AbstractIn this study, we report on antiproliferative benzyloxy dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs) produced by the Biginelli reaction of benzyloxy benzaldehyde, urea, and diverse 1,3‐diones. The reaction was catalyzed by lanthanum triflate and completed within 1–1.5 h, with 74–97% yield. The antiproliferative assay was carried out for all synthesized dihydropyrimidinones against six human solid tumor cell lines. Six compounds showed good antiproliferative activity with GI50 values below 5 μM. Among all the synthesized compounds, the most potent derivative showed good antiproliferative activity against all cell lines with GI50 values in the range of 1.1–3.1 μM. These DHPMs comply with druglikeness. Furthermore, ADMET prediction and the effect of P‐glycoprotein on the antiproliferative activity were also studied. Overall, our method allows eco‐friendly access to benzyloxy DHPMs as potential anticancer drugs.
