A new series of polysubstituted 1‐aryl‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydropyridine‐3‐carbonitriles and pyrazolo[3,4‐ b ]pyridine‐5‐carbonitriles and pyrido[2,3‐ d ]pyrimidine‐6‐carbonitriles have been synthesized and tested for their antifibrotic activity. Among the tested compounds, compounds IIc and IVb exhibited higher antifibrotic activity than the standard pirfenidone PD with a reduction of the hydroxyproline level to 50 and 140 μmol/lung, respectively. However, bicyclic pyridone VIIIb displayed a high mortality rate. Detailed syntheses, spectroscopic and biological data are reported.
