For the novel, potent, and selective T-type Ca 2+ channel blockers, a series <strong>of</strong> 3, 4-<br />

dihydroquinazoline derivatives containing 1, 5-diaminopentane were prepared and evaluated for<br />

their blocking actions on T- and N-type Ca 2+ channels. As a result <strong>of</strong> the structure-activity<br />

relationship study, KYS05090 (IC 50 = 41 ± 1 nM) was found to be as potent as Kurtoxin. Herein,<br />

we will discuss the detailed SAR result <strong>of</strong> this series <strong>of</strong> compounds.<br />

A novel cyclolignanic quinone, 7-acetyl-3,4-didemethoxy-3,4-dioxopodophyllotoxin (CLQ)<br />

inhibits topoisomerase II (TOPO II) activity. The extent <strong>of</strong> this inhibition was greater than that<br />

produced by the etoposide quinone (EQ) or etoposide. Glutathione (GSH) reduces EQ and CLQ<br />

to their corresponding semiquinones under anaerobic conditions. The later were detected by<br />

EPR spectroscopy in the presence <strong>of</strong> MgCl2 but not in its absence. Semiquinone EPR spectra<br />

change with quinone/GSH mol ratio suggesting covalent binding <strong>of</strong> GSH to the quinones. These<br />

orthoquinones react with nucleophilic groups from BSA to bind covalently BSA under anaerobic<br />

conditions. Thiol consumption and BSA binding are enhanced by MgCl2. Complex formation<br />

between the parent quinones and Mg+2 were also observed. Theoretical calculations predict<br />

the observed blue-shifts in the absorption spectra peaks when the quinones are complexed to<br />

Mg+2 and large increases in the partial positive charge <strong>of</strong> electrophilic carbons at the quinone
