General description

1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone is an organic dye molecule with an aromatic structure. It is a derivative of anthraquinone bearing hydroxyl moieties. They may find uses in pharmacological, biochemical and dye industries. Anthraquinone dye are resistant to degradation.

Application

1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone may be used in the synthesis of cyclopentanoids by cyclization of α,β-unsaturated aldehyde with 1, 4 1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone. It has been studied as a long range emissive ratiometric fluorescent probe for live cell imaging.

Absorption and fluorescence spectra of a polyquinoneimine, PQI, built on 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone and a siloxane diamine, 1,3-bis(amino-phenylene-ester-methylene)tetramethyldisiloxane, have been investigated in solvents of different polarities. The effect of solvents on the spectral properties was investigated using Lippert-Mataga and Bakhshiev polarity functions

A series of 2-substituted-1,4-bis(dimethylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone derivatives were synthesized and their in vitro antiproliferative activities against p388 mouse leukemic tumor cells were evaluated. In addition, the effect of substituents on the phenyl ring was investigated. Among the derivatives tested, seven showed a
