Abstract

Abstract An analogous library of 2-substituted quinoline compounds was synthesized with the aim to identify a potential drug candidate to treat visceral leishmaniasis. These molecules were tested for their in vitro and in vivo biological activity against Leishmania donovani. Metabolic stability of these compounds was also improved through the introduction of halogen substituents. Compound (26g), found to be the most active; ...
