“…Nowadays, the application of quinone-based molecules as efficient electron carriers in biological processes, in energy storage, and in CO 2 reduction devices and their pharmacological activity in different diseases are extensively investigated. Quinones’ key role in the aforementioned applications is mainly due to their facile and highly tailorable redox chemistry.…”

“…A set of compounds derived from 1,4-NQ and 1,2-NQ were studied ( Figure 1 ) to evaluate the viability of an alternative MA protocol for their synthesis, their biological potential, and the impact of the association of these moieties in the same molecule. Aliphatic amines and substituted anilines with electron donor and acceptor groups have been used as nucleophilic partners since it is known that the electronic nature and position of the substituents in the NQ aromatic rings affect their redox potential and, consequently, the associated biological activities [ 6 ].…”

“…These heterocyclic compounds are known to exhibit a diverse range of biological properties, such as antimicrobials, antitumoral, antioxidants, antimalarial, and neuroprotectants, among others [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Their mechanisms of action are often related to their redox properties, as most have the capacity to accept one or two electrons to generate highly reactive radical species capable of interacting with biological molecules such as DNA, enzymes, and other proteins [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The electrochemical behavior of these compounds seems to be related to the biological activity and quinone scaffold, with multiple redox functionalities, justifying the continuous interest and efforts to find derivatives with different functionalization and screening for potential biological properties [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

“…Molecular electrochemistry now is closely interfaced with medicinal chemistry, especially in the case of quinones [72]. Voltammetry allows obtaining additional information about the properties of nanosystems as encapsulated into (co)polymer electrochemical active compounds [44,45,53,57,73], especially if their free (molecular) and encapsulated forms differ substantially with energetic characteristics, see, e.g., [45,52,57].…”
