Cancer cells are particularly vulnerable to treatments impairing redox homeostasis. Reactive
oxygen species (ROS) can indeed play an important role in the initiation and progression of …

Quinones constitute a structurally diverse class of phenolic compounds with a wide range of
pharmacologial properties, which are the basis for different applications in the broad field of …

From the structure of 3, 3-dimethyl-3H-benzofuro [3, 2-f][1]-benzopyran, a selective in vitro
inhibitor of mycobacterial growth, we have undertaken a structure–activity relationship …

In the search for new potentially anticancer drugs, series of angucyclinone aza-analogues
containing pyridine and pyridopyridazine rings have been designed and synthesized by a …

Intramolecular hydrogen bonds (IHBs) play a central role in the molecular structure,
chemical reactivity and interactions of biologically active molecules. Here, we study the IHBs …

Photochemical reactions between 1, 4-benzo-and 1, 4-naphthoquinone and several
heteroaromatic carbaldehydes were investigated under solar irradiation conditions. These …

The cytotoxic and antiproliferative properties of many natural sesquiterpene-quinones and-
hydroquinones from sponges offer promising opportunities for the development of new …

The reaction of (+)-euryfuran 1 with several benzo-, naphtho-and benzo [b] thiophene-1, 4-
quinones in acetic acid yields the corresponding euryfuryl-1, 4-quinones 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12 …

In the search for new potentially anticancer drugs, isoquinolinequinone-containing
polycyclic compounds have been designed and synthesized through highly regiocontrolled …

The preparation of furyl-1, 4-quinone and hydroquinones by reaction of 2-furaldehyde N, N-
dimethylhydrazone with benzo-and naphthoquinones is reported. Access to …
