A library of 4,6-diaryl-1,4-dihydropyridines was synthesized using a CAN-catalyzed, Hantzsch-related three component reaction starting from ammonium acetate, β-dicarbonyl compounds and a variety of α,β-unsaturated ketones including chalcones, their vinylogs and heteroanalogues. These compounds lack the structural features needed for vascular activity and were found to prevent calcium overload and behave as neuroprotective agents. One of the compounds, bearing a 2-thienyl substituent at C-4, showed the highest neuroprotective activity and was also a moderate antioxidant, being a good lead compound for further studies in this area.

C-5-unsubstituted 1,4-dihydropyridines were obtained in good to excellent yields by proceeding through a simple, mild and efficient procedure utilizing cellulose sulfuric acid (CSA) as a catalyst. The reaction work-up is very simple and catalyst can be easily separated from reaction mixture and reused several times in subsequent reactions. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

C-5-unsubstituted-C-6-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridines were prepared by a CAN-catalyzed multicomponent reaction from chalcones, beta-dicarbonyl compounds, and ammonium acetate. These compounds were able to block Ca2+ entry after a depolarizing stimulus and showed an improved Ca(V)1.3/ Ca(V)1.2 selectivity in comparison with nifedipine. Furthermore, they were able to protect neuroblastoma cells against Ca2+ overload and oxidative stress models. Their selectivity ratio makes them highly interesting for the treatment of neurological disorders where Ca2+ dyshomeostasis and high levels of oxidative stress have been demonstrated. Furthermore, their low potency toward the cardiovascular channel subtype makes them safer by reducing their probable side effects, in comparison to classical 1,4-dihydropyridines. Some compounds afforded good protective profile in a postincubation model that simulates the real clinical situation of ictus patients, offering a therapeutic window of opportunity of great interest for patient recovery after a brain ischemic episode. Good activities were also found in acute ischemia/reperfusion models of oxygen and glucose deprivation.
