title: Altering pyridinone N-substituents to optimise activity as potential prodrugs for Alzheimer's disease.
abstract: Selective design modifications of specifically substituted 3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinones show possibly advantageous ring freedom while maintaining metal-binding ability and antioxidant capacity, moving toward an efficient potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
