DURAN LENGUA, Marlene; GAITAN IBARRA, Ricardo y OLIVERO VERBEL, Jesús Tadeo. Database search on biological activity of quinoid molecules. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.4, pp. 416-430. ISSN 2307-2113.
Introduction: quinones are biological molecules widely distributed on the nature. Recently the group of natural products of the University of Cartagena (Colombia) obtained by extraction of plants of genus tabebuia and by chemistry synthesis an important number of these compounds. However with the purpose of made more detailed studies about the biological activity and structural type reported for these compounds, (naphtoquinone and furanonaphtoquinone linear o angular) reviewed in several database. Objective: search information that allows us to know 1) The compounds were already registered 2) Biological activity and bioassay performed to these molecules, in vivo, in vitro and in silico. Methods: this research was developed using a design of review than involved the edition of molecules by a graphic interface of server (PUBCHEM CHEMIDPLUS ADVANCE, CHEBI) and supplementary data search in PUBMED database. The most relevant data about biological activity was related with chemical structure of the synthesized compounds and their analogues obtained from databases. Results: the compounds tested on the database, 24 were already on PUBCHEM database, 12 molecules show reports of biological activity on the databases. Founding that bigger number of bioassays was reported with furanonaphtoquinones, followed by naphtoquinones. Conclusion: the cytotoxic and anticancer activity in cell lines of different type, represent the most of performed bioassay.
