- Cytotoxicity of Synthesized 1,4-Naphthoquinone Oxime Derivatives on Selected Human Cancer Cell Lines
-
In an effort to develop potent and selective antitumor agents, a series of 1,4-naphthoquinone oxime derivatives were designed and synthesized. The cytotoxicity of these compounds were evaluated against five human cancer cell lines (colorectal cancer cell: HCT-15, breast cancer cell: MDA-MB-231, liver cancer cell: BEL-7402, colorectal cancer cell: HCT-116 and ovarian cancer cell: A2780) in vitro. Among them, compound 14 was found to be the most potent cytotoxic compound against three cell lines (MDA-MB-231, BEL-7402 and A2780) with IC50 values of 0.66±0.05, 5.11±0.12 and 8.26±0.22μM, respectively. Additionally, the length of the side chains and the position of the substituent may also affect the cytotoxic activity of the naphthoquinone oxime derivatives. In general, compound 14 effectively inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation and may become a promising anticancer agent.

- Model study toward total synthesis of dimeric pyranonaphthoquinones: Synthesis of hemi-actinorhodin#
-
In connection with our synthetic study toward the dimeric pyranonaphthoquinone antibiotics, actinorhodin (1) and β-naphthocyclinone (3), we describe herein the synthesis of a monomer, hemi-actinorhodin (6) as a model target. Several implications were gained, including (1) stereoselective synthesis of the pyranonaphthoquinone, (2) viable construction of the naphthazarin core, and (3) the final deprotection conditions.

- A regioselective synthesis of 7-methyl juglone and its derivatives
-
7-Methyl juglone as a naturally occurring naphthoquinone showed striking antibacterial, antifungal, antivirus and anticancer activity. Its derivatives had also been characterized as key intermediates in the preparation of natural naphthoquinones and anthraquinones. Herein, we reported a regioselective synthesis of 7-methyl juglone via the construction of fused polycyclic systems. The key steps of the strategy involved Stobbe condensation of 2,5-dimethoxy benzaldehyde with diethyl succinate, intramolecular cyclization, reduction, acid-facilitated debenzylation and further cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate-mediated oxidation. Compared with the reported methods employing Birch conditions in liquid ammonia or Friedel-Crafts cycloacylation with melting heat of aluminum salts, the reaction conditions in the new synthetic route were milder and suitable for large scale preparations. In addition, all of the starting materials in the synthesis were readily available. It has great implications for the design and synthesis of structurally asymmetric naphthoquinones derivatives.

- Synthetic method of 7-methyljuglone
-
The invention discloses a synthetic method of 7-methyljuglone. The method comprises the steps: taking 2,5-dialkoxy benzaldehyde (II) as a raw material, adopting a method of carrying out a condensationreaction on aldehyde and succinate of linear alkyl alcohol in the presence of sodium hydrogen and cyclizing the condensation product in a sodium acetate-acetic anhydride system, to prepare an intermediate 4-acetoxy-5,8-dialkoxy-2-naphthoate derivative (III); reducing the intermediate through lithium aluminum hydride, dissolving in an organic solvent, and carrying out a dehydroxylation reaction under the catalytic action of a catalyst to generate an intermediate 5,8-dialkoxy-3-methyl-1-naphthol (V); and carrying out methoxy methyl ether (MOM) protection, ceric ammonium nitrate oxidation and deprotection reaction on the intermediate (V) to generate 7-methyljuglone. The synthetic method is simple and convenient and good in effect; the used raw materials are easy to obtain and low in price; the reaction yield of each step is high, the conditions are mild, and the method is suitable for large-scale preparation.

- Benzimidazole Derivatives as Novel Zika Virus Inhibitors
-
We have synthesized 50 benzimidazole (BMZ) derivatives with 1,2-phenylenediamines and aromatic aldehydes under mild oxidation conditions by using inexpensive, nontoxic inorganic salt sodium metabisulfite in a one-pot condensation reaction and screened their ability to interfere with Zika virus (ZIKV) infection utilizing a cell-based phenotypic assay. Seven BMZs inhibited an African ZIKV strain with a selectivity index (SI=CC50/EC50) of 9–37. Structure-activity relationship analysis demonstrated that substitution at the C-2, N-1, and C-5 positions of the BMZ ring were important for anti-ZIKV activity. The hybrid structure of BMZ and naphthalene rings was a structural feature responsible for the high anti-ZIKV activity. Importantly, BMZs inhibited ZIKV in human neural stem cells, a physiologically relevant system considering the severe congenital anomalies, like microcephaly, caused by ZIKV infection. Compound 39 displayed the highest antiviral efficacy against the African ZIKV strain in Huh-7 (SI>37) and neural stem cells (SI=12). Compound 35 possessed the highest activity in Vero cells (SI=115). Together, our data indicate that BMZs derivatives have to be considered for the development of ZIKV therapeutic interventions.

The use of the Stobbe condensation for the synthesis of juglone derivatives is presented, together with studies towards their further functionalization. The regiospecific oxidation of the above products to o- or p-naphthoquinones was also investigated. Finally, the preparation of useful intermediates for the synthesis of related natural products such as alkannin and shikonin is proposed. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2002.

-
The carboethoxynaphthol 3d was converted via salcomine oxidation to the masked carboethoxynaphthazarin 4b which could undergo nucleophilic addition or, if unmasked, transfer quinone reactivity to the alternative ring in form 5. The latter should undergo regiospecific Diels-Alder reactions.
