摘要

To investigate the impact of C3-methyl substitution of naphtho[1,2-b]furan-4,5-dione analogs on antitumor efficacy, 16 NQO1 substrate analogs of C3-methylated (TC1–TC8) and C3-demethylated (TC1–TC8′) were synthesized. The anticancer activities against K562, LNCaP, HeLa, and MDA-MB-231 suggested that methyl and demethyl derivatives of naphtho[1,2-b]furan-4,5-dione analogs have comparable cytotoxicity and this value depends more on the nature of the substituent at position C-2.
