Compounds 4. 1.4-dihydroxy-6-aminoethyl-9.10-anthracenedione was synthesized in 6 steps starting with 4-methyl-phthalic acid, and compound 5, 2(4-aminobutyl)-l 4-dihvdroxv-9,10-anthracenedione was synthesized in 5 steps from N-3-bromopropylphthalimide.展开更多

A significant proportion of approved molecular entity drugs are either directly derived from NPs orindirectly through modifications of NPs. This review presents an overview of NP drugs recently approved in China, the United States,and other countries, spanning various disease categories, including cancers, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, centralnervous system disorders, and infectious diseases. The article provides a succinct introduction to the origin, activity, development process, approval details, and mechanism of action of these NP drugs.展开更多
