Synthesis and antiallergic activity of 2-hydroxy-3-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinones. 1977

D R Buckle, and B C Cantello, and H Smith, and R J Smith, and B A Spicer

A selection of novel 2-hydroxy-3-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinones are shown to be potent inhibitors of rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) and to have highest potency with alkyl substitution at both C-6 and C-7. The most potent compounds were 7c and 7e which produced a 50% inhibition in the rat PCA test at doses of about 10 micrometerM/kg following subcutaneous administration and showed activity after oral administration. Related 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-2(1H)-naphthalenones had no effect on rat PCA in doses up to 500 micrometerM/kg.

D008297 Male Males
D009285 Naphthoquinones Naphthalene rings which contain two ketone moieties in any position. They can be substituted in any position except at the ketone groups. Naphthalenediones,Naphthazarins,Naphthoquinone
D010323 Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis An evanescent cutaneous reaction occurring when antibody is injected into a local area on the skin and antigen is subsequently injected intravenously along with a dye. The dye makes the rapidly occurring capillary dilatation and increased vascular permeability readily visible by leakage into the reaction site. PCA is a sensitive reaction for detecting very small quantities of antibodies and is also a method for studying the mechanisms of immediate hypersensitivity.

D003864 Depression, Chemical The decrease in a measurable parameter of a PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS, including cellular, microbial, and plant; immunological, cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, urinary, digestive, neural, musculoskeletal, ocular, and skin physiological processes; or METABOLIC PROCESS, including enzymatic and other pharmacological processes, by a drug or other chemical. Chemical Depression,Chemical Depressions,Depressions, Chemical
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
