Biologically Potent Pyrazoline Derivatives from Versatile (2)-1-(4- Chlorophenyl)-3-[4-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-one

A series of new biologically potent N-substitutedpyrazoline derivatives have been synthesized by reacting hydrazine hydrate and its derivatives with (2)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-[4-(propan-2- yl)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-one, which in turn prepared by the base catalysed Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction of 4-(propan-2-yl)benzaldehyde and 4-chloroacetophenone. All the synthesized compounds, 2a-e, 3a-d, 4a,b and 5a-c were screened for their in vitro antibacterial, antioxidant, antiproliferative properties and compounds 3b, 4b were evaluated for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. The docking studies were carried out for these compounds against α-amylase with TREX1 (PDB:3B60) to predict their putative interactions. Some of the tested compounds showed significant antibacterial, antioxidant, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory activity and molecular binding.
