The Trypanocidal Activity of Naphthoquinones: A Review

The Trypanocidal Activity of Naphthoquinones: A Review

Naphthoquinones are compounds present in several families of higher plants. Their molecular structures confer redox properties, and they are involved in multiple biological oxidative processes. In folk medicine, especially among Indian populations, plants containing naphthoquinones have been employe...
