Arginase performs the first enzymatic step in polyamine biosynthesis in Leishmania and represents a promising target for drug development. Polyamines in Leishmania are involved in trypanothione synthesis, which neutralize the oxidative burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) that are produced by host macrophages to kill the parasite. In an attempt to synthesize arginase inhibitors, six 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives with different substituents at the 4-position of the phenyl group were synthesized. All compounds were initially tested at 100 μM concentration against Leishmania amazonensis ARG (LaARG), showing inhibitory activity ranging from 36 to 74%. Two compounds, 1 (R=H) and 6 (R=CF3), showed arginase inhibition >70% and IC50 values of 12 μM and 47 μM, respectively. Thus, the kinetics of LaARG inhibition were analyzed for compounds 1 and 6 and revealed that these compounds inhibit the enzyme by an uncompetitive mechanism, showing Kis values, and dissociation constants for ternary complex enzyme-substrate-inhibitor, of 8.5 ± 0.9 μM and 29 ± 5 μM, respectively. Additionally, the molecular docking studies proposed that these two uncompetitive inhibitors interact with different LaARG binding sites, where compound 1 forms more H-bond interactions with the enzyme than compound 6. These compounds showed low activity against L. amazonensis free amastigotes obtained from mice lesions when assayed with as much as 30 μM. The maximum growth inhibition reached was between 20 and 30% after 48 h of incubation. These results suggest that this system can be promising for the design of potential antileishmanial compounds.

5-Amino-1-p-tolyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (1) was used for the preparation of some novel pyrazoles and pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines 2-10. Moreover, the cytotoxicity and in vitro anticancer activities of the prepared compounds were also assessed against the MCF-7 breast cancer, HepG2 liver cancer, and A549 lung carcinoma cell lines, along with investigation of the effect of the synthesized compounds on the expression of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA). The tested compounds exhibited remarkable cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and HepG2 cells. Among the tested compounds, 2 and 9 revealed promising anticancer activity compared to the activity of the commonly used anticancer drug, doxorubicin, by inhibiting the expression of uPA.

A one-pot synthesis using 5-aminopyrazole derivatives 1 with ethoxymethylenemalononitrile (EMMN), ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate (EMCA) or diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (DEMM) gave pyrazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine compounds 2,4,8. Also, the one step reaction of EMCA with hydrazine hydrate afforded ethyl(4-ethoxycarbonyl-5-pyrazolyl)aminomethylenecyanoacetate 3c. On the other hand, the reaction of 1-substituted 5-aminopyrazole-4-carboxamide 9 with EMMN afforded pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine compounds 10.
