The transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) controls many physiological processes including inflammation, immunity, and apoptosis. In this study, a novel series of 6-phenoxy-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine-3-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized as potent anti-inflammatory agents, which acted on tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) as inhibitors of NF-κB activation. We showed that compounds 6h (6-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine-3-carboxamide) and 6i (6-(3-tolyloxy)-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine-3-carboxamide) showed more prominent anti-inflammatory activity than other compounds, with similar activities as the reference drug dihydrotanshinone; compound 6i showed the lowest cellular toxicity among the tested compounds. In vivo evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity showed that compound 6i exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity with 58.19% inhibition at 50?mg/kg intraperitoneal (i.p.), with equal efficacy as the positive control indomethacin (100?mg/kg i.p.; 59.21% inhibition).

A new series of triazolophthalazine derivatives was designed and synthesized as topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitors and DNA intercalators. The synthesized derivatives were evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxic activities against three human cancer cell lines: HepG2, MCF-7, and HCT-116 cells. Compound IXb was the most potent counterpart with IC50 values of 5.39 ± 0.4, 3.81 ± 0.2, and 4.38 ± 0.3 μM, as it was about 1.47, 1.77, and 1.19 times more active than doxorubicin (IC50 = 7.94 ± 0.6, 6.75 ± 0.4, and 5.23 ± 0.3 μM) against HepG2, MCF-7, and HCT-116 cells, respectively. Additionally, the binding affinity of the synthesized compounds toward the DNA molecule was assessed using the DNA/methyl green assay. Compound?IXb showed an excellent DNA binding affinity with an IC50 value of 27.16 ± 1.2 μM, which was better than that of the reference drug doxorubicin (IC50 = 31.02 ± 1.80 μM). Moreover, compound IXb was the most potent member among the tested compounds when investigated for their Topo II inhibitory activity. Furthermore, compound IXb induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells and arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. Additionally, compound IXb showed Topo II poisoning effects at 2.5 μM and Topo II catalytic inhibitory effects at 5 and 10 μM. Finally, molecular docking studies were carried out against the DNA–Topo II complex and DNA, to investigate the binding patterns of the designed compounds.
N-Chlorination-induced, oxidative ring contraction of 1,4-dimethoxyphthalazines

A rarely explored oxidative ring contraction of electron-rich 1,2-diazine is described. Upon treatment with an electrophilic chlorinating reagent (TCICA), 1,4-dimethoxyphthalazines undergo an N-chlorination-induced ring contraction that is accompanied by the loss of one nitrogen atom. The scope of this unusual reactivity was examined with a range of 1,4-dimethoxyphthalazine derivatives. In addition, a mechanism proceeding via a bicyclic species was proposed on the basis of an isolated reaction intermediate and DFT calculations.
