Pyrazole-based lamellarin O analogues: synthesis, biological evaluation and structure-activity relationships.

ABSTRACT: A library of pyrazole-based lamellarin O analogues was synthesized from easily accessible 3(5)-aryl-1H-pyrazole-5(3)-carboxylates which were subsequently modified by bromination, N-alkylation and Pd-catalysed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. Synthesized ethyl and methyl 3,4-diaryl-1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates were evaluated for their physicochemical property profiles and in vitro cytotoxicity against three human colorectal cancer cell lines HCT116, HT29, and SW480. The most active compounds inhibited cell proliferation in a low micromolar range. Selected ethyl 3,4-diaryl-1-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylates were further investigated for their mode of action. Results of combined viability staining via Calcein AM/Hoech
