Novel Regioselective Synthesis of 1,3,4,5-Tetrasubstituted Pyrazoles and Biochemical Valuation on F<sub>1</sub>F<sub>O</sub>-ATPase and Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore Formation

An efficient, eco-compatible, and very cheap method for the construction of fully substituted pyrazoles (Pzs) via eliminative nitrilimine-alkene 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (ENAC) reaction was developed in excellent yield and high regioselectivity. Enaminones and nitrilimines generated in situ were se...

description An efficient, eco-compatible, and very cheap method for the construction of fully substituted pyrazoles (Pzs) via eliminative nitrilimine-alkene 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (ENAC) reaction was developed in excellent yield and high regioselectivity. Enaminones and nitrilimines generated in situ were selected as dipolarophiles and dipoles, respectively. A deep screening of the employed base, solvent, and temperature was carried out to optimize reaction conditions. Recycling tests of ionic liquid were performed, furnishing efficient performance until six cycles. Finally, a plausible mechanism of cycloaddition was proposed. Then, the effect of three different structures of Pzs was evaluated on the F<sub>1</sub>F<sub>O</sub>-ATPase activity and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening. The Pz derivatives’ titration curves of <b>6a</b>, <b>6h</b>, and <b>6o</b> on the F<sub>1</sub>F<sub>O</sub>-ATPase showed a reduced activity of 86%, 35%, and 31%, respectively. Enzyme inhibition analysis depicted an uncompetitive mechanism with the typical formation of the tertiary complex enzyme-substrate-inhibitor (<i>ESI</i>). The dissociation constant of the <i>ESI</i> complex (<i>K</i><sub>i</sub>’) in the presence of the <b>6a</b> had a lower order of magnitude than other Pzs. The pyrazole core might set the specific mechanism of inhibition with the F<sub>1</sub>F<sub>O</sub>-ATPase, whereas specific functional groups of Pzs might modulate the binding affinity. The mPTP opening decreased in Pz-treated mitochondria and the Pzs’ inhibitory effect on the mPTP was concentration-dependent with <b>6a</b> and <b>6o</b>. Indeed, the mPTP was more efficiently blocked with 0.1 mM <b>6a</b> than with 1 mM <b>6a</b>. On the contrary, 1 mM <b>6o</b> had stronger desensitization of mPTP formation than 0.1 mM <b>6o</b>. The F<sub>1</sub>F<sub>O</sub>-ATPase is a target of Pzs blocking mPTP formation.
