Abstract
A series of naphthoquinone derivatives has been synthesized and tested for its biological activity against human African trypanosomiasis. The use of reverse micellar medium not only enhanced the conversion rate, but also showed selectivity towards mono-coupled product in aryl chloride-aniline coupling reactions. Two derivatives of naphthoquinone (9b and 9c) exhibited potent activity against Trypanosoma brucei in vitro with low cytotoxicity.
