Avicequinone C (5a), a furanonaphthoquinone isolated from the Thai mangrove Avicennia marina has been shown previously to have interesting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 inhibitory activity. In this study, a series of avicequinone C analogues containing furanonaphthoquinone with different degrees of saturation and substituents at the furan ring were synthesized. The resulting synthetic avicequinone C and analogues (5a-f) along with some related compounds including 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (6) and natural naphthoquinones such as lawsone (7a) and lapachol (7b) were evaluated for their in vitro cell viability and steroid 5α-reductase type 1 inhibitory activities using the cultured cell line of human keratinocytes (HaCaT). This cell-based bioassay was performed based on a direct detection of the enzymatic product dihydrotestosterone (2) by using a non-radioactive high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method. Among the furanonaphthoquinones in this series, 5e having a propionic substituent at furan ring possessed approximately 22-fold more potent than the original isolated compound 5a. However, the compounds without furan motif such as 6, 7a and b could not inhibit the activity of steroid 5α-reductase. Molecular docking results of the in silico three-dimensional steroid 5α-reductase type 1-reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) binary complex was performed via AutoDock Vina and it illustrated that the furanonaphthoquinone moiety and the substituent at furan ring might play a key role as pharmacophores for the steroid 5α-reductase inhibitory activity.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease with high incidence and mortality, constituting the fourth most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Naphthoquinones are attractive compounds due to their biological and structural properties. In this work, 36 naphthoquinone derivatives were synthesized and their activity evaluated against HT-29 cells. Overall, high to moderate anti-proliferative activity was observed in most members of the series, with 15 compounds classified as active (1.73 50 2 = 0.99 and q2 = 0.625). This model allowed proposing five new compounds with two-fold higher theoretical anti-proliferative activity, which would be worthwhile to synthesize and evaluate. Further investigations will be needed to determine the mechanism involved in the effect of most active compounds which are potential candidates for new anticancer agents.

An efficient transformation of 2-(5-hydroxy-1-pentynyl)benzonitriles 5 to furanonaphthoquinones 11 is presented. Treatment of 5 with 1.5 equiv of NaOMe in DMSO at 140 °C for 0.5 h gave 6 in good yields. Conversion of 6 to 11 was carried out by oxidation of 6 with Fremy's salt and KH2PO4 in acetone and water, followed by dehydrogenation using palladium on charcoal in diphenylether at reflux temperature.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of lapacho analogues. 1. Suppression of human keratinocyte hyperproliferation by 2-substituted naphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-diones, activation by enzymatic one- and two-electron reduction, and intracellular generation of superoxide

A series of linearly anellated lapacho quinone analogues substituted at the 2-position of the tricyclic naphtho-[2,3-b]furan-4,9-dione system were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to suppress keratinocyte hyperproliferation using HaCaT cells as the primary test system. While very good in vitro potency with IC50 values in the submicromolar range was attained with electron-withdrawing substituents, some compounds were found to induce plasma membrane damage, as evidenced by the release of LDH activity from cytoplasm of the keratinocytes. The most potent analogue against keratinocyte hyperproliferation was the 1,2,4-oxadiazole 18, the potency of which was combined with comparably low cytotoxic membrane damaging effects. Structure-activity relationship studies with either metabolically stable or labile analogues revealed that the quinone moiety was required for activity. Selected compounds were studied in detail for their capability to generate superoxide radicals both in isolated enzymatic one- and two-electron reduction assays as well as in a HaCaT cell-based assay.
