DHPMlike
DHPMlike is a term used to describe compounds that share structural or functional similarities with DHPMs, which stands for dihydropyrimidinones. Dihydropyrimidinones are a class of heterocyclic organic compounds that have garnered significant interest in medicinal chemistry due to their diverse biological activities. These activities include calcium channel blocking, antihypertensive, antiviral, and anticancer properties, making DHPM derivatives promising candidates for drug development.
The "like" in DHPMlike signifies a resemblance to this core dihydropyrimidinone structure or to its known pharmacological
Investigating DHPMlike compounds is an ongoing area of research. Scientists aim to synthesize and screen new
