Abstract
In this paper, the synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of the novel tetrahydropyrimidines-THPMs are described. THPMs are well-known for wide pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, etc. This research includes obtained results of in vitro antimicrobial, anticancer, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of the eleven novel THPMs. An antibiotic assessment was done against five bacteria (two Gram-positive and three Gram-negative) and five fungi by determining the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), using the broth tube dilution method. The most active antibacterial compounds were 4a, 4b, and 4d, while the best antifungal activity was shown by 4e, 4f, and 4k. The lowest MIC value (0.20 mg/mL) was measured for 4e, 4f, and 4k against the Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Moreover, examining the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity revealed the compound 4g as the one with the best activity. The cytotoxic activity was performed on the tumor cell lines (HeLa, K562, and MDA-MB-231) and normal cells (MRC-5). The best antitumor activity was shown by compounds 4b and 4k against HeLa cell lines. The influence on cell cycle and mechanism of action of the most active compounds were examined too. Compound 4b had good antibacterial and anticancer activities, while 4k showed promising antifungal and anticancer activities.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gp41 and its conserved hydrophobic groove on the N-terminal heptad repeat region are attractive targets in the design of HIV-1 entry inhibitors. Linearly extended molecules have shown potent anti-HIV-1 activity for their effective interactions with the gp41 binding pocket. Rhodanine ring attached to substituted pyrrole or furan rings has been proved a preferred moiety to be inserted inside the molecular structure of the gp41 inhibitors. OBJECTIVES Based on the previous findings we are going to describe some rhodanine derivatives in which a substituted imidazole ring is introduced in place of the pyrrole or furan rings. The compounds' flexibility is increased by inserting methylene groups inside the main scaffold. METHODS Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations approaches were exploited to investigate the chemical interactions and the stability of the designed ligands-gp41 complex. All compounds were synthesized and their chemical structures were elucidated by 1HNMR, 13CNMR, FTIR and Mass spectroscopy. Biological activities of the compounds against HIV-1 and HIV-2 and their cellular toxicities against the T-lymphocyte (MT-4) cell line were determined. RESULTS All the designed compounds showed proper and stable chemical interactions with gp41 according to the in silico studies. The results of the biological tests proved none of the compounds active against HIV-1 replication in cell cultures. CONCLUSION Since all the studied compounds were potently toxic for the host cell; it was therefore not possible to assess their anti-HIV activities.

Abstract
A series of new 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine (THPM) derivatives were designed and synthesized within a one-pot three component Biginelli reaction. The structures of compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1HNMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. All synthesized derivatives were screened for their cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and anti-HIV activities. Due to significant cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects of 1,2,3,4-THPM scaffold, in this study, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of synthesized derivatives were evaluated on two cell lines and four bacterial strains. Compounds 4e and 4k showed highest cytotoxic activity against HeLa and MCF-7 cell lines. In addition, 4c and 4d were most active against MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines, respectively. Among the compounds, 4e revealed high antimicrobial activity against four strains. According to the results, 4e possessing m-bromophenyl group at C-4 position of THPM exhibited the highest cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects. Also, all the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-HIV-1 assay. Compounds 4l and 4a indicated remarkable anti-HIV-1 activity. It is concluded from cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and anti-HIV-1 activities that the 1,2,3,4-tertahydropyrimidines may serve as hit compounds for development of new anticancer small-molecules.
