Regioselective Synthesis of Potential Non-Quinonoid Prodrugs of Plasmodione: Antiparasitic Properties Against Two Hemoglobin-Feeding Parasites and Drug Metabolism Studies

Ψ-1,4-naphthoquinones (Ψ-NQ) are non-quinoid compounds in which aromaticity—found in 1,4-naphthoquinones—is broken by the introduction of an angular methyl at C-4a or -8a. This series was designed to act as prodrugs of 1,4-naphthoquinones in an oxidative environment. Furthermore, from a medicinal ch...
