Some 2- or 6-acyl-5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (DMNQ) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of DNA topoisomerase I and cytotoxicity against L1210 cells. Compared with 2-acyl-DMNQ derivatives, 6-acyl-DMNQ compounds, bearing a higher electrophilic quinone moiety, showed a higher potency in the inhibition of DNA topoisomerase I and the cytotoxicity, implying the possible participation
