TL;DR: The preliminary results revealed that the compound 3d exhibits promising antibacterial and antifungal activity and compound 3j inhibited proliferation of HeLa, HT29, A549 and MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 values of 33, 35, 30 and 36 μM, respectively.
Abstract: The present work describes the synthesis, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity of 2,4-thiazolidinedione-5-acetic acid amides 3a–n. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. All compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity by twofold serial dilution technique. The preliminary results revealed that the compound 3d exhibits promising antibacterial and antifungal activity. The cytotoxic (MTT) activity of 2,4-thiazolidinedione-5-acetic acid amides were tested in four tumour cell lines. We found that compound 3j inhibited proliferation of HeLa, HT29, A549 and MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 values of 33, 35, 30 and 36 μM, respectively.

TL;DR: The different synthesis methods and the pharmacological properties of pyrazole derivatives developed by many scientists around the globe are highlighted.
Abstract: Pyrazole and its derivatives are considered a pharmacologically important active scaffold that possesses almost all types of pharmacological activities. The presence of this nucleus in pharmacological agents of diverse therapeutic categories such as celecoxib, a potent anti-inflammatory, the antipsychotic CDPPB, the anti-obesity drug rimonabant, difenamizole, an analgesic, betazole, a H2-receptor agonist and the antidepressant agent fezolamide have proved the pharmacological potential of the pyrazole moiety. Owing to this diversity in the biological field, this nucleus has attracted the attention of many researchers to study its skeleton chemically and biologically. This review highlights the different synthesis methods and the pharmacological properties of pyrazole derivatives. Studies on the synthesis and biological activity of pyrazole derivatives developed by many scientists around the globe are reported.
