The present invention relates to novel naphthoquinones of formula (I):
wherein R³ is a C₁₋₃₅ non-aromatic hydrocarbon residue optionally substituted by one or more substituents selected from halo, C₁₋₆ alkoxy, hydroxy, phenyl, phenyl-C₁₋₆alkoxy and phenyl-C₁₋₆alkyl, each such phenyl group or mainly being optionally substituted by one or more groups selected from C₁₋₆ alkoxy, C₁₋₆ alkyl, C₁₋₆alkoxy-C₁₋₆alkyl, hydroxy, halogen, halo-C₁₋₆alkyl, amine and mono- or di-C₁₋₄alkyl-amino; and
either the dotted line represents a double bond between the 2 and 3 positions of the naphthyl ring, R¹ and R⁴ each represent =O, and R² represents a phosphate group
wherein R⁵ and R⁶ which may be the same or different, each represent a hydrogen atom or a C₁₋₆ alkyl group;
or the dotted line represents double bonds between the 1,2 and 3,4 positions of the naphthyl ring, and R¹, R² and R⁴ each represent a phosphate group
-OP(O)(OR⁵)(OR⁶)
(wherein R⁵ and R⁶ are as hereinbefore described) and physiologically acceptable salts thereof.
The compounds of formula (I) are useful in the treatment of parasitic infections.
