Abstract β-Lapachone (β-lap, 1), an ortho-naphthoquinone natural product isolated from the
lapacho tree (Tabebuia avellanedae) in many regions of South America, has received …

This review aims to explore the potential of resveratrol, a polyphenol stilbene, and beta-
lapachone, a naphthoquinone, as well as their derivatives, in the development of new drug …

Natural products that contain ortho-quinones show great potential as anticancer agents but
have been largely discarded from clinical development because their redox-cycling …

Despite ortho-quinones showing several biological and pharmacological activities, there is
still a lack of biophysical characterization of their interaction with albumin-the main carrier of …

Natural products play a key role in the history of human drug discovery, and especially for
the anticancer agents. Copper (I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide [3+ 2] cycloaddition (CuAAC) …

Over the past decades, a number of 1, 4‐naphthoquinones have been isolated from natural
resources and several of naphthoquinone derivatives with diverse structural motif have been …

The ruthenium‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (RuAAC) gives access to 1, 5‐
disubstitued triazoles in a single atom‐economical step and offers advantages compared to …

Electrochemical selenation in undivided electrochemical cells allows the preparation of
selenium‐containing naphthoquinones. The rapid, green and efficient protocol avoids …

Chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis,
and cardiovascular illness have been linked to a decrease in selenium levels and an …

Molecular electrochemistry is closely linked to life sciences. Electron transfers play important
roles in the bioactivation of redox-active drugs, in their metabolism/catabolism, and in their …
