Dihydropyrimidinones: efficient one-pot green synthesis using Montmorillonite-KSF and evaluation of their cytotoxic activity.

ABSTRACT: A simple, efficient, cost-effective, recyclable and green approach has been developed for the synthesis of new dihydropyrimidinone analogs via the Biginelli reaction. The methodology involves a multicomponent reaction catalyzed by "HPA-Montmorillonite-KSF" as a reusable and heterogeneous catalyst. This method gives an efficient and much improved modification of the original Biginelli reaction, in terms of yield and short reaction times under solvent free conditions. All the derivatives were subjected to cytotoxicity screening against a panel of four different human cancer cell lines viz. colon (Colo-205), prostate (PC-3), leukemia (THP-1) and lung (A549) to check their effect on percentage growth.
