Abstract

We investigated the cytotoxic activity of 2-substituted naphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-diones. We have previously synthesized 33 types of 2-substituted and related compounds, and the cytotoxic activity of these compounds was then examined by a KB cell culture assay. 2-(3-Furanoyl)benzoic acids and 1,4-naphthoquinones had no activity. 2-Acetyl-4,9-dimethoxynaphtho[2,3-b]furan 4 showed low activity. However, parent naphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-dione 2 and most 2-substituted derivatives exhibited cytotoxic activity. The parent structure was therefore for cytotoxicity. 2-Formylnaphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-dione 11 had particularly potent activity (ED50=0.09 μg/ml).
