Virtual screening of the ChemDiversity and ChemBridge compound databases against dynamin I (dynI) GTPase activity identified 2,5-bis-(benzylamino)-1,4- benzoquinone 1 as a 273 ± 106 μM inhibitor. In silico lead optimization and focused library-led synthesis resulted in the development of four discrete benzoquinone/naphthoquinone based compound libraries comprising 54 compounds in total. Sixteen analogues were more potent than lead 1, with 2,5-bis-(4-hydroxyanilino)-1,4-benzoquinone (45) and 2,5-bis(4-carboxyanilino)- 1,4-benzoquinone (49) the most active with IC50 values of 11.1 ± 3.6 and 10.6 ± 1.6 μM respectively. Molecular modelling suggested a number of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions were involved in stabilization of 49 within the dynI GTP binding site. Six of the most active inhibitors were evaluated for potential inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). Quinone 45 was the most effective CME inhibitor with an IC50(CME) of 36 ± 16 μM.

The oxidative addition of anilines (2) with 1,4-naphthoquinone (3) to give N-aryl-2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones (1) was found to be catalyzed by copper(II) acetate. In the absence of the catalyst, the reactions are slower and give lower yields with the formation of many colateral products. In the presence of 10 mol % hydrated copper(II) acetate, the reactions are generally more efficient in that they are cleaner, higher yielding, and faster.
