Discovery of 1,4-Naphthoquinones as a New Class of Antiproliferative Agents Targeting GPR55.

abstract：:Acetaminophen (ApAP) is an electron donor capable of reducing radicals generated by redox cycling of hemeproteins. It acts on the prostaglandin H synthases (cyclooxygenases; COXs) to reduce the protoporphyrin radical cation in the peroxidase site of the enzyme, thus preventing the intra-molecular electron transfer tha...
