A selection of novel 2-hydroxy-3-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinones are shown to be potent inhibitors of rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) and to have highest potency with alkyl substitution at both C-6 and C-7. The most potent compounds were 7c and 7e which produced a 50% inhibition in the rat PCA test at doses of about 10 μM/kg following subcutaneous administration and showed activity after oral administration. Related 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-2(1H)-naphthalenones had no effect on rat PCA in doses up to 500 μM/kg.

Substituted naphthoquinones of the formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 represent alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, hydroxy, hydrogen or halogen or any two of the groups R1, R2, R3 and R4 taken together complete a carbocyclic ring, have useful anti-allergy activity in mammals.
