    A small library of highly functionalized phenylaminopyrazoles, bearing different substituents at position 1, 3 and 4 of the pyrazole ring, was prepared by the one pot condensation of active methylene reagents, phenylisothiocyanate and substituted hydrazine (namely, methyl- and benzyl-hydrazine). The identified reaction conditions proved to be versatile and efficient. Fur-thermore, the evaluation of alternative stepwise protocols affected the chemo- and re-gio-selectivity outcome of the one-pot procedure. The chemical identity of two N-methyl pyrazole isomers, selected as prototypes of the whole series, was unambiguously identified by means of NMR and mass spectrometry studies. Additionally, semiempirical calculations provided a structural rationale for the different chromatographic behaviour of the two isomers. The prepared tetra-substituted phenylaminopyrazoles were tested in cell-based assays on a panel of cancer and normal cell lines. The tested compounds did not show any cytotoxic effect on the selected cell lines, thus supporting their pharmaceutical potentials

    Combined neoplasms of the lung are defined by the WHO classification as an admixture of a small or large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and a non-neuroendocrine component. However, rare cases of carcinoids combined with a non-neuroendocrine component have been described. These tumor types are not included as a specific entity in the WHO classification of pulmonary neoplasms and their pathogenesis is still unknown. We describe the clinico-pathologic and molecular features of a mixed (combined) lung neoplasm composed of adenocarcinoma and atypical carcinoid. The NGS analysis of the two different tumor components shows a similar molecular profile suggesting their monoclonal origin from a transformed stem/progenitor tumor cell which acquires a divergent differentiation during its development and progression. We also suggest the use of the recently proposed term of mixed neuroendocrine/non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) to define mixed (combined) neoplasms of the lung, because it seems to better cover the wide spectrum of different possible combinations of neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine components
