Structure Activity Relationship, Drug Likeness and Evaluation of Antioxidant Activity of Some Mannich Bases of Dihydropyrimidinones

摘要

A series of 21 O- and N-Mannich bases of 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones (2a-j and 3a-k) were synthesized by using microwave irradiation technique by multi-component reaction in two steps. All the compounds were evaluated for their free radical scavenging activity by four methods. Structure activity relationship studies revealed that the compounds 2h, 2g, 3h and 3g exhibited profound antioxidant properties compared to standard ascorbic acid. Among O- and N-Mannich bases, N-Mannich bases were found to be more potent in scavenging free radicals. The correlation between structure and activities of these compounds with concern to drug likeliness profile and other physico-chemical parameters are portrayed and verified experimentally.
