Abstract:
Background: 2-Hydroxy-1,4-Naphthoquinone (HNQ; Lawsone) is one of the most
useful and the simplest naturally occurring naphthoquinones and has stimulated a resurgence of
interest in the past decades due to a wide range of pharmacological activities.
Introduction and Methods: This activity has led to the unusually large emphasis being placed
on the design of more efficient multi-component reactions (MCRs) in the synthesis of bioactive
lawsone derivatives.
Results and Conclusion: This review highlights the recent developments in multi-component
synthesis of biologically relevant naphthoquinone linked and fused heterocyclic derivatives carried
out from 2015 till now.
