Аннотация

The naphthoquinones and their derivatives containing hydroxyl group exhibit wide range of pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, antimalarial, and antifungal activities. In particular, the antioxidant and anticancer behaviors of these compounds continue to draw attention of researchers. In the present communication, three natural naphthoquinones—juglone, lawsone, and plumbagin—isolated from the chloroform extract of nutshells of Juglans regia Linn. and two 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives—ethyl-5-hydroxynaphtho[ 1,2-b]furan-3-carboxylate and diethylnaphtho[1,2-b:4,3-b′]difuran-3,4-dicarboxylate—and three 5-hydroxy- 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives—diethyl-7-hydroxynaphtho[1,2-b:4,3-b']difuran-3,4-dicarboxylate,4-ethoxycarbonyl- 7-hydroxynaphtho[1,2-b:4,3-b']difuran-3-carboxylic acid, and 7-hydroxynaphtho[1,2-b:4,3-b']difuran-3,4- dicarboxylic acid were synthesized and examined for their in vitro antioxidant activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) bioassays. In addition, the cytotoxicity test using human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2) was carried out for all the compounds. The 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives displayed almost equivalent scavenging activity in DPPH assay and higher activity in ABTS assay relative to ascorbic acid. On the other hand, naphthoquinones Juglone and Plumbagin showed lesser antioxidant activity, but higher cytotoxic activity than naphthofurans except for diethyl naphtho[1,2-b:4,3-b′]difuran-3,4-dicarboxylate, which showed excellent cytotoxic activity.
