Two series of new pirfenidone derivatives, in which phenyl groups or benzyl groups are attached to the nitrogen atom of the pyridin-2(1<i>H</i>)-one moiety were synthesized and evaluated as anti-fibrosis agents. Among them, compound 5d, with a (<i>S</i>)-2-(dimethylamino) propanamido group in the R<sub>2</sub> position (series 1) exhibited 10 times the anti-fibrosis activity (IC<sub>50</sub>: 0.245 mM) of pirfenidone (IC<sub>50</sub>: 2.75 mM). Compound 9d (series 2) gave an IC<sub>50</sub> of 0 ...[more]
