lawsone/breast neoplasms

The C-3 substituted phenylazo derivatives of lawsone (2-hydroxy-l,4 p-naphthoquinone, III) were synthesized and characterized. The X-ray crystal structure was determined for the ligand 3-(3'-methyl phenylazo) lawsone. The copper complexes of these derivatives were found to possess 1:2 metal

Breast cancer is the most incident and mortal cancer type in women, with an estimated 2 million new cases expected by 2020 worldwide, with 600,000 deaths. As not all breast cancer types respond to the anti-hormonal therapy, the development of new antineoplastic drugs is necessary. Lawsone

Phytochemicals like Lawsone have some drawbacks that stem from their poor solubility. Low solubility in aqueous mediums results in low bioavailability, poor permeability and instability of phytochemical compounds in biological environments. The aim of this study was to design nanoniosomes containing

Six new ruthenium(ii) complexes with lapachol (Lap) and lawsone (Law) with the general formula [Ru(L)(P-P)(bipy)]PF6, where L = Lap or Law, P-P = 1,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), 1,4'-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb), 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) and bipy =

New Ru(II) complexes with lawsone (law) characterized as trans-[Ru(law)(PPh3)2(N-N)]PF6, where PPh3 means triphenylphosphine and N-N is 2,2'-bipyridine (1), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (2), 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine (3), 1,10-phenanthroline (4) or 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5), induce

BACKGROUND Low molecular weight 1,2,3-triazoles and naphthoquinones are endowed with various types of biological activity, such as against cancer, HIV and bacteria. However, in some cases, the conjugation of these two nuclei considerably increases their biological activities Objective: In this work,

Polyamine-naphthoquinone conjugates 5a-c were synthesized by nucleophilic displacement of 2-methoxy-lawsone 3a, 2-methoxylapachol 3b and 2-methoxy-nor-lapachol 3c with the polyamine N1-Boc-N5-Bn-spermidine 4. Unprotected derivatives 6a-c were synthesized to evaluate the effect of the protective Boc

A phenaxazone compound [5H-Benzo[a]phenoxazin-5-one (BP)] along with an aminoquinone[2-[(o-hydroxyphenyl)amino]-1,4-naphthaquinone (HAN)] derivatives were synthesized from lawsone using ultrasound irradiation technique. The structure of the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and

A simple and efficient procedure was employed for the synthesis of N'-(1,4-naphtho-quinone-2-yl) isonicotinohydrazide (NIH) by the reaction of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinone (lawsone) and isonicotinoyl hydrazine in methanol using ultrasonic irradiation. Lawsone is the principal dye, isolated from the

Seven new 1,4-naphthoquinones structurally related to lapachol were synthesized from lawsone and oxygenated arylmercurials. These compounds can also be seen as pterocarpan derivatives where the A-ring was substituted by the 1,4-naphthoquinone nucleus. Pharmacological screening provided evidence of

A derivative of naphthaquinone, 2-((1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)amino)naphthalene-1,4-dione (DPDHN) was synthesized from lawsone by ultrasound accelerated technique. The compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, NMR and mass spectral studies. Single
