Abstract
Pyrazole has been the topic of interest for thousands of researchers across the world because of its wide spectrum pharmacological activities. Various structural modifications of the pyrazole nucleus have been made to explore its characteristics and biological potential. The present work aims to review the use of molecular modeling in the designing of novel pyrazole analogs that may target various receptors such as protein kinase inhibitor, tyrosine kinase, Aurora-A kinase, tumor growth factor (TGF), cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), which are significant for the management of cancer. An insight has been given in this article for the importance of pyrazoles in the treatment of cancer and the perspectives that they hold for future research.
