Abstract

New substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones have been prepared in good overall yields through the naphthol route. The cytotoxicity of these compounds was tested in vitro on MCF-7 breast tumor cells. The most active compound 14 displayed an IC50 of 15μM.

Objective: To investigate the cytotoxicity of new naphthoquinones derivatives on MCF-7 cells.

Methods: Synthesis of new naphtoquinones derivatives and in vitro evaluation of their cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cells (rezasurin cell-based assay).

Results: Starting from Ethyl 4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-2-naphthoate, four naphthoquinones were prepared and exhibited substantial cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cells.

Conclusion: Preliminary studies of the structure-activity relationship have shown the influence of the structural parameters and, in particular, the nature of the naphthoquinone side chain.

Keywords: Quinones, medicinal chemistry, cytotoxicity, antitumor agents, MCF-7 cells, naphthoquinones.
