Abstract
This paper for the first time presents an efficient method for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (3,4-DHPMs) bearing aliphatic and cyclopropane-containing aldehyde residues, using europium(III) chloride hexahydrate as a catalyst in the Biginelli multicomponent reaction (MCR). A high permeability through the phospholipid bilayer and the potential for passive diffusion facilitating participation in intracellular interactions were determined. A preliminary evaluation of the antifungal properties of the obtained compounds against a range of fungal species was carried out using in silico
methods. Experiments on the effect of 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones on the growth of Yarrowia lipolytica yeast showed no acute toxicity of the tested compounds within the micromolar concentration range.
