Abstract

The amino-epoxyquinols 6a and 6b were synthesized as soluble derivatives of an NF-κB inhibitor DHMEQ (1). In spite of the opposite configuration from 1, 6b rather than 6a affected the deactivation of NF-κB, based on NO secretion and MALDI-TOF MS analysis. It was indicated that 6b inhibited the activation by different manner from that of 1.
