General description

6,7-Dimethoxy-1-tetralone reacts with 2-amino-4,5-dimethoxyacetophenone to form 5,6-dihydro-2,3,9,10-tetramethoxybenz[c]acridine.

Application

6,7-Dimethoxy-1-tetralone was used in the synthesis of 2-bromotetralones by undergoing bromination. It was also used as a precursor to quinolines with dopaminergic activity, naphthols with anti-inflammatory activity and benzophenanthridine alkaloids with antitumor activity.

The synthesis, biological evaluation, and structure-activity relationships of a series of 1-naphthols bearing carbon substituents at the 2-position are described. These compounds are potent inhibitors of the 5-lipoxygenase from RBL-1 cells and also inhibit bovine seminal vesicle cyclooxygenase. Structure-activity relationships

Several 2-aminotetralones were identified as novel inhibitors of the bacterial enzymes MurA and MurZ. A number of these inhibitors demonstrated antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with MICs in the range 8-128 microg/ml. Based on structure-activity relationships we

A series of 2-substituted octahydrobenzo[f]quinolines has been synthesized and assayed for dopamine agonist activity. Only the compounds corresponding to the beta-rotameric conformation of dopamine showed biphasic activity in competition binding studies with the radioligand [3H]spiroperidol. These findings suggest that the

Coralyne and several other synthetic benzo[a,g]quinolizium derivatives related to protoberberine alkaloids have exhibited activity as topoisomerase poisons. These compounds are characterized by the presence of a positively charged iminium group, which has been postulated to be associated with their pharmacological
