| 6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid | A monocarboxylic acid consisting of 2-naphthylacetic acid having a methoxy substituent at the 6-position. The active metabolite of the prodrug nabumetone. | (6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)acetic acid |
| ancistroealaine a | An isoquinoline alkaloid that is (3S)-6,8-dimethoxy-1,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline substituted by a 4,5-dimethoxy-7-methylnaphthalen-1-yl group at position 5. It is isolated from the leaves of Ancistrocladus tanzaniensis and exhibits antiplasmodial, antileishmanial and antitrypanocidal activities. | ancistrotanzanine B |
| dioncophylline a | An isoquinoline alkaloid that is the biaryl resulting from substitution of the hydrogen at the 7-position of (1R,3R)-1,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-8-ol by a 4,5-dimethoxy-2-methylnaphthalen-1-yl group. It is a naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the roots and stem barks of Triphyophyllum peltatum and exhibits antifungal, antimalarial, antineoplastic and molluscicidal activites. | 7-epi-dioncophylline A; dioncophylline A |
| dioncophylline c | An isoquinoline alkaloid that is the biaryl resulting from substitution of the hydrogen at the 5-position of (1R,3R)-1,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-8-ol by a 5-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-methylnaphthalen-1-yl group. It is a naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the roots and stem barks of Triphyophyllum peltatum and exhibits antimalarial activity. | dioncophylline C |
| nabumetone | A methyl ketone that is 2-butanone in which one of the methyl hydrogens at position 4 is replaced by a 6-methoxy-2-naphthyl group. A prodrug that is converted to the active metabolite, 6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid, following oral administration. It is shown to have a slightly lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects than most other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. | nabumetone |
| naproxen | A methoxynaphthalene that is 2-methoxynaphthalene substituted by a carboxy ethyl group at position 6. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug commonly used for the reduction of pain, fever, inflammation and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, kidney stones, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, menstrual cramps, tendinitis, bursitis, and for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. It works by inhibiting both the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. | naproxen |
| naproxen-n-butyl nitrate | A carboxylic ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of naproxen with the hydroxy group of 4-(nitrooxy)butanol. A cyclooxygenase-inhibiting nitric oxide donator that is metabolised to naproxen and a nitric oxide donating moiety, effective in treatment of osteoarthritis. | naproxcinod |
