Rufigallol

Rufigallol is an electron-deficient, disk-shaped anthraquinone derivative that functions as a versatile building block for inducing discotic liquid crystal (DLC) phases and conferring aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. It has demonstrated synergistic in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activity, particularly in combination with agents like vitamin C, making it a compound of interest for materials science and antiparasitic research.
