“…Naphthoquinones, considered to be potential antifungal drugs, are produced by many plants that belong to the Caryophyllales families (Rischer et al , 2002), including Nepenthaceae (Bringmann et al , 2000; Aung et al , 2002; Rischer et al , 2002), Droseraceae (Didry et al , 1998; Budzianowski, 2000), Plumbaginaceae (de Paiva et al , 2003), Drosophyllaceae (Bringmann et al , 1998), and Ebenaceae (Dzoyem et al , 2007). Naphthoquinones are synthesized by the shikimate and acetate–malonate (polyketide) pathways (Babula et al , 2009).…”
