Arch Pharm (Weinheim). 1998 Sep;331(9):269-72. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1521-4184(19989)331:9<269::aid-ardp269>3.0.co;2-7.

Abstract

In view of the biological relevance of triazole-based heterocyclic structures as antifungal, antiviral, and antitumor agents, we have synthesized a series of substituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]-1,2,3-triazoles (2e-h, 2j, 4b) which we evaluated for their cytostatic and antiviral (HIV-1 included) activity and for their capability to inhibit the multiplication of various human pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Moreover, the biological activities of a few compounds, namely pyrazolo[3,4-d]oxazoles (3a-e) and pyrazolo[3,4-d]-1,2,3-triazoles (2a-d, 4a, 5), previously obtained by us but not investigated for their biological activity, were also studied. Only compounds 3a-e were endowed with a significative antiproliferative activity on the human lymphoblastoid cell line MT-4 cells. All pyrazole derivatives proved ineffective in protecting cell cultures against the HIV-1-induced cytopathogenicity, and none of the compounds was active against the bacteria and fungi tested.
