Popis: Nafuredin-γ (2), converted from nafuredin (1) under mild basic conditions, demonstrates potent and selective inhibitory activity against helminth complex I. However, 2 is unstable in air because the conjugated dienes are oxygen-labile. To address this, we designed and synthesized air-stable nafuredin-γ analogs. Although the complex I inhibitory activities of all the new nafuredin-γ analogs were lower than that of 2, all were in the high nM range (IC50: 300–820 nM).
