The investigation of trypanocidal effects against Trypanosoma cruzi and cytotoxicity in VERO cell line of several oxyranes structurally related to beta-lapachone, nor-beta-lapachone, alpha-lapachone, and 4-methoxy-1,2-naphthoquinone is described. It was found that the oxyranes 10 derived from alpha-lapachone showed an approximately the same trypanocidal activity of beta-lapachone. In addition, all the oxyranes showed less cytotoxicity than the corresponding naphthoquinones.
本文描述了几种与β-拉帕醌、去甲-β-拉帕醌、α-拉帕醌和4-甲氧基-1,2-萘醌结构相关的环氧乙烷对克氏锥虫的杀锥虫作用以及在VERO细胞系中的细胞毒性研究。结果发现,由α-拉帕醌衍生的环氧乙烷10显示出与β-拉帕醌大致相同的杀锥虫活性。此外,所有环氧乙烷的细胞毒性均低于相应的萘醌。
