The present study reports the anti-mycobacterial activity of 2-hydroxy-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (lapachol) as well as its influence on macrophage functions. Lapachol (L) did not induce apoptosis/necrosis of THP-1 macrophages at ≤32 μg/mL. Mycobacterium avium liquid growth was arrested by ≥32 μg/mL and

Derivatives of natural quinones with biological activities, such as lapachol, alpha- and beta-lapachones, have been synthesized and their trypanocidal activity evaluated in vitro in Trypanosoma cruzi cells. All tested compounds inhibited epimastigote growth and trypomastigote viability. Several compounds showed similar

The pentacyclic 1,4-naphthoquinones 1a-d were cytotoxic (IC(50) approximately 2-7 microM) to human leukemic cell lines K562 (oxidative stress-resistant), Lucena-1 (MDR phenotype) and Daudi. Fresh leukemic cells obtained from patients, some with the MDR phenotype, were also sensitive to these compounds.
