文摘

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鈥揳ctivity 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.
