1,4-Naphthoquinone (BioDeep_00000017294)

描述信息

1,4-naphthoquinone appears as yellow needles or brownish green powder with an odor of benzoquinone. (NTP, 1992)
1,4-naphthoquinone is the parent structure of the family of 1,4-naphthoquinones, in which the oxo groups of the quinone moiety are at positions 1 and 4 of the naphthalene ring. Derivatives have pharmacological properties. It derives from a hydride of a naphthalene.
1,4-Naphthoquinone is a natural product found in Juglans nigra and Juglans regia with data available.
1,4-Naphthoquinone or para-naphthoquinone is an organic compound derived from naphthalene. Several isomeric naphthoquinones are known, notably 1,2-naphthoquinone. 1,4-Naphthoquinone forms volatile yellow triclinic crystals and has a sharp odor similar to benzoquinone. It is almost insoluble in cold water, slightly soluble in petroleum ether, and more soluble in polar organic solvents. In alkaline solutions it produces a reddish-brown color. Vitamin K is a derivative of 1,4-naphthoquinone. It is a planar molecule with one aromatic ring fused to a quinone subunit. Naphthalene is a constituent of jet fuel, diesel fuel and cigarette smoke. It is also a byproduct of incomplete combustion and hence is an ubiquitous environmental pollutant. The typical air concentration of naphthalene in cities is about 0.18 ppb.
1,4-Naphthoquinone is a potential pharmacophore for inhibition of both MAO (monoamine oxidase) and DNA topoisomerase activities, this latter associated with antitumor activity[1].
