Novel 4-{3-[2-(2-morpholin-4-yl-ethoxy)phenyl]-5-phenyl-pyrazol- 1-yl}benzenesulfonamide (7) was synthesized and evaluated for its anti-breast cancer activity. It was prepared by cyclocondensation reaction of morpholine-substituted β-diketone, 1-[2-(2-morpholin-4-yl-ethoxy)- phenyl]-3-phenyl-propane-1,3-dione (3) with 4-hydrazinobenzenesulfonamide hydrochloride (6). Chemical structure of titled compound (7) was confirmed by FTIR, 1H & 13C NMR and HRMS spectroscoic analyses. The anticancer activity of titled compound 7 was evaluated against MCF-7 breast cancer cell line by MTT assay. Molecular docking was performed to predict its plausible binding with the estrogen receptor α(ERα) using Molecular Operating Environment 2019.0101 software. The MTT assay results showed that titled compound 7 exhibited better anticancer activity against MCF7 cells (IC50: 4.25 μM) than standard drug, 4-hydroxytamoxifen (IC50: 8.22 μM). Results of molecular docking studies were found in good agreement with the results of anticancer evaluation, as the binding score of titled compound 7 (-16.9872 kcal/mol) was lower as compared to 4-hydroxytamoxifen (-15.1112 kcal/mol). The new cationic interaction of titled compound 7 with Trp383 and hydrogen bonding interaction with Phe404 in active site of ERα made its anticancer activity better than 4-hydroxytamoxifen. Thus, 4-{3-[2-(2-morpholin-4-yl-ethoxy)phenyl]-5-phenyl-pyrazol- 1-yl}benzenesulfonamide (7) was emerged as a potent anti-breast cancer agent.

A 3D model of Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) (Accession Number: Q543f6) is generated based on crystal structure of P. falciparum PFPK5-indirubin-5-sulphonate ligand complex (PDB ID: 1V0O) at 2.30 Å resolution was used as template. Protein-ligand interaction studies were performed with flavonoids to explore structural features and binding mechanism of flavonoids as CDK5 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 5) inhibitors. The modelled structure was selected on the basis of least modeler objective function. The model was validated by PROCHECK. The predicted 3D model is reliable with 93.0% of amino acid residues in core region of the Ramachandran plot. Molecular docking studies with flavonoids viz., Diosmetin, Eriodictyol, Fortuneletin, Apigenin, Ayanin, Baicalein, Chrysoeriol and Chrysosplenol-D with modelled protein indicate that Diosmetin is the best inhibitor containing docking score of -8.23 kcal/mol. Cys83, Lys89, Asp84. The compound Diosmetin shows interactions with Cys83, Lys89, and Asp84.
