title: Synthesis of marine alkaloid: 8,9-dihydrocoscinamide B and its analogues as Novel class of antileishmanial agents.
abstract: A series of marine alkaloid 8,9-dihydrocoscinamide B, its analogues and indolylglyoxylamide derivatives have been synthesized and screened for their in vitro antileishmanial activity profile in promastigote and amastigote models. Compounds 7 and 10 have shown 99-100% inhibition against promastigotes and 97-98% inhibition against amastigotes at a concentration of 10 microg/ml.
