General description

Benz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-dione has been isolated as an active component from the ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Mitracarpus scaber. It exhibits significant in vitro inhibitory activity against the AIDS-related pathogens. The in vitro antibacterial and anti-fungal activity of benz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-dione has been investigated using the agar well-diffusion assay.

The in vitro antibacterial and anti-fungal activity of benz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-dione (1), benzo[g]quinoline-5, 10-dione (2), benzo[g]quinoline-5,6-dione (3), and anthraquinone (4) was determined using the agar well-diffusion assay. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC's) of each of the active compounds (1-3) was determined using

1,2-Disubstituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-diones are prepared for the first time through an activated Pictet-Spengler reaction of the corresponding imines of 2-(1,4-dimethoxynaphth-2-yl)ethylamine in the presence of an acyl chloride and AlCl(3) followed by an oxidation with silver(II) oxide in nitric acid. Depending on

Morphological abnormalities including extra compound eyes, extra heads, and distally duplicated legs were generated in cricket embryos by treating eggs with single doses of either benz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-dione or benzo[h]quinoline-5,6-dione. Slight structural modifications of the molecules resulted in a loss of teratogenic

An ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Mitracarpus scaber demonstrated good antimicrobial activity. Bioassay directed fractionation of this extract led to the isolation of benz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-dione (1) as an active component. Compound 1 showed significant in vitro inhibitory activity against
