Abstract
We described the first synthesis of fatty acid 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones (DHPM-fatty acids) using the Biginelli multicomponent reaction. Antiproliferative activity on two glioma cell lines (C6 rat and U-138-MG human) was also reported. The novel DHPM-fatty acids reduced glioma cell viability relative to temozolomide. Hybrid oxo-monastrol-palmitic acid was the most potent, reducing U-138-MG human cell viability by ca. 50% at 10 μM. In addition, the DHPM-fatty acids showed a large safety range to neural cells, represented by the organotypic hippocampal culture. These results suggest that the increased lipophilicity of DHPM-fatty acids offer a promising approach to overcoming resistance to chemotherapy and may play an important role in the development of new antitumor drugs.Entities:
