[摘要]:A series of dihydropyrimidine derivatives were synthesized by utilizing Biginelli reaction and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity against MCF-7 human breast cancer (HBC) cell line using sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H(37)Rv using Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA). Compounds 13p, 13t were exhibited 70.6% and 63.7% of HBC cell growth inhibition at 10 mu M concentration. Interestingly compound 13p was also found to be the most potent in the series against MTB H(37)Rv with MIC value of 0.125 mu g/mL. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
