Synthesis and studies of the antifungal activity of 2-anilino-/2,3-dianilino-/2-phenoxy- and 2,3-diphenoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones

Several synthetic and natural naphthoquinone derivatives have been associated with antifungal activity. Candida albicans is a fungus that is known to exist in the normal human flora, but under certain conditions it can cause mild to fatal infections. Its pathogenicity has been associated with fungus conversion from cellular yeast to filamentous form Y–M. Inhibition of this process by several anilino-, dianilino-, phenoxy-, and diphenoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones was investigated in order to find some correlation between structure, redox properties and biological activity.

Synthesis of novel substituted methoxybenzo[2,3-b]carbazole derivatives via C-H functionalization. Experimental and theoretical characterization of their photophysical properties

The novel, highly blue, fluorescent N-methyl-6,11-dimethoxybenzo[2,3-b]carbazole derivatives were prepared by oxidative coupling of anilines with naphthoquinone followed by palladium catalyzed oxidative [Formula presented] functionalization and a one pot

2-(Fluoro-) and 2-(methoxyanilino)-1,4-naphthoquinones. Synthesis and mechanism and effect of fluorine substitution on redox reactivity and NMR

The influence of catalysts on the addition of methoxy- and fluoroanilines with 1,4-naphthoquinone to give methoxy- and fluoro-substituted 2-(anilino)-1,4-naphthoquinones was investigated. In the absence of a catalyst, this reaction requires long times and

Spectral and structural characterization of 2-(fluorophenylamino)- and 2-(nitrophenylamino)-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives

Naphthoquinone amino derivatives exhibit interesting physicochemical properties and are of interest for potential medicinal purposes. The preparation of novel 2-(nitrophenylamino)-1,4-naphthoquinones derivatives was achieved by reaction of nitroanilines with 1,4-naphthoquinone with a catalytic amount of FeCl3 or by direct nitration of 2-(phenylamino)-1,4-naphthoquinone (PAN). Structural and photophysical properties of a series of NO2PANs and FPANs derivatives are examined using computational and spectroscopic methods. Absorbance and emission spectra are measured in a range of solvent environments to examine the impact of solvent-solute interactions. Additionally quantum calculations are used to evaluate the electronic nature of the spectral transitions and compare structures of the different PAN derivatives. The lowest energy electronic transitions have charge transfer character, and show the most sensitivity to solvent and substituents. Higher energy π- π* transitions are relatively insensitive to both factors. Computational predictions are in good agreement with the experimental spectra, and provide molecular-level insight variations amongst the different aniline-substituents.

2-Phenylaminonaphthoquinones and related compounds: Synthesis, trypanocidal and cytotoxic activities

A series of new 2-aminonaphthoquinones and related compounds were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as trypanocidal and cytotoxic agents. Some tested compounds inhibited epimastigote growth and trypomastigote viability. Several compounds showed similar or higher activity and selectivity as compared with current trypanocidal drug, nifurtimox. Compound 4l exhibit higher selectivity than nifurtimox against Trypanosoma cruzi in comparison with Vero cells. Some of the synthesized quinones were tested against cancer cells and normal fibroblasts, showing that certain chemical modifications on the naphthoquinone moiety induce and excellent increase the selectivity index of the cytotoxicity (4g and 10). The results presented here show that the anti-T. cruzi activity of 2-aminonaphthoquinones derivatives can be improved by the replacement of the benzene ring by a pyridine moiety. Interestingly, the presence of a chlorine atom at C-3 and a highly lipophilic alkyl group or aromatic ring are newly observed elements that should lead to the discovery of more selective cytotoxic and trypanocidal compounds.

C-H functionalization of 1,4-naphthoquinone by oxidative coupling with anilines in the presence of a catalytic quantity of copper(II) acetate

The oxidative addition of anilines (2) with 1,4-naphthoquinone (3) to give N-aryl-2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones (1) was found to be catalyzed by copper(II) acetate. In the absence of the catalyst, the reactions are slower and give lower yields with the formation of many colateral products. In the presence of 10 mol % hydrated copper(II) acetate, the reactions are generally more efficient in that they are cleaner, higher yielding, and faster.
