Introduction: A large number of natural products including several synthetic drugs possess
naphthoquinone chromophore. Various methods have been devised for their synthesis …

Naturally occurring naphthoquinones, usually in forms of botanical extracts, have been
implicated with human life since ancient time, far earlier than their isolation and identification …

Cancer encompasses a group of pathologies with common characteristics, high incidence,
and prevalence in all countries. Although there are treatments available for this disease …

The non-communicable disease, cancer, is one of the major causes of death across the
world and is forecast to increase by 75% to reach close to 25 million cases over the next two …

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world and although the different
clinical approaches have helped to increase survival rates, incidence is still high and so its …

One of the leading global causes of death is cancer; even though several treatment methods
have improved survival rates, the incidence and fatality rates remain high. Naphthoquinones …

The cytotoxicity of a series of aminonaphthoquinones resulting from the reaction of suitable
aminoacids with 1, 4-naphthoquinone was assayed against SF-295 (glioblastoma), MDAMB …

In the present study substituted 1, 2-naphthoquinones were synthesized, purified and
characterized by spectroscopic studies (UV, FT-IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and elemental …

Sixteen novel naphthoquinone aromatic amides were synthesized by a new route starting
from 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid in nine or ten steps with good to excellent yield. Amide …

Naphthoquinones are exceptional building blocks in organic synthesis and have been used
to synthesize several well‐known pharmaceutically active agents. Herein we report the …
