New alkenyl-1,4-benzoquinones, ardisianones A (1) and B (2), and the known maesanin (3) as 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors have been isolated from the rhizome of Ardisia japonica. Their structures have been elucidated as 2-methoxy-6-[(Z)-10'-pentadecenyl]-1,4-benzoquinone and 5-hydroxy-2-methoxy-6-[(Z)-8'-tridecenyl]-1,4-benzoquinone, respectively, on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical degradation. Ardisianone A (1), maesanin (3) and belamcandol A (7) have been synthesized starting from belamcandol B (6), readily prepared by Wittig reaction between 9-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)nonanal and 3,5-dimethoxybenzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide followed by selective demethylation with sodium thioethoxide.

1,4-Benzoquinone derivatives and benzene derivatives having cerebral- and cardiac-blood flow improving activities and preventive activities of cerebral ischema with low toxicities, and thus are useful as activators for cardiac and cebral metabolisms, curing agents for heart failure, cardiac and cerebral blood flow improving agents, as well as anti-allergic agents for slow reacting allergy (IV-type allergy).
