experimental part, p. 4353 - 4355 (2011/08/05)
On the basis of the reported phytotoxic activity of sorgoleone and resorcinolic lipids identified from the root extracts of Sorghum bicolor, 8 resorcinolic lipid derivatives and 10 quinones with various side chain sizes were synthesized. The phytotoxicity of the compounds was tested against a monocot and a dicot species. The quinones were phytotoxic, whereas the resorcinolic lipids were not. Of the quinones, 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-3- pentylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione, having a five-carbon side chain, showed phytotoxic activity similar to that of natural compound sorgoleone.

Asterriquinone (ARQ, la) is an antitumor metabolite of Aspergillus terreus IFO 6123. To gain insight into the structure-activity relationships of ARQ, a series of chemically modified derivatives (1 - 6), the ARQ analogues (b - e) and the 2,5-dihydroxy-p-benzoquinone analogues (f - h), were prepared, and cytotoxic activity against mouse leukemia P388 cells investigated. Results indicated that: 1) at least one hydroxy group or acetoxy group in the p-benzoquinone moiety is important to exhibit cytotoxicity; 2) in the p-benzoquinone moiety, a single methoxy group and/or one acetoxy group substitution showed more potent cytotoxicity than when two hydroxy groups are substituted (1); 3) the indole ring is important for the cytotoxicity of ARQ analogues; 4) the 1,1-dimethyl-2-propenyl group in the indole ring is not important for the cytotoxic activity of ARQ.

2,5-Dihydroxybenzoquinones, when heated in water, react to form different types of compounds through dimerization. The features of this unique reaction were clarified using a model compund, 2,5-dihydroxy-3-methyl-benzoquinone. The structures of the products were established by X-ray analysis and spectroscopic means. - Key words: 2,5-dihydroxybenzoquinone; dimerization; furanylidene benzofuranone; 1,4-dibenzofurandione; X-ray analysis
