The search of new anti-inflammatory drugs has been a current preoccupation, due to the need of effective drugs, with less adverse reactions than those used nowadays. Several naphthoquinones (plumbagin, naphthazarin, juglone, menadione, diosquinone and 1,4-naphthoquinone), plus p-hydroquinone and p-benzoquinone were
A series of (1,4)-naphthoquinono [3,2-c]-1H-pyrazoles and their (1,4)-naphthohydroquinone derivatives 2-7 were synthesized and evaluated for antifungal, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds was studied and the results show that the compound 2b exhibited in vitro antifungal

The human selenoprotein thioredoxin reductase is involved in antioxidant defense and DNA synthesis. As increased thioredoxin reductase levels are associated with drug sensitivity to cisplatin and drug resistance in tumor cells, this enzyme represents a promising target for the development
Delineation of how cell death mechanisms associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) interact and whether they converge would help identify targets for neuroprotective therapies. The purpose of this study was to use a cellular model to address these issues. Catecholaminergic SH-SY5Y
