Naphthoquinone derivatives exert their antitrypanosomal activity via a multi-target mechanism.

Naphthoquinone derivatives exert their antitrypanosomal activity via a multi-target mechanism.

BACKGROUND AND METHODOLOGY: Recently, we reported on a new class of naphthoquinone derivatives showing a promising anti-trypanosomatid profile in cell-based experiments. The lead of this series (B6, 2-phenoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) showed an ED(50) of 80 nM against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, and a...
