Treatment of infectious diseases is an ever-increasing problem owing to the growing number of multi-drug resistant pathogens. Nosocomial infections are on the rise due to antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, which have led to increased morbidity and mortality in many hospitals. Cancer is a major disease worldwide [1] ; colorectal cancer particularly, is the second leading cause of death by cancer in Western countries and has one of the highest mortality rates in both men and women. These cancer patients are especially susceptible to nosocomial infections; as a result of their immunosuppressed systems (due to the treatments associated with illness); which in turn leads to prolonged stays, disability and economic burden [2,3]. Therefore, the search for novel compounds that displayed a broad range of therapeutic activities that can address these major health problems is of outmost importance [4]. New therapeutic drugs that contain a heterocyclic core are on the forefront of pharmaceutical research [5,6]. Pyrazoles, (1,2-azoles) have proven to be a remarkable scaffold for the synthesis of biologically active compounds [7-9] thanks to their wide range of medical applications that center mainly on antimicrobial [10-12] , antifungal [8,12,13] , antiinflammatory [7] , analgesic, and anxiolytic activities [13,14]. Some pyrazole derivatives have also shown antitumor activities towards several cancer cell lines, including leukemia (K562), HeLa cervix adenocarcinoma and Fem-x melanoma [14]. Consequently, in recent years pyrazole-base compounds have become a target of great interest.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
