Based on the “2‐phenyinaphthalene‐type” structural pattern hypothesis, a number of heterocycle‐fused anthraquinones were designed by taking morindaparvin‐A ( 2a ) as the lead structure. The compounds we synthesized and tested for antineoplastic activity include 1,2‐alkylenedioxyanthraquinone, naphtho [2,3‐ f ]‐quinoxaline‐7,12‐dione, anthra[1,2‐ d ]imidazole‐6,11‐dione and naphtho[2,3‐ f ]quinoxaline‐7,12‐dione derivatives. Most of the synthesized anthraquinones possessed various degrees of anticancer activity. One of these compounds, 2‐chloromethyl‐1 H ‐anthra[1,2‐ d ]imidazole‐6,11‐dione ( 4b ), exhibited cytotoxic activity against all tested human carcinoma cell lines.
