Seriniquinone, a marine natural product, displayed potent cytotoxicity and selectivity against melanoma cancer cells. This selectivity, combined with a novel mode of action (MOA), prompted studies to translate a pharmacologically relevant lead. Herein, we report on structure-activity relationships (SARs), and provide a strategy to prepare analogues that retain activity and offer an improved water solubility and isomeric purity. From intermediates made on a gram-scale, derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their antiproliferation activity and melanoma selectivity. Overall these studies provide methods to install side chain motifs that demonstrate a common, and yet unique, biological profile.
Methylation of 3,3'-Dihydroxylated 2,2'-Binaphtho-1,4;1',4'-quinones

Monomeric hydroxy-p-quinones (1) are in equilibrium with the corresponding o-quinones (2) and on methylation, a mixture of both isomeric ethers is obtained.In contrast, dimeric hydroxynaphthoquinones with 3a-skeleton in treatment with diazomethane are yie
