Present study involves the synthesis, characterization, antimalarial and anticancer activities of some
novel substituted amino analogues of 1,4-naphthoquinone. The chloro group present in the key starting
materials like 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (1) and 2-chloro-3-[trans-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-
cyclohexyl]-1,4-naphthoquinone (2) was replaced by substituted amines. These analogues were isolated,
purified and screened for antimalarial and anticancer activities. A few of the novel compounds were
found to possess substantial biological activity and are reasonably potent.
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.
