Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Thio-Derivatives of 2-Hydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone (Lawsone) as Novel Antiplatelet Agents

We designed and synthesized in water, using conventional heating and microwave irradiation, new thio-derivatives of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, a naturally occurring pigment known as lawsone or hennotannic acid, thus improving their antiplatelet activity with relevance to their potential future us...
