Three FMN-dependent oxidoreductases, YcnD and YhdA from Bacillus subtilis and Lot6p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, oxidised alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and a thioether, respectively, to furnish the corresponding racemic epoxides or sulfoxide, respectively. The mechanism of this enzyme-mediated (rather than enzyme-catalysed) oxidation

The oxidation of various quinones by H2O2 results in quinone epoxide formation. The yield of epoxidation is inversely related to the degree of methyl substitution of the quinone and seems not to be dependent on the redox potential of the

We investigated the cytotoxicity of eight vitamin K3 (VK3) analogs against neuroblastoma cell lines (IMR-32, LA-N-1, NB-39, and SK-N-SH) and normal cell lines (human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human dermal fibroblasts (HDF)) using a 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.

Cations of hydroxy-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones were synthesized and evaluated as antiplasmodial agents against Plasmodium falciparum. The atovaquone analogues were found to be inactive as antagonists of parasite growth, which was attributed to ionization of the acidic hydroxyl moiety. Upon modification to
