1-isopropylnaphthalene (1) was administered orally to rabbits and the following eight metabolites, 2-(1-naphthyl)-2-propanol (7), 2-(1-naphthy)-1-propanol (8: R/S = 83 :17), 2-(1-naphthyl)-1,2-propanediol (9: R/S = 40:60), 4-isopropyl-1,2-naphthoquinone (10), 4-isopropyl-1-naphthol (11), 4-isopropyl-2-naphthol (12), 5-isopropyl-2-naphthol (13), and 2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid (14') as its methyl ester (14: R/S = 52:48), were isolated from urine. Among them, three metabolites (8, 9, and 14), possessing an asymmetric carbon atom in the molecule, were formed enantioselectively and five metabolites (7, 10, 11, 12, and 13) were formed regioselectively. The presumed metabolic pathways of 1-isopropylnaphthalene (1) in rabbits leading to these metabolites are discussed.

A new series of 1,2-naphthoquinone derivatives was synthesized by various synthetic methods and evaluated for their ability to inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). 1,2-Naphthoquinone derivatives with substituent at R(4) position showed submicromolar inhibitory activity, and compound 24 demonstrated 10- to 60-fold selectivity against the tested phosphatases. Also, several 4-aryl-1,2-naphthoquinone derivatives with substituents at R(3), R(6), R(7), or/and R(8) showed submicromolar inhibitory activity and good plasma stability.
