Abstract: We present new $L^{i}nfty$ a priori estimates for weak solutions of a wide class of subcritical elliptic equations in bounded domains. No hypotheses on the sign of the solutions, neither of the non-linearities are required. This method is based in combining elliptic regularity with Gagliardo-Nirenberg or Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg interpolation inequalities. Let us consider a semilinear boundary value problem $-Deltau=f(x,u),$ in $Omega,$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^N$, with $N>2,$ is a bounded smooth domain, and $f$ is a subcritical Carath'eodory non-linearity. We provide $L^{i}nfty$ a priori estimates for weak solutions, in terms of their $L^{2^{\ast }}$-norm, where $2^{\ast }=frac2NN-2$ is the critical Sobolev exponent. By a subcritical non-linearity we mean, for instance, $|f(x,s)|le|x{|}^{-mu},ildef(s),$ where $muin(0,2),$ and $ildef(s)/|s{|}^{2_{mu}^{\ast }-1}o0$ as $|s|oinfty$, here $2_{mu}^{\ast }:=frac2(N-mu)N-2$ is the critical Sobolev-Hardy exponent. Our non-linearities includes non-power non-linearities. In particular we prove that when $$ with $muin[1,2),$ then, for any $varepsilon>0$ there exists a constant $C_{v}arepsilon>0$ such that for any solution $uin{H}_0^1(Omega)$, the following holds ${\displaystyle }$ Big[log�ig(e+|u|_{infty}�ig)Big]^�etale C _varepsilon , Big(1+|u|_{2^*}Big)^{, (2^*_{mu}-2)(1+varepsilon)}, . ${\displaystyle }$
