Abstract
Hydrazone is a versatile organic compound that has a basic structure (-NHN=CH-) called the azomethine group. This structure is responsible for the physical and chemical of hydrazone, which makes this compound has variety bioactivities such as antioxidant, antitumor, and anticancer. In this work, two hydrazone derivatives from 1-naphthaldehyde and hydrazine (phenylhydrazine/hydrazine hydrate) have been synthesized under microwave irradiation. Their antioxidant activity and toxicity were evaluated by DPPH and BSLT method, respectively. Structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed based on spectroscopic data included UV, FTIR, HRMS, and 1H-NMR. Based on the DPPH assay, hydrazone from phenylhydrazine has strong antioxidant (IC50 28.90 μg/mL) but inactive antioxidant for hydrazine hydrate (IC50 >1000 μg/mL). However, both compounds have a high toxicity effect on Artemia Salina Leach with each LC50 1.45 and 47.20 μg/mL, hence they have the potential to be developed into anticancer drugs.
