Synthesis, Metabolism, and in Vitro Biological Activities of 6-(10-Hydroxydecyl)-2, 3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1, 4-benzoquinone (CV-2619)-Related Compounds

抄録

Demethyl dirivatives (3a and 3b) of 6(10-hydroxydecyl)-2, 3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1, 4-benzoquinone (1, CV-2619), demethyl derivative (4) of the metabolite 2-4, and compounds (13, 20, 21, 23a and 23b) in which the hydroxyalkyl chain of 1 is modified, were synthesized for metabolic studies and evaluation of their biological activities. In rats, 13 and trans-23a were metabolized more slowly than 1. These compounds, except for the demethyl derivatives (3a, 3b and 4), showed an electron tansfer effect comparable to that of 1 in the succinate oxidation system. Compounds 13 and 23b inhibited the lipid peroxidation of rat liver homogenate.
