Abstract

Quinones have various pharmacological properties including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and anticancer activity. Two novel 2, 3-disubstituted 1, 4-naphthoquinones and their metal complexes were synthesised, characterized and tested. The cytotoxic potential of the novel 2, 3-disubstituted 1, 4-naphthoquinones and their metal complexes was studied against L929 murine fibroblasts cells grown in vitro. The treatment ...
