Abstract
The poor selectivity, significant toxicity, high cost, and emergence of resistance of conventional chemotherapies are driving motive for the ongoing search for novel anticancer agents. New pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazolopyrimidines were synthesized and examined as antiproliferative agents, and the possible molecular mechanism(s) of action were explored. The mass and elemental analyses, alongside the IR,1H, and 13C NMR spectra, confirmed the proposed structures of the obtained compounds. Derivatives 4 and 7 demonstrated the best antiproliferative profile against HepG2 cancer cells at 4 µM, with a high selectivity index of ∼7–9 folds. They increased the S phase cell population by 51% and 40% and caused a 5- and 11-fold increase in the p21 protein. Compound 7 was superior in inhibiting HepG2 cell migration and delayed wound healing, reducing migration rates by 55% and 90%, respectively. Future studies on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, antimetastatic, and antitumor activities in animal models would be a robust advance.
