New oxirane derivatives were synthesized using six naphthoquinones as the starting materials. Our biological results showed that these oxiranes acted as trypanocidal agents against Trypanosoma cruzi with minimal cytotoxicity in the VERO cell line compared to naphthoquinones. In particular, oxirane

Naphthoquinones are bioactive compounds widespread in nature that impact on several cellular pathways, including cell proliferation and survival, by acting as prooxidants and electrophiles. We have previously described the role of the synthetic isoxazole condensed 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative 1a in preventing
