Synthesis and antiplatelet, antiinflammatory, and antiallergic activities of 2-substituted 3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives Original Research Article

A series of 2-substituted 3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinones was synthesized, and the antiplatelet, antiinflammatory, and antiallergic activities of these compounds were evaluated. The structure-activity relationships in this series were also examined. Most of the 2-alkyl/arylcarboxamido derivatives of 3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone showed potent activities with similar trends in each of the activities evaluated.
