title: Chemotherapy of leishmaniasis. Part V: Synthesis and in vitro bioevaluation of novel pyridinone derivatives.
abstract: Some novel 2-substituted pyridinone derivatives exemplified by 3 and 4 have been synthesized from 2-methyl-gamma-pyrone and screened towards in vitro antileishmanial activity profile. Some of the compounds such as 3a, 3b, 4i and 4j displayed good antileishmanial profile.
