NHC-catalyzed nucleophilic dearomatization of alkyl pyridiniums has been achieved to generate 1,4-dihydropyridines with high enantioselectivity. This is a rare example of catalytic, asymmetric addition of a nucleophile to the activated pyridinium that prefers C-4 functionalization leading to the 1,4-dihydropyridine with high selectivity.

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-dihydrop...

A Rh-catalyzed C-H bond activation/alkenylation/electrocyclization cascade reaction provides diverse 1,2-dihydropyridines from simple and readily available precursors. The reaction can be carried out at low (<1%) Rh-catalyst loadings, and the use of the robust, air-stable Rh precatalyst, [RhCl(cod)]2, enables the cascade reaction to be easily performed on the benchtop. The 1,2-dihydropyridine p...

Organoammonium salts composed of a Brønsted acid and an anilinothiourea promoted the Michael addition of ß-keto esters and α,ß-unsaturated aldehydes in the presence of primary amines to give functionalized 1,4-dihydropyridines enantioselectively. With the use of the different Brønsted acids such as DFA and HBF(4) with the same bifunctional thiourea, both enantiomers of 4-substituted 1,4-dihydro...

Quantum chemical (MNDo)caleulations have beenused toelucidate the molecular properties and structure - activity relationships of dihydropyridine (DHP) type calcium antagonists. There is a good corielation between the net atomic charges on various atoms of the 4 - phenyl ring of dihydropyridines and pharmacological activity. .Also, activity decreases with increasing free rotation of the phen...

Leishmaniasis and Chagas disease are neglected parasitic diseases endemic in developing countries; efforts to find new therapies remain a priority. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are drugs in clinical use for hypertension and other heart pathologies. Based on previous reports about the antileishmanial activity of dihydropyridine-CCBs, this work aimed to investigate whether the in vitro anti-Le...

INTRODUCTION We report the synthesis of novel 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives containing biphenyl-2'-tetrazole moieties. We hypothesized that merging the key structural elements present in an AT1 receptor antagonist with key structural elements in 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers would yield novel analogs with potential dual activity for both receptors. This strategy led to the desi...

zrp2o7 nanoparticles (nps) as an efficient catalyst have been used for the preparation of 1,6-diamino-2- oxo-4-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile derivatives via one-pot coupling of hyrazine hydrate, ethyl cyanoacetate, malononitrile and aromatic aldehydes under reflux conditions in ethanol. using this method we obtained low reaction times, easy isolation of the targeted molecules, e...
