The synthesis of 1,5-diphenyl-3-styryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (B1) and 5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxystyryl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (B2) have been conducted from 1,5-diphenylpenta-1,4-dien-3-on (A1) and 1,5-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (A2). Heme polymerization inhibitory activity (HPIA) assay of the synthesized compounds has also been carried out. The first step of reaction was Claisen-Schmidt condensation of benzaldehyde derivatives and acetone using NaOH 20% and ethanol as solvent. Dibenzalacetone derivatives were reacted with phenylhydrazine using acetic acid to form N-phenylpyrazoline. The structure of products was characterized by FT-IR, GC-MS, DI-MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR The result of heme polymerization inhibitory activity assay showed that IC50 of B1 and B2 1.26 and 0.79 mM while quinine 1.26 mM. The result indicated that compound B2 was more potent as antimalarial than quinine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
