2-Arylmethyl-1,4-benzoquinones. I. Novel inhibitors of platelet aggregation: synthesis and pharmacological evaluation

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 1996 Jan;44(1):139-44. doi: 10.1248/cpb.44.139.

Abstract

A new series of 2-arylmethyl-1,4-benzoquinones (2) was synthesized for evaluation of their pharmacological activities. These compounds showed significant inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid (AA) and some of them possessed a protective effect against endothelial cell injury caused by hydrogen peroxide.
