A series of novel 3-aryl-1-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carbohydrazide hydrazone derivatives were synthesized and the effects of all the compounds on A549 cell growth were investigated. The results showed that all compounds had inhibitory effects on the growth of A549 lung cancer cells and compound (E)-1-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-N'-(1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl) ethylidene)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carbohydrazide (3e) possessed the highest growth inhibitory effect and induced apoptosis of A549 lung cancer cells.
