6-Substituted 5,8-O-dimethyl-1,4-naphthoquinones(6-DMNQ),the promising anticancer scaffolds,were selectively generated by oxidative demethylation of 2-substituted 1,4,5,8-tetramethoxynaphthalenes with CAN in EtOAc/H...6-Substituted 5,8-O-dimethyl-1,4-naphthoquinones(6-DMNQ),the promising anticancer scaffolds,were selectively generated by oxidative demethylation of 2-substituted 1,4,5,8-tetramethoxynaphthalenes with CAN in EtOAc/H2O in comparatively high yields.An interesting finding was that apart from the reported electron-withdrawing effects of substituents on position 2 of naphthalene ring,regioselective synthesis of 6-DMNQ was largely dependent on the steric effects in CAN-mediated oxidation.The selective cytotoxicities of 6-DMNQ from the in vitro cell-based assays were exhibited between the cancer cells and normal cells.Moreover,most of sulfur-containing 6-DMNQ derivatives displayed better anticancer activities than the corresponding oxygen-containing ones,which could provide an available strategy for the design of 6-DMNQ derivatives as potential anticancer agents.展开更多
Fifteen 1-(4-substituted phenyl)-4-(4-bromophenyl)-5-(halo-o-hydroxyphenyl)imino-1,2,3-triazoles were designed and synthe- sized based on rational combination of 1,2,3-triazoles and (halo)o-hydroxyphenyl group...Fifteen 1-(4-substituted phenyl)-4-(4-bromophenyl)-5-(halo-o-hydroxyphenyl)imino-1,2,3-triazoles were designed and synthe- sized based on rational combination of 1,2,3-triazoles and (halo)o-hydroxyphenyl group according to the superposition principle of reinforcement of biological activities. All the compounds were tested to an in vitro antimicrobial screening against M.a. and E.c.. Compounds IIe-IIo exhibited more potent antimicrobial activities against M.a. and E.c. than triclosan and fluconazole, which provided valuable information to further study of novel antimicrobial research.展开更多
