Abstrakt: After heart disease, cancer is the second-leading cause of death worldwide. The most effective method of cancer treatment is target therapy. One of the potential goals of therapy could be DT-diaphorase, which reduces quinone moiety to hydroquinone, and reactive oxygen species are create as a byproduct. The obtaining of hybrid compounds containing the quinone moiety and other bioactive compounds leads to new derivatives which can activate DT-diaphorase. The aim of this research was the synthesis and characterization of new hybrids of 5,8-quinolinedione with thymidine derivatives. The analysis of the physicochemical properties shows a strong relationship between the structure and properties of the tested compounds. The enzymatic assay shows that hybrids are good substrates of NQO1 protein. The analysis of the structure–activity relationship shows that the localization of nitrogen atoms influences the enzymatic conversion rate. The analysis was supplemented by a molecular docking study. Comparing the results of the enzymatic assay and the molecular docking presents a strong correlation between the enzymatic conversion rate and the scoring value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
