Abstract

A series of novel 3, 4-disubstituted pyrazoles were synthesized. The cytotoxicity against U87MG glioma cell line have been investigated in vitro and three of these compounds showed promising inhibitory activity on cell growth with an IC50 lower than 90μM. AutoDock molecular docking into type I TGF-β receptor (TGF-β-RI; PDB: 1py5) has been done for lead optimization of the mentioned compounds as potential TGF-β-RI1 inhibitors. In particular, ...
