RESUMEN
Efficient one-pot five-component synthetic protocols for highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines (THPs) and their biological evaluation have been illustrated. Synthesis of novel functionalized tetrahydropyridines containing differential substitutions at 2,6-positions has been achieved via a modified MCR. Cytotoxic studies of 23 synthesized compounds have been carried out against three different cell lines, namely A-549, HeLa and HepG2, wherein some compounds have displayed appreciable cytotoxicity. Further, investigation of enzyme inhibition by the synthesized THPs has been carried out against four members of M1 family aminopeptidases. Several compounds have selectively inhibited only one member of this enzyme family i.e., human puromycin sensitive aminopeptidase (hPSA). Among the compounds; 4b, 9b, 9e and 10a demonstrated best inhibition against hPSA.

A series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine Mannich bases were designed, synthesized in two phases. Mannich bases were obtained by one pot three component condensation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine with secondary amine or piperazine and excess of formaldehyde solution in methanol. The synthesized Mannich bases were screened for in vitro growth inhibition against a panel of 3 different human cancer cell lines. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited antiproliferative activity with GI50 values ranging from 0.01 to 79.4 µM. Compounds 5e, 6b and 7k were found to be effective inhibitors of growth of all cell lines, with GI50 values similar to that of standard drug. The structure and activity relationship has been disclosed.
