Abstract

Malignant gliomas continue to demand the search for improved chemotherapeutic solutions. In this work the results of a preliminary in vitro screening performed on a small library of compounds are disclosed. As a result 2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-8-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone emerged as a promising therapeutic lead.
