Synthesis and Cellular Activity Evaluation of Tricyclic Pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidinones
摘要
Abstract
Our research group synthesized 48 tricyclic pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidinone compounds through a four-step process. We evaluated their inhibitory activity against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), human colon cancer cells (HT-29), and human gastric cancer cells (HGC-27) using the MTT assay. The synthesized compounds exhibited low inhibitory activity across all three cancer cell lines, showing a marked difference in anticancer potency compared to structurally similar tricyclic pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidinone derivatives. These results demonstrate that the position of the pyrazole ring significantly influences the physicochemical properties of tricyclic compounds, offering valuable insights for the development of novel anti-tumor lead compounds.
