A series of pyridopyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives was synthesized in two facile steps. Mannich-type three-component condensation afforded the 2,6-diaryl piperidin-4-one derivatives, which underwent intramolecular cyclization in the presence of hydrazine or phenylhydrazine to yield the corresponding pyridopyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives. All the derivatives of pyridopyridazin-3(2H)-one, except 3e and 3f, showed moderate activity against human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells. The higher degree of inhibition of MCF-7 cell proliferation shown by 2a–2f indicates the significance of the amide proton in pyridopyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives.
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.
