1,2,3-Triazole-, arylamino- and thio-substituted naphthoquinones (24, 8, 2 representatives, respectively) were synthesized in moderate yields evaluated against several human cancer cell lines (blood, ovarian, breast, central nervous system, colon, prostate cancers melanoma), showing, for some of them, IC50 values below μM. The cytotoxic potential the tested was also assayed on non-tumor cells such as peripheral blood mononucluear (PBMC) two murine fibroblast (L929 V79 cells). α-Lapachone-...

In continuation of our quest for new redox-modulating catalytic antitumor molecules, selenium-containing quinone-based 1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized using rhodium-catalyzed C-H bond activation and click reactions. All compounds evaluated against five types cancer cell lines: HL-60 (human promyelocytic leukemia cells), HCT-116 colon carcinoma SF295 glioblastoma NCIH-460 lung cells) PC3 prostate cells). Some showed good activity with IC50 values below 1 µM. The cytotoxic potential the...

In our continued search for novel trypanocidal compounds, twenty-six derivatives of para- and ortho-naphthoquinones coupled to 1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized. These compounds evaluated against the infective bloodstream form Trypanosoma cruzi, etiological agent Chagas disease. Compounds 17-24, 28-30 36-38 are described herein first time. Three these (28-30) found be more potent than standard drug benznidazole, with IC50/24h values between 6.8 80.8μM. Analysis toxicity heart muscle cells led...

Abstract Quinone‐based N ‐sulfonyl‐1,2,3‐triazoles were synthesized by click chemistry and subsequently evaluated against eight types of cancer cell lines. Some the compounds exhibited potent cytotoxicity with IC 50 values &lt; 1.0 μM. Also, cytotoxic potential quinones was peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC) V79 cells. Additionally, chemical reactivity Rh(II) aza‐vinyl carbenes generated in situ from these triazoles studied. These could provide promising new lead derivatives for more...

We report the synthesis of 47 new quinone-based derivatives via click chemistry and their subsequent evaluation against cancer cell lines control L929 murine fibroblast line. These compounds combine two redox centers, such as an ortho-quinone/para-quinone or quinones/selenium with 1,2,3-triazole nucleus. Several these present IC50 values below 0.5 μM in significantly lower cytotoxicity line good selectivity index. Hence, our study confirms use a complete very diverse range quinone potential...
