Sp. Bhatti et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTILEISHMANIAL ACTIVITY OF SOME CHROMON-8-YLALKANOIC ACIDS AND THEIR METHYL-ESTERS, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 37(6), 1998, pp. 553-557
Some new 2-(2-aryl-6-methylchromon-8-yl)alkanoic acids 7 and their met
hyl esters 6 have been synthesized from appropriate 8-alkanoylflavones
5 by 1,2-aryl migration of flavone ring using iodobenzene diacetate (
IBD). Some of the compounds have been assayed for their in vitro antil
eishmanial activity on Leishmania donovam strain UR-6. Compound 7c has
been found to possess promising activity.
