Synthesis of Diospyrin, a Potential Agent Against Leishmaniasis and Related Parasitic Protozoan Diseases

Phytochemical, spectroscopic and density functional theory study of Diospyrin, and non-bonding interactions of Diospyrin with atmospheric gases

“…252-255°C. The 1 H and 13 C NMR data were found to be identical to the data reported previously for DO [10], so that is why we did not include here.…”

Glutathione transferase fromPlasmodium falciparum– Interaction with malagashanine and selected plant natural products

“…The compound was isolated and purified meticulously as previously described [17]. Its structure has been established through routine spectroscopic methods, and it was reconfirmed to be 2,6′-bis(5-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone) through total synthesis [18]. Geshoidin was isolated as described by Abegaz and Kebede [19].…”

The Suzuki Reaction with Arylboron Compounds in Arene Chemistry

“…Mori and Yoshida have reported the first synthesis of diospyrin, employing Suzuki coupling as a key reaction enabling connection of the two 7-methyljuglone units (Eq. (16)) [39].…”
