Experimental design, materials and methods

General information

The reagents used for the reaction are commercially available reagent class and were used without further purification. The chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, TCI or SD-Fine. The reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography using pre-coated Merck silica gel 60 F254 plates and analytical TLCs were conducted using ethyl acetate and hexanes as eluent. Then the spots were observed under UV light. The final compounds were purified by silica gel column chomatography using ethyl acetate and hexane as eluent and organic solvents were concentrated under reduced pressure on the rotary evaporator.

The purified samples were dissolved in either CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 to acquire the NMR spectra using Agilent NMR. 1H NMR and 13C NMR were recorded at 400 and 100 MHz respectively. The 1H NMR Data are expressed in chemical shift (δ, ppm) and multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, dt = doublet of triplet, dd = doublet of doublets, m = multiplet), coupling constant (J, Hz) and integration. The LCMS measurments were performed on Agilent LC-MS using 2 mg/mL of the solutions in HPLC grade acetonitrile or methanol. The HPLC was recorded using Waters (USA) connected to W2998 Photo-Diode Array Detector, Column: Syncronis-C18, 4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm, Mobile Phase-A: 0.1% Formic acid in Water, Mobile Phase-B: Acetonitrile.

The OTDs were screened for their anti-proliferative potency against human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (HepG2, HCCLM3) and normal Liver human cell line (LO2) using MTT assay [2].

General procedure

To a stirred solution of 1-methyl-1H-indazole-3-carboxylic acid (1 gm, 0.0056 mol) in anhydrous ethanol (15 mL). The catalytic amount of conc. Sulfuric acid was added and refluxed for 6 h. The excess of ethanol was concentrated off on a rota-evaporator. The reaction mixture was cooled and the contents of the flask were transferred to a separating funnel containing about 250 mL of distilled water. The synthesized ester was extracted three times with 50 mL Ethyl acetate each. The organic layers were mixed and washed with brine and dried over Sodium sulfate. Ethyl acetate was then distilled off under reduced pressure to get the ester 1 in 89% yield.

To a stirred solution of ethyl 1-methyl-1H-indazole-3-carboxylate 1 (0.5 gm, 0.0024 mol) taken in a round bottom flask containing 250 mL of ethanol, 99% hydrazine hydrate (0.15 mL, 0.0029 mol) was added and refluxed for 6 h. The excess of ethanol and hydrazine hydrate were distilled off under reduced pressure. Ice-cold water was poured into the above reaction mixture and the precipitate so obtained was filtered off and recrystallized from a suitable solvent and the product N-methy indazole-acid hydrazide [3] was obtained in 92% yield.

Procedure for the synthesis of 3a-k

A mixture of 1-methyl-1H-indazole-3-carbohydrazide (1eq), different aromatic acids (2a-k) (1eq) and phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) (2 mL) were taken in round bottom flask and refluxed for 8 h. The contents of the reaction mixture were cooled and poured onto the crushed ice. The solid obtained was filtered, treated with potassium carbonate, washed with water and purified by column chromatography using ethyl acetate and hexane as eluent to afford oxadiazoles.
