Abstract

Series of naphthoquinone thiol-crown ethers had been prepared. The antibacterial, antifungal, and cytotoxic activities of these synthetic naphthoquinone thiol-crown ethers were investigated. All of the compounds tested displayed antibacterial, cytotoxic and antifungal activities. The bis-naphthoquinone thiol-crown ether 7a was the most potent inhibitor among tested analogues against Staphylococcus aureus methicillin resistance with MIC value of 2.68 μM.
