Abstract
A series of novel pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine and pyrimidine functionalized 1,2,3-triazole derivatives 8a-g and 9a-g were prepared starting from 6-trifluoromethylpyridine-2(1H)one 2 via selective O-alkylation, followed by cyclisation using hydrazine hydrate to obtain 6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-amine 4. Compound 4 was diazotized followed by reaction with sodium azide, resulted in 3-azido-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine 5. Compound 5 was further cyclized with N-/O-propargylated pyrimidine derivatives under Sharpless conditions and obtained compounds 6 and 7, respectively. Each set of compounds 6 and 7 were alkylated with different alkyl halides and obtained respective products 8 and 9. All the products were screened for cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines such as A549-Lung (CCL-185), MCF7-Breast (HTB-22), DU145-Prostate (HTB-81) and HeLa-Cervical (CCL-2), compounds 9d, 9e and 9f which showed promising activity have been identified. The products were also screened for antimicrobial, anti bio-film and MBC activities. Promising compounds in each case have been identified.
