A convenient and efficient new method has been established for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidines by inexpensive and non-toxic N-acetyl glycine (NAG) catalysed reaction of aromatic aldehydes with ethyl acetoacetate and urea/thiourea. This method is applicable for various substituted aldehydes as well as urea and thiourea. It has also been used to synthesize bicyclic oxygen-bridged pyrimidine derivatives (4d, 4j). The biological assay revealed that the majority of compounds synthesized displayed modest inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase at low micro-molar concentrations. Molecular docking studies were also performed on the most active compound, 4f (with IC50 value 112.21±0.97 μM), to show the enzyme - inhibitor interactions.
通过廉价且无毒的N-乙酰甘氨酸(NAG)催化芳香醛与乙酰乙酸乙酯和尿素/硫脲的反应,建立了一种便捷高效的二氢嘧啶合成新方法。该方法适用于各种取代醛以及尿素和硫脲。它还被用于合成双环氧桥嘧啶衍生物(4d,4j)。生物活性测定表明,所合成的大多数化合物在低微摩尔浓度下对α-葡萄糖苷酶表现出适度的抑制活性。还对活性最高的化合物4f(IC50值为112.21±0.97μM)进行了分子对接研究,以展示酶与抑制剂的相互作用。
