The one-pot synthesis of a series of pyrazoline derivatives containing the bioactive thiazole ring has been performed through a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of N-thiocarbamoylpyrazoline and different hydrazonoyl halides or α-haloketones in the presence of DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2] octane) as an eco-friendly catalyst using the solvent-drop grinding method. The structure of the synthesized compounds was elucidated using elemental and spectroscopic analyses (IR, NMR, and Mass). The activity of these compounds against human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) was tested and the results showed that the pyrazoline 11f, which has a fluorine substituent, is the most active. The antimicrobial activities of the newly synthesized compounds were determined against two fungi and four bacterial strains, and the results indicated that some of the newly synthesized pyrazolines are more potent than the standard drugs against test organisms.

Pyridazine and thiazole derivatives have various biological activities such as antimicrobial, analgesic, anticancer, anticonvulsant, antitubercular and other anticipated biological properties. Chitosan can be used as heterogeneous phase transfer basic biocatalyst in heterocyclic syntheses. Novel 1-thiazolyl-pyridazinedione derivatives were prepared via multicomponent synthesis under microwave irradiation as ecofriendly energy source and using the eco-friendly naturally occurring chitosan basic catalyst with high/efficient yields and short reaction time. All the prepared compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods, and their in vitro biological activities were investigated. The obtained results were compared with those of standard antibacterial/antifungal agents. DFT calculations and molecular docking studies were used to investigate the electronic properties and molecular interactions with specific microbial receptors.
