Abstract:
Neurodegenerative Diseases (NDs) are disorders that cause nerve cells to gradually deteriorate or die. Progressive malfunction and neuronal loss from certain brain areas are hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. In various parts of the brain, this results in dementia, cognitive impairment, and a slowdown in motor function. Because pyrazole scaffolds play a significant role in the brain by enhancing cognitive processes, they have drawn a lot of interest for the treatment of neurodegeneration. Pyrazole-containing substances have recently been effectively produced as strong inhibitors of many biological targets implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders. In the present review, initially, we provide an overview of the chemistry of pyrazoles, methods for creating pyrazole derivatives, and the pharmaceutical properties of pyrazole derivatives. We show that, thanks to recent developments in synthetic medicinal chemistry, this class of molecules may be easily synthesized and targeted for novel drug discovery. In particular, the present review focuses on the neuroprotective properties of pyrazole scaffolds, given pyrazoles' importance in medicinal chemistry as neuroprotective agents. We have made an effort to examine several facets of the therapeutic potential of pyrazole analogues as anti-neurodegenerative agents in this review. The purpose of this study is to help medicinal chemists and neuroscientists who are investigating and using pyrazoles in neurodegenerative research projects, as well as to expedite future research initiatives in neurodegenerative disease. Future studies and fresh ideas in the search for logical designs to create more promising pyrazoles are anticipated to benefit from this review.
