A functional and environmentally green procedure for the design of novel pyridine - and - derivatives through two pathways is presented. The first pathway is via a one-pot, four-component reaction of -formylphenyl-4-toluenesulfonate (), ethyl cyanoacetate (), acetophenone derivatives or acetyl derivatives -, and ammonium acetate () under microwave irradiation in ethanol. The advantages of this method are an excellent yield (82%-94%), pure products, a short reaction time (2-7 min), and low-cost processing.

The latter is attributed to their differentiation potentiality to pancreatic β-cells, angiogenesis, and immune-modulatory capabilities by releasing various paracrine factors. Interestingly, antioxidant co-administration increased the MSCs' hypoglycemic and regenerative activities.
