Abstract

Improving the solubility of polysubstituted 1, 4-naphthoquinone derivatives was achieved by introducing nitrogen in two different positions of the naphthoquinone core, at C-5 and at C-8 of menadione through a two-step, straightforward synthesis based on the regioselective hetero-Diels–Alder reaction. The antimalarial and the antischistosomal activities of these polysubstituted aza-1, 4-naphthoquinone derivatives were evaluated and led to the ...
