The present invention provides novel tricyclic spiro-oxathiine naphthoquinone derivatives, a synthetic method for making the derivatives, and the use of the derivatives to induce cell death and/or to inhibit proliferation of cancer or precancerous cells. The naphthoquinone derivatives of the present invention are related to the compound known as β-lapachone (3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-naphtho(1,2-b)pyran-5,6-dione).
本发明提供了新型三环螺环氧硫噻吩萘醌衍生物、制备该衍生物的合成方法以及使用该衍生物诱导细胞死亡和/或抑制癌症或癌前细胞增殖。本发明的萘醌衍生物与已知的β-萘醌化合物(3,4-二氢-2,2-二甲基-2H-萘(1,2-b)吡喃-5,6-二酮)相关。
