Design, synthesis and anticancer activity of 2-amidomethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones and its conjugates with Biotin/polyamine.

In continuation with the previous work, a series of 5-hydroxy-2-amidomethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones were prepared to establish the structure-activity relationship studies toward anticancer activity (IC in µM) against three cell lines; colo205 (colon adenocarcinoma), T47D (breast ductal carcinoma) and K562 (chronic myelogenous leukemia). Among the synthesized compounds, naphthoquinone amines, 5 (0.8; 0.

Investigation of chemical reactivity of 2-alkoxy-1,4-naphthoquinones and their anticancer activity.

To establish the structure-activity relationship of 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones toward anticancer activity, a series of its derivatives were prepared and tested for the activity (IC in µM) against three cell lines; colo205 (colon adenocarcinoma), T47D (breast ductal carcinoma) and K562 (chronic myelogenous leukemia). Among them 2 (IC: 2.3; 2.
