Naphthalene (NA) is metabolically activated to the reactive intermediates, naphthalene oxide (NO) and naphthoquinones. To investigate the role of circulating reactive metabolites in NA toxicity, the half-life of NO was examined. The in vitro half-life of NO in both whole

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

Nuclear monoamination of a 1,4-naphthohydroquinone with primary aromatic amines was catalysed by the commercial laccase, Novozym 51003, from Novozymes to afford aminonaphthoquinones. The synthesis was accomplished by reacting a mixture of the primary amine and 1,4-naphthohydroquinone in succinate-lactate buffer and

The autoxidation of 1,4-naphthohydroquinone, in a phosphate, EDTA buffer at pH 7.4, exhibits an autocatalysis whose lag phase becomes more pronounced in the presence of either the Cu,Zn- or the Mn-containing superoxide dismutases. In contrast, the autoxidation of a second

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
