Abstract

A series of aryloxy alkyl diketones I1 was synthesized and screened in vitro for antiviral activity. The effect of various substituents on the phenyl ring, as well as the length of the alkyl bridge, was examined to establish the requirements for optimum activity. One of the most active members of the series, 4-[6-(2-chloro-4-methoxy) phenoxy] hexyl-3, 5-heptanedione (56), exhibited a high level of activity against both DNA and RNA viruses in both the tissue ...
