Leishmanicidal Activity of Aliphatic and Aromatic Lactones: Correlation Structure-Activity

Several aliphatic and aromatic lactones and two dimers were synthesized using the sequence: allylation - esterification - metathesis. These compounds were active in vitro against intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania panamensis. The structure-activity relationship showed the importance of the alip...
