One-Pot Multicomponent Synthesis and Bioevaluation of Tetrahydroquinoline Derivatives as Potential Antioxidants, α-Amylase Enzyme Inhibitors, Anti-Cancerous and Anti-Inflammatory Agents.

ABSTRACT: Mankind has always suffered from multiple diseases. Therefore, there has been a rigorous need in the field of medicinal chemistry for the design and discovery of new and potent molecular entities. In this work, thirteen tetrahydroquinoline derivatives were synthesized and evaluated biologically for their antioxidant, α-amylase enzyme inhibitory, anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory activities. SF8 showed the lowest IC50 of 29.19 ± 0.25 µg/mL by scavenging DPPH free radicals. SF5 showed significant antioxidant activity in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total reducing power (TRP) assays. SF5 and SF9 showed the maximum inhibition of α-amylase enzyme i.e., 97.47% and 89.93%, respectively, at 200 µg/mL concentration. Five compounds were shortlisted to determine their anti-proliferativ
