The NHC-catalyzed conjugate hydroacylation of 1,4-naphthoquinones allows for the synthesis of monoacylated 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene derivatives. These targets, difficult to prepare selectively by standard protocols, represent important intermediates in the elaboration of highly substituted 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives, which constitute relevant pharmaceutical scaffolds. High

The proteases encoded by herpesviruses including herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) are attractive targets for antiviral drug development because of their important roles in viral replication. We randomly screened a chemical compound library for inhibitory

At neutral pH, 1,4-naphthohydroquinone and 2-methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone readily autoxidize to the corresponding quinones. In an unpurified phosphate buffer, the autoxidation of both substances proceeded in a linear fashion after a brief lag phase. Addition of a chelating agent or purification of

The rates of autoxidation of a number of pure naphthohydroquinones have been determined, and the effects of pH, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and of the parent naphthoquinone on the oxidation rates have been investigated. Most compounds were slowly oxidised in acid

Several new 6-(3-pyrazolylpropyl) derivatives of 1,4-naphthohydroquinone-1,4-diacetate (NHQ-DA) have been prepared by chemical modifications of the Diels-Alder adduct of alpha-myrcene and 1,4-benzoquinone. All these new compounds and precursors have been evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxicity against cultured human cancer cells
