As a result of the furfural reaction with diazonium, salts 1a-h the arylfuran-2-carbaldehydes 3a-h were synthesized. In the reaction of Wilgerodt-Kindler, arylfuran-2-carbaldehydes with sulfur and aryl piperazines was prepared 1-aryl-4-[(5-aryl-2-furyl)carbonothioyl]piperazines. The structures of target compounds 5a-l were confirmed by using 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized substances was evaluated by the value of the MIC and minimum fungicidal and bactericidal concentration. The findings exhibited that the compounds
possessed moderate antimicrobial potential. In vitro anticancer activity assessment on the full panel

Aim. Synthesis, structure determination, in vivo study of anti-inflammatory (anti-exudative) and ulcerogenic activity, estimation of an impact of novel pyrazolin-5-one bearing thiazolidin4-ones on liver function. Methods. Organic synthesis: multicomponent reactions (MCRs), [2+3]-cycloaddition reactions. Spectral methods: IR, LC-MS, 1H NMR. Biological methods: study of anti-cancer activity (NCI NIH, USA) protocol for 3-cell line panel); carrageenin-induced inflammatory paw edema model of white rats, biochemical laboratory tests (ALT, AST, ALP, γ-GGT levels determination); evaluation of ulcerogenic action. Results. The series of novel C-5 and N-3 substituted 2-[(1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) amino/imino]thiazolidin-4-ones had been synthesized using MCR and [2+3]-cycloaddition reactions as potential biologically active compounds. The results of screening anti-exudative activity revealed that the tested derivatives possess promising anti-inflammatory effect. The SARs were formed and possible mechanisms of their action were discussed. Conclusions. The results presented in paper suggest that the design and synthesis of new pyrazolin-5-on/ thiazolidin-4-one hybrids as potential molecules are an attractive area for the search for novel agents with promising pharmacological properties.
