Abstract

Twenty-six novel naphthoquinone aliphatic esters were synthesized by esterification of 1, 4- naphthoquinone alcohols with various aliphatic acids. The 1, 4-naphthoquinone alcohols were prepared from 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid in nine steps with excellent yields. Twenty- four of the novel synthetic naphthoquinone esters showed significant antimalarial activity with IC50 values in the range of 0.03− 16.63 μM. The length of the aliphatic chain and the ...
