This method provides an efficient route for the synthesis of a new class of polycyclic compounds have five stereo centers. The obtained polycyclic compounds were evaluated for the antimicrobial and anticancer activities against fifteen microorganism and three cell lines. The compound 3r have the best activity value against the cells.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChalconesPolycyclic compoundsAntimicrobialArticle2021696319625
