Modern organic synthesis is primarily focused on developing environmentally benign synthetic protocols by employing green chemistry principles. Accordingly, in our recent research work, we herein report the use of modified supramolecular host cyclodextrin as an effective solid based green catalyst for accessing structurally diverse and medicinally relevant pyrimidone architectures. The catalyst and the synthesized compounds 4 (a-r) were characterized using FT-IR, NMR and GC-mass spectroscopy. Major highlights of the reported work include the economical atom process, remarkably gentler reaction conditions, ease of operation, high isolated yields, and excellent catalyst turnover numbers. The molecular docking studies suggest that the compound 4n has hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and π-pair interactions with the active site of the CXT M 15 receptor. Further, the in-vitro antibacterial study as well as the screening of anti-biofilm activity resulted in a BIC value of 76.79 ± 0.785% at a concentration of 10 µg/mL and morphological alterations induced by DHPMs against the ESBL E. coli strain aggregated with a good result.
