ABSTRACT

Several 2-arylamino-, 2-aryloxy- and 2-arylsulfanyl-6(7)-alkyl-1,4-naphthoquinones (NQ) have been prepared and further transformed into the corresponding heterocyclic-fused naphthoquinones by palladium (II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization. The compounds synthesized have been evaluated against neoplastic cell lines. The extension of the polycyclic system clearly decreased the cytotoxic potency of the 2-substituted terpenylnaphthoquinones.

ABSTRACT

Several 6(7)-alkyl-1,4-naphthoquinones (NQ) have been prepared by cycloaddition reactions between the monoterpene alpha-myrcene and p-benzoquinones and halogen and nitrogen-containing functional groups have been introduced at the C-2 position of the naphthoquinone ring via nucleophilic addition or substitution reactions. These substituents at positions 2/3 of the NQ clearly influence the cytotoxic potency of this type of compound. Of particular interest is substitution by arylamino, specifically p-oxyarylamino, groups, which considerably enhance their bioactivity and selectivity.
