Synthesis and inhibitory evaluation of cyclohexen-2-yl- and cyclohexyl-substituted phenols and quinones to endothelial cell and cancer cells
摘要:
Alkylanon of phenols with 1,3-cyclohexadiene (1) has been conducted and a series of cyclohexen-2-yl- and cyclohexyl-substituted phenols and quinones were screened against the proliferation of HUVEC and cancer cells. Phenol type as well as the size and occupied position of the substitute are important for the alkylating reaction and the inhibitory activity and selectivity of a compound. 2,5-Di(cyclohexen-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diol (25) bearing two cyclohexen-2-yl groups and 2-tert-butyl-5-(cyclohexen-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diol (30) bearing cyclohexen-2-yl and tert-butyl groups exhibited good selectivity against HUVEC pioliferation (IC(50)s of 2 0 and 1 4 mu M, respectively) with relatively low toxicity to ccc-HPF-1.

Allylation and benzylation of p‐quinones was achieved through an unusual redox chain reaction. Mechanistic studies suggest that the existence of trace hydroquinone initiates a redox chain reaction that consists of a Lewis acid catalyzed Friedel–Crafts alkylation and a subsequent redox equilibrium that regenerates hydroquinone. The electrophiles could be various allylic and benzylic esters. The addition
