An efficient and expeditious catalyst-free procedure was developed for the one- pot synthesis of 1, 4-dihydropyridine derivatives via the three-component reaction of various aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, and ammonium acetate in PEG-400. The reaction was carried out at 110°С and the products were obtained in good to high yields.

Various 1and 2-substituted and 1,2-fused 1,4-dihydropyridine-5-phosphonate derivatives were designed and synthesized as analogues of 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate, and their antihypertensive activities were examined. Several compounds proved to be equal or superior to nifedipine in lowering blood pressure in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats. Among these compounds, 1-subs...

Recent studies showed that 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbamoyl derivatives with lipophilic groups have significant antitubercular activity. In this study, we have synthesized new derivatives of 1,4-dihydropyridines bearing carbmethoxy and carbethoxy group at C-3 and C-5 of the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring. In addition, 1H-pyrazole ring is substituted at C-4 position. These analogues were synthesize...

The dihydropyridine Ca2+ antagonist drugs used in the therapy of cardiovacular disorders inhibit L-type Ca2+ channels by binding to a single high affinity site. Photoaffinity labeling and analysis of mutant Ca2+ channels implicate the IIIS6 and IVS6 segments in high affinity binding. The amino acid residues that are required for high affinity binding of dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel antagonists ...

Objective(s) Calcium-channel blockers have an important role in the treatment of several cardiovascular disorders. Derivatives of 1, 4-dihydropyridine are one of the most potent calcium antagonists. In this study four novel ', 4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers were synthesized and their hypotensive properties were investigated in male rats. Materials and Methods Four 1, 4-dihydropyr...
