Vários derivados de 1,4-naftoquinonas contendo um grupo hidrazino como cadeia lateral foram sintetizados a partir do 3-diazo-naftaleno-1,2,4-triona e foram avaliados como potenciais agentes antimicrobianos. Os derivados naftoquinônicos 2--hidrazono]-malonato de etila mostraram maior atividade antibacteriana, ao nível de teste preliminar em disco, que o lapachol (1), uma 1,4-naftoquinona muito conhecida pelas suas variadas atividades biológicas. Estudo sobre a concentração mínima inibitória (MIC) para o Staphylococcus aureus mostrou que 2-[(3-hidroxi-1,4-dioxo-1,4-diidronaftaleno-2-il)-hidrazono]-malonato de etila tem uma atividade duas vezes maior que 1. Da mesma forma, o estudo da densidade ótica em cultura de S. aureus com esta substância mostrou uma atividade similar à da vancomicina na concentração de 2xMIC.Several 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives having a hydrazino side chain were synthesized from 3-diazo-naphthalene-1,2,4-trione and tested as potential antimicrobial agents. These naphthoquinone derivatives 2-[N'-(1-acetyl-2-oxo-propylidene)-hydrazino]-3-hydroxy-[1,4]naphthoquinone, ethyl 2-[(3-hydroxy-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-hydrazono]-3-oxo-butyrate, t-butyl 2-[(3-hydroxy-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-hydrazono]-3-oxobutyrate, 3-hydroxy-2-[(di-O-isopropylidene-malonate)-hydrazino]-1,4-naphthoquinone, and diethyl 2-[(3-hydroxy-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-hydrazono]-malonate showed greater antibacterial activity at the level of the preliminary susceptibility testing in disk than lapachol (1), a well known 1,4-naphthoquinone which has several biological activities. Studies on the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for Staphylococcus aureus showed that diethyl 2-[(3-hydroxy-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-hydrazono]-malonate has an activity twofold greater than 1. On the other hand, optical density measurement for S. aureus indicated that this compound has similar activity compared with vancomycin at 2xMIC.
Several routes for preparing oxazole nucleus fused to 1,4-naphthoquinone moiety were studied. Three new oxazole-l,4-naphthoquinone derivatives (4a-c) were prepared and evaluated against phatogenic bacteria. The use of ortho-ester methodology was found to be the best synthetic method for preparing these oxazoles, which showed very low antibacterial activity. The intermediate 2 showed a broad spectrum of activity comparable with oxacillin and vancomycin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
