Nk. Satti et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTILEISHMANIAL ACTIVITY OF SOME PYRIDO[1,2-A]PYRIMIDINES AND PHENANTHROLINES, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 32(9), 1993, pp. 978-980
Synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation for antileishmanial activ
ity of a series of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines, phenanthrolines are repor
ted. Amongst pyrido-pyrimidines, compounds 6,7 & 9 have been found to
possess promising activity. However, all the tested phenanthroline der
ivatives exhibit moderate to good anti-leishmania activity.
