Monoamine oxidase (MAO) action has been involved in the regulation of neurotransmitters levels, cell signaling, cellular growth, and differentiation as well as in the balance of the intracellular polyamine levels. Although so far obscure, MAO inhibitors are believed to have

Naphthoquinones are bioactive compounds widespread in nature that impact on several cellular pathways, including cell proliferation and survival, by acting as prooxidants and electrophiles. We have previously described the role of the synthetic isoxazole condensed 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative 1a in preventing

Airborne quinones contribute to adverse health effects of ambient particles probably because of their ability to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH) via redox cycling, but the mechanisms remain unclear. We examined the chemical mechanisms through which 1,4-naphthoquinone (1,4-NQ) induced ·OH, and

In their inhibition-inducing interactions with enzymes, quinones primarily utilize two mechanisms, arylation and oxidation of enzyme thiol groups. In this work, we investigated the interactions of 1,4-naphthoquinone with urease in an effort to estimate the contribution of the two mechanisms

New oxirane derivatives were synthesized using six naphthoquinones as the starting materials. Our biological results showed that these oxiranes acted as trypanocidal agents against Trypanosoma cruzi with minimal cytotoxicity in the VERO cell line compared to naphthoquinones. In particular, oxirane
