Two new Zn(II) and Cd(II) MOFs have been synthesized. These MOFs have been applied as heterogeneous catalysts for the green synthesis of a variety of dihydropyrimidinone derivatives through the Biginelli reaction and the desired products were obtained in high yields with short reaction time under mild solvent- free conditions. Moreover, the MOF catalysts may be readily recovered after the reaction and reused for many cycles.

3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1)-ones (DHPMs) and 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs), prepared by applying the Biginelli and Hantzsch reaction protocols, respectively, are well-documented nitrogen-containing heterocycles with intriguing pharmacological properties. The aqueous solution of biogenic carboxylic acids renewably produced from biomass catalytic or enzymatic processes can be used as a sustainable catalyst and green reaction media for synthesizing DHPs and DHPMs. This work evaluates the efficacy of various biogenic acids in their aqueous solutions as catalysts for synthesizing DHPs and DHPMs from substituted benzaldehydes.

Article Synopsis
  • - A series of dihydropyrimidine compounds were created as inhibitors of tyrosine kinases through a one-pot Biginelli reaction, yielding a variety of 1,4-DHPM hybrids by alkylating with different chloroacetylamine derivatives.
  • - These synthesized compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit cancer cell growth in different cell lines (HCT-116, PC-3, MCF-7) and showed that compounds 8h and 8i were the most effective, with low concentrations needed to inhibit cancer cells while being more selective towards normal cells.
  • - Further analysis revealed that compound 8h was particularly potent in inhibiting key kinases (EGFR and Trk

The paper describes the construction of a new series of pyrimidinone-linked thiazole derivatives through bromination of the initial Biginelli reaction product followed by the Hantzsch thiazole synthesis route. Various analytical techniques, including FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, and LCMS analysis, were employed to confirm the formation of the products. The synthesized compounds were primarily evaluated for their antibacterial activity, with a specific focus on their IC values.

The aim of the presented research was to explore anticancer potential of eleven newly synthesized tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives. The compounds were synthesized via Biginelli multicomponent one-pot reaction using different derivatives of vanillin, ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate and (N-methyl)urea. The cytotoxic effects of the compounds were examined on three human malignant cell lines (HeLa, K562, and MCF7), and normal lung fibroblasts MRC-5.
