RT Journal Article T1 Design and Synthesis of Multi-Functional Ligands through Hantzsch Reaction: Targeting Ca2+ Channels, Activating Nrf2 and Possessing Cathepsin S Inhibitory, and Antioxidant Properties A1 Pachón Angona, Irene A1 Bernard, Paul J. A1 Simakov, Alexey A1 Maj, Maciej A1 Jozwiak, Krzysztof A1 Novotna, Anna A1 Lemke, Carina A1 Gütschow, Michael A1 Martin, Helene A1 Oset Gasque, María Jesús A1 Contelles, José Marco A1 Ismaili, Lhassane AB This work relates to the design and synthesis of a series of novel multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs), i.e., compounds 4a–l, via a convenient one-pot three-component Hantzsch reaction. This approach targeted calcium channel antagonism, antioxidant capacity, cathepsin S inhibition, and interference with Nrf2 transcriptional activation. Of these MTDLs, 4i emerged as a promising compound, demonstrating robust antioxidant activity, the ability to activate Nrf2-ARE pathways, as well as calcium channel blockade and cathepsin S inhibition. Dihydropyridine 4i represents the first example of an MTDL that combines these biological activities.
