title: Synthesis and antioxidant evaluation of some new pyrazolopyridine derivatives.
abstract: 4,6-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-amine (1) was used as a key intermediate for the synthesis of imidazolopyrazole derivatives 7-11 upon interaction with 3-(2-bromoacetyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (2), 2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-chloro-3-oxobutanenitrile (3), 2,3-dibromonaphthalene-1,4-dione (4), naphtha[2,3-b]oxirene-2,7-dione (5), 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxyhexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (6), respectively. Acetylation of 11 afforded the bis-acetyl 12. Also, the imidazolopyrimidine 15 was prepared via treatment of 1 with sodium 3,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydronaphthalene-1-sulfonate (13) in DMF followed by cyclization of the bis-pyrazolopyrimidine 14 with glacial acetic acid. On the other hand, compound 1 was reacted with (E)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(piperidin-1-yl)pent-1-en-3-one hydrochloride (16), 2-hydroxy-3-((piperidin-1-yl)-methyl)-naphthalene-1,4-dione (17), 2-styryl-2H-indene-1,3-dione (18), enaminone 22, chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde 27a, chloroquinoline-(6-methyl)-3-carbaldehyde 27b and 5-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (28) to afford pyrazolo[3,4-a]pyrimidines 19-21, 23, 29a, 29b and 30, respectively. Also, the pyrazolopyrimidinone 33 was obtained via treatment of 1 with 1-cyanoacetyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazole (31) followed by cyclization of the formed intermediate 32 with glacial acetic acid. Finally, treatment of 1 with o-terephthalaldehyde in glacial acetic acid afforded diazepine 34. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antioxidant properties in which some of them exhibited promising activities. Compounds 1, 14, 15, 23, 26, 29a, 30 and 32 have the ability to protect DNA from the damage induced by bleomycin.
