Abstract:An efficient, straightforward, and metal-free methodology to rapidly access functionalised pyrazolo-[1,5-c]quinazolinones via a [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition and regioselective ring expansion process was developed. The synthesised compounds were characterised by methods such as NMR, HRMS, and HPLC. The in vitro antiproliferative activity against A549 cells (non-small cell lung cancer) was significant for compounds 4i, 4m, and 4n with IC50 values of 17.0, 14.2, and 18.1 μM, respectively. In particular, compound… Show more
“…The Xu group described similar structures with significant antitumor properties and inhibitory activity against cyclin-dependent kinases CDK9 and CDK2. 16 More recently, the photophysical properties of pyrazolo-[1,5- c ]quinazolines have been scrutinized by Sutherland et al 17 These platforms appeared to be interesting chromophores with high fluorescence quantum yields, paving the way for possible bioimaging applications.…”
