Synthesis, Anti-cancer Evaluation And In Silico Studies Of 1,4-Dihydropyridines.

Abstract

An efficient 1,4-dihydropyridine synthesis under mild conditions has been developed. Numerous substrates were tested, with yields of 1,4-dihydropridines ranging from good to excellent and a wide range of functional group tolerance. A549, HT-29, and HepG2 cancer cells were used to investigate the anticancer efficacy of each of the produced compounds. Additionally, in-silico docking studies were conducted to understand the structure-based features of the anticancer mechanism with the cancer medication target of Adenosine 2A (A2A) receptor as well as the molecular level interactions of the compounds.
