral (FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS) techniques. All the synthesized indeno[1,2-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones (4aâo) were assayed for their in vitro Type II diabetes inhibitory activity by using Acarbose as standard drug and in vitro antimicrobial activity utilizing Streptomycin and Fluconazole as reference drugs. Among the synthesized derivatives, 4e (IC50 = 6.71 µg/mL) was found to be more potent against α-glucosidase enzyme as compared with the standard Acarbose (IC50 = 9.35 µg/mL) and 4i (IC50 = 11.90 µg/mL) exhibited good inhibitory activity against α-amylase enzyme as compared with the standard Acarbose (IC50 = 22.87 µg/mL). Also, all the titled compounds showed good antimicrobial activity. In addition, in vitro α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition were supported by docking studies performed on the derivatives 4e and 4o, respectively.
ABSTRACT
An unprecedented formation of 11H-benzo[5,6][1,4]thiazino[3,4-a]isoindol-11-ones through a one-step reaction of differently substituted 2-aminobenzenethiols and 2-bromo-(2/3-substitutedphenyl)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-diones in freshly dried ethanol under reflux conditions has been investigated. This unique transformation probably occurs through an initial nucleophilic substitution followed by ring opening and subsequent intramolecular cyclization. The structures of all the synthesized benzo[1,4]thiazino isoindolinones were established by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. This approach was found to be simple and convenient and provides several advantages such as substantial atom economy, short reaction time and operational simplicity.
