Abstract:
Background: Pyrazolidine 5,3-dione derivatives have a wide range of biological and
pharmacological activities and play an important role in the sub-structures of various drugs. They
also have inhibitory and antimicrobial properties, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antituberculosis,
anti-hypertensive, anti-cancer, and anti-Alzheimer. The purpose of the current study
was to investigate a number of synthesis methods of pyrazolidine-3,5-dione and 1 phenylpyrazolidine-
3,5-dione in the presence and absence of ultrasound bath and their anti-cancer effects on mcf-7
breast cancer cells.
Methods: In this study, pyrazolidine-3,5-dione and 1-phenylpyrazolidine-3,5-dione were synthesized
using hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, and diethyl malonate by different methods. The advantage
of this research compared to other studies is the use of different methods (3 methods and each
method were performed in two different conditions, toalling 6 methods) for the synthesis of these
two derivatives. The effect of two synthesized derivatives on MCF-7 cell line breast cancer cells
was also investigated using MTT (methylthiazole tetrazolium) test. IR, 13CNMR, and HNMR
spectroscopy methods have also been used to determine the structure of products.
Results: The results of FT-IR and NMR spectrum analysis confirm the synthesized pyrazolidine-
3,5-dione and 1-phenylpyrazolidine-3,5-dione. Based on the results in zero doses (control
group) and 10 μM of all Samples after 24 hours, no significant difference in the number of
cells was observed. However, the number of cells significantly decreased after treatment with
20 μM dose of both pyrazolidine-3,5-dione and 1-phenylpyrazolidine-3,5-dione. Also, there was
no significant difference in reducing cancer cell proliferation between pyrazolidine-3,5-dione
and 1-phenylpyrazolidine-3,5-dione samples. In addition, treatment of cancer cells with 40 μM
of both hydrazine and phenylhydrazine samples after 24 hours caused approximately 50%
cell death and reduced the number of cancer cells by approximately half compared to the control
group.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, treatment of cancer cells with a dose of 40 μM
in both samples of pyrazolidine-3,5-dione and 1-phenylpyrazolidine-3,5-dione after 24 hours
caused cell death in approximately 50% of cells and the number of cancer cells is almost half that
of the control group.
