A self-complementary hydrogen-bonding recognition unit-2,5-bis(alkylamino)-1,4-benzoquinone has been synthesized and studied. The formation of hydrogen bond in both solid and solution state has been further investigated by means of FTIR, 1H NMR and UV-visible spectra, as well as X-ray diffraction. It can be concluded from the obtained results that the molecular complexes of this kind of compounds have a ribbon-like backbone which plays an important role in keeping the layer supramolecular structure.

A series of 2,5-substituted-1,4-benzoquinone (1-6) were prepared and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, 1H and 13C NMR spectra, and single crystal X-ray determination. The urease inhibitory activities of the compounds against H. pylori urease were studied. Among the compounds, 2,5-bis(2-morpholin-4-ylethylamino)-[1,4]benzoquinone (2) shows the most effective activity with IC50 value of 27.30 ± 2.17 μM. Docking simulation was performed to insert compound 2 into the crystal structure of H. pylori urease at the active site to determine the probable binding mode. As a result, compound 2 may be used as a potential urease inhibitor.

Purpose: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the deadliest of all tumors. Previously, we were the first to show that Thymoquinone (TQ) derived from black seed (Nigella sativa) oil has anti-tumor activity against PC. However, the concentration of TQ required
