Preparation and pharmacological evaluation of 1-(1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenes as potent cerebral protective agents

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 1996 Jan;44(1):132-8. doi: 10.1248/cpb.44.132.

Abstract

Two new series of 1-(1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenes (3,4) were synthesized for evaluation of their pharmacological activities. These compounds showed significant anti-lipid peroxidation (ALP) activities with rat brain homogenate and some of them possessed a protective effect against hypobaric hypoxia in mice.
