Application

5-Hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (juglone) can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of:
  • Trypanocidal drugs.
  • Tacrine-naphthoquinone hybrids with potential application in the treatment of Alzheimer′s disease.
  • Juglone-based electroactive polymer, poly(5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone-co-5-hydroxy-3-thioacetic acid-1,4-naphthoquinone), for the electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization.
  • Ent-nocardione A, naturally-occurring tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor.

Juglone can also be used as a dienophile in the Diels–Alder reaction for the synthesis of variety of C-aryl glycosides.
