Preparation of target compounds 7 was improved using one-pot five-component synthesis. Methyl 6-ethylsulfanyl-, 6-cyclopropylmethyl-sulfanyl- and 6-isobutylsulfanyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylates 7b, e, f have shown calcium channel blocking activity in in vitro models - SH-SY5Y cell lines (human neuroblastoma). %K 1 %K 4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate %K 6-thioxo-1 %K 4 %K 5 %K 6-tetra-hydropyridine %K one-pot five-component synthesis %K calcium channel blocking activity %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/q70g3v5367842842/?p=e2cc29d2bc374975a93f28996934d652&pi=3
