    SYNTHESIS OF GERANYLHYDROQUINONE DERIVATIVES WITH POTENCIAL CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITY
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2012) Baeza, Evelyn; Catalan, karen; Peña-Cortes, Hugo; Espinoza, Luis
    Natural geranylhydroquinone 1 and geranyl-p-methoxyphenol 2 were prepared by Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) reactions between geraniol and 1,4-hydroquinone or p-methoxyphenol respectively, using BF3∙Et2O as a catalyst. Furthermore, natural geranylquinone 3, geranyl-1,4-dimethoxyquinone 4 and the new geranyl-4-methoxyphenyl acetate 5 were obtained by chemical transformations of 1 and 2. The compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity activities against cultured human cancer cells of PC-3 human prostate cancer, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma, and Dermal Human Fibroblasts DHF. IC50 values were in the µM range.
