1,4-Naphthoquinone
1,4-naphtoquinone, also known as 1,4-naphthalenedione or 1,4-dihydro-1,4-diketonaphthalene, is a member of the class of compounds known as naphthoquinones. Naphthoquinones are compounds containing a naphthohydroquinone moiety, which consists of a benzene ring linearly fused to a bezene-1,4-dione (quinone). 1,4-naphtoquinone is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1,4-naphtoquinone can be synthesized from naphthalene. 1,4-naphtoquinone is also a parent compound for other transformation products, including but not limited to, 2,3-dimethoxynaphthalene-1,4-dione, alisiaquinone A, and 1,4-naphthoquinone-2-carboxylic acid. 1,4-naphtoquinone can be found in liquor, which makes 1,4-naphtoquinone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 1,4-naphtoquinone is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. CONFIDENCE standard compound; INTERNAL_ID 18 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].
1,4-Naphthoquinone
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].
