摘要:
Two types of regioisomeric chromene‐based chalcones namely, 1‐(6‐methoxy‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)‐3‐phenylpropen‐1‐ones and 3‐(6‐methoxy‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)‐1‐phenylpropen‐1‐ones were prepared and investigated for their antileishmanial activity against promastigotes form of Leishmania major. The obtained results from in vitro biological assays indicated that chloro‐substituted 1‐(6‐methoxy‐2H‐chromen‐3‐yl)‐3‐phenylpropen‐1‐ones exhibited excellent activity against Leishmania major at non‐cytotoxic concentrations.
