“…Such properties include calcium channel blocking, anti-mycobacterial, antioxidant, anti-dyslipidemic, Alzheimer's disease, and antidiabetic activities (Kumar et al, 2010;Sirisha et al, 2011;Niaz et al, 2015;Schaller et al, 2018;Malek et al, 2019). Because of the growing reputation of dihydropyridines in the pharmaceutical field, numerous MCRs have been designed to synthesise 1,4-dihydropyridine scaffolds by utilising various heterogeneous catalysts (da Costa Cabrera et al, 2019;Rajesh et al, 2013;Mahinpour et al, 2018;Heydari et al, 2016;Bhaskaruni et al, 2017;Balaboina et al, 2019). Thus, the new MCRs with green protocols have drawn considerable interest, mainly in organic synthesis, drug development, and material science areas with green approaches using effective recyclable heterogeneous catalysts, sustainable procedures with remarkable atom, and carbon efficiency as added benefits.…”
