Abstract:

Innovative synthetic methodologies are enabling the creation of tailored quinone derivatives, driving progress in drug development, catalysis, and materials science. Furthermore, the medicinal potential of quinones, particularly as anticancer agents and antimicrobial compounds, is gaining prominence, with ongoing studies focusing on their mechanisms of action and therapeutic applications. In materials science, quinones are finding utility in the design of conductive polymers, organic photovoltaics, and molecular switches, owing to their tunable electronic properties. Additionally, quinones continue to play pivotal roles in environmental chemistry, impacting processes such as pollutant degradation and redox cycling in aquatic ecosystems. Finally, their biochemical significance remains paramount, with ongoing investigations into their roles in enzymatic reactions, respiratory chains, and electron transport chains. This abstract offers a concise overview of these emerging facets of quinone chemistry, highlighting their potential to reshape our understanding of these compounds and their practical applications across various scientific disciplines
