New pheophorbide-quinone derivatives with a different kind of quinone moieties were synthesized by mixed anhydride method. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by UV, IR, 1H NMR, fluorescence, and mass spectra. Effective fluorescence quenching of the pheophorbide chromophores in the synthesized molecules was observed depending on the electron-accepting properties of the quinone fragment and spatial disposition of the donor and acceptor. Electron-transfer rate constants were calculated based on fluorescence decay measurements. The role of energetic and conformational changes of pheophorbide-quinones in the electron-transfer processes is discussed.
CDC25 dual-specificity phosphatases are essential key regulators of eukaryotic cell cycle progression and the CDC25A and B isoforms are over-expressed in different tumors and related cancer cell lines. CDC25s are now considered to be interesting targets in the search for novel anticancer agents. We describe new compounds derived from vitamin K-3 that inhibit CDC25B activity with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. These naphthoquinone derivatives also display antiproliferative activity on HeLa cells as expected for CDC25 inhibitors and inhibit cell growth in a clonogenic assay at submicromolar concentrations. They increase inhibitory tyrosine 15 phosphorylation of CDK and induce the cleavage of PARP, a hallmark of apoptosis. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Some simplified adociaquinone B analogs and a series of 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives were synthesized and tested against the three enzymes Cdc25B, MKP-1, and MKP-3. Cdc25B and MKP-1 in particular are enzymes overexpressed in human cancer cells, and they represent potential molecular targets for novel cancer chemotherapeutic treatments. A number of analogs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against these enzymes, and the bioassay data in addition to structure-activity relationships of these compounds will be discussed.
