Conocurvone, a novel natural product isolated from the endemic Australian shrub Conosperum sp. (Proteaceae), exhibits anti-HIV activity but is a highly lipophilic compound, which suggests that there may be problems with its aqueous solubility and bioavailability. A general and convenient synthesis of trimeric naphthoquinones using the condensation of 2-hydroxynaphthoquinones and 2,3-dihaloquinones is described. The application of this method to the synthesis of a series of simpler and less lipophilic trimeric naphthoquinone simple analogues of conocurvone is also reported together with their anti-HIV activity.
Improved methods have been devised for the isolation of (+)-conocurvone (1) from the roots of Conospermum brachyphyllum Lindl. and for its synthesis. The isolation of (R)-(+)-9-hydroxy-3-(4′-hydroxy-4′-methylpentan-1′-yl)-3,8-dimethyl-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-7,10-dione [(+)-brachyphyllone] (2), a minor constituent of this species, its structural elucidation and partial synthesis are also described. 8-C-Methylteretifolione-B (9) and 8-C-methyl-9-O-methylteretifolione-B (10), as well as the previously isolated (+)-teretifolione-B (8), also occur in this plant.
