Bioactive 2-pyridone-containing heterocycle syntheses using multicomponent reactions

2-Pyridone-containing heterocycles are considered privileged scaffolds in drug discovery due to their behavior as hydrogen bond donors and/or acceptors and nonpeptidic mimics, and remarkable physicochemical properties such as metabolic stability, solubility in water, and lipophilicity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) for the synthesis of 2-pyridone-containing heterocycles. In particular, it covers the articles published from 1999 to date related to anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, α-glucosidase inhibitor, and cardiotonic activities of 2-pyridone-containing heterocycles obtained exclusively by an MCR. The discussion focuses on bioactivity data, synthetic approaches, plausible reaction mechanisms, and molecular docking simulations to facilitate comparison and underscore the applications of the 2-pyridone motif in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. We also present our conclusions and outlook for the future.

Molecular docking and optical sensor studies based on 2,4-diamino pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles for detection of Hg2

An organic chemical sensor based on pyrimidine was successfully produced through the green reaction between aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile, and guanidine carbonate using SBA-Pr-SO₃H. This fluorescence intensity of chemosensor (2,4-diamino-6-(phenyl)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile) decreases by the addition of Hg²⁺ and its detection limit is about 14.89 × 10^-5 M, in fact, through the green synthesis, the ligand was yielded to detect Hg²⁺ and the importance of ligand was considered in docking studies. The molecular docking of 2,4-diamino-6-(phenyl)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile compound has been done with the protein selective estrogen receptor 5ACC complexed with (Azd9496), Human Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Pdb; 2xp2 complex with crizotinib (PF-02341066) and human wee1 kinase Pdb; 5vc3 complexed with bosutinib. The ligands 2,4-diamino-6-(phenyl)pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile generate very good docking results with the protein Pdb; 2xp2, which is responsible for effective tumor growth inhibition.
