A series of 15 new hybrid perillyl‐4H‐pyrans compounds was straightforwardly synthesized by a strategy combining the multicomponent reaction and the copper‐catalyzed alkyne‐azide cycloaddition (CuAAC). The 2‐amino‐4H‐pyrans‐3‐carbonitrile containing the alkyne moiety was prepared via multicomponent reaction between 1,3‐dicarbonyl, a propargyloxy aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile or ethyl α‐cyanoacetate. The alkyne derivative was sequentially reacted with the perillyl azide component through the copper‐catalyzed [3+2] Huisgen cycloaddition reaction. The antiproliferative activity of hybrid compounds were evaluated against the human hepatoma HepG2/C3A cell line.

Quinazoline and/or chalcones derivatives are important targets in several areas of chemical sciences, mainly, in
the medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical research. The purpose of this review is to systematize the information available
in the literature, including patents, regarding the benefits exerted by the combination of these two pharmacophores into
single molecules. These hybrid compounds can exhibit different biological activities, causing a synergistic or a new effect,
compared to the individuals. The variability of biological activities includes anticancer, anti-Alzheimer, antiviral and
antimicrobial activities, among others. Additionally, synthetic methodologies to prepare the different molecular
architectures were discussed based on their similarities. The increasing number of publications indicates the importance of
molecular hybridization on the field of drug discovery.
Designed Chalcone-Dihydropyrimidinone hybrid compounds were synthesized expeditiously. The hybridization was performed through the Copper-catalyzed Alkyne-Azide Cycloaddition (CuAAC) from the propargyloxy chalcones and azido-dihydropyrimidinones. The hybrid products were prepared in five steps with a 30–48% overall yield. Most of the compounds showed selective cytotoxicity and lower IC50 values (<10 µM) against MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) cancer. Cytotoxicity was also observed against OVCAR-3 (ovary, adenocarcinoma), NCI/ADR-RES (ovary, multidrug-resistant adenocarcinoma), and U-251 (brain, glioblastoma) cell lines. The potency of the most active hybrids 9d, 9g, and 9h was greater than the individual parental compounds, suggesting the effectiveness of molecular hybridization on the cytotoxicity. Compounds 9d, 9g, and especially 9h showed high selectivity for breast cancer cells (MCF-7) regarding human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Molecular docking calculations for the 9d, 9g, and 9h hybrids in the active site of estrogen supported the hypothesis that the compounds act as ER-α antagonists, disrupting the cell proliferation process of MCF-7, corroborating the potency and selectivity observed for this tumoral cell line.
