萘醌已被研究作为神经退行性疾病的潜在治疗分子,这主要是基于它们的抗氧化潜力。然而,萘醌衍生物的多效保护作用的理论框架在很大程度上缺失。我们合成了一个新型短链 2,3-二取代萘醌衍生物库,并测量了它们的氧化还原特性,以确定与它们的生物活性的潜在联系。使用具有不同还原潜力的两种细胞系,测试了这些化合物的固有毒性、ATP 水平的急性拯救和细胞保护活性。首次建立了萘醌的构效关系。我们的结果清楚地表明,决定单个化合物的细胞保护程度的是烷基侧链上的基团,而不仅仅是萘醌单元的氧化还原特性或亲脂性。由此,我们开发了许多含有酰胺的萘醌,与临床使用的苯醌艾地苯醌相比,它们在 ATP 拯救和细胞活力模型中具有更高的活性。
