Naphthofuroquinone derivatives: Inhibition of receptor tyrosine kinases

A series of dinaphtho[1,2-b;2′,3′-d]furan-7,12-dione derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activities against receptor tyrosine kinases. The naphthofuroquinone compounds with dialkylaminoethoxy group at C(5)-position (7, 8, 10, and 11) manifested strong inhibitory activities against epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor. Docking study of 11 with EGFR was also performed.
