TL;DR: Of the compounds tested in vitro for inhibition of RNA-dependent DNA polymerase and in mice infected with Rauscher leukemia, all retained good enzyme activity and only the 2-methyl-2-phenyl derivative 10e proved to be about as potent as the 2,2-dimethyl reference compound 10a in prolonging the mean survival time of mice with RaUScher leukemia virus induced leukemia.
Abstract: In order to find a 3,4-dihydro-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-5,6-dione more potent than the naturally occurring 2,2-dimethyl derivative [beta-lapachone (10a)], we synthesized a series of analogous compounds with modifications at position 2 of the pyran ring or at positions 8 and 9 of the benzene ring. Of the compounds tested in vitro for inhibition of RNA-dependent DNA polymerase and in mice infected with Rauscher leukemia, all retained good enzyme activity. Inhibition of the reverse transcriptase activity of the 2,2-substituted derivatives 10b-e was as strong as 10a. However, only the 2-methyl-2-phenyl derivative 10e proved to be about as potent as the 2,2-dimethyl reference compound 10a in prolonging the mean survival time of mice with Rauscher leukemia virus induced leukemia.

TL;DR: Biological testing in five models of pain shows that compound 1 and morphine are equally potent as analgesics and demonstrates that the pyran ring of HHC is not necessary for biological activity.
Abstract: The synthesis and analgesic testing of 3-[4-(1,1-dimethylheptyl)-2-hydroxyphenyl]cyclohexanol (1) are described. Prior (SAR) studies led us to conclude that the pyran ring of 9-nor-9 beta-hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol (HHC) was not necessary for the expression of biological activity in this series of cannabinoids. Analysis of models and the use of molecular mechanics calculations suggested that a simpler compound, such as 1, would possess the biological activity of HHC. Compound 1 was prepared in nine steps from [3-(benzyloxy)phenyl]acetonitrile (2). Biological testing in five models of pain shows that compound 1 and morphine are equally potent as analgesics and demonstrates that the pyran ring of HHC is not necessary for biological activity. Further simplification of 1 was pursued by the synthesis of 4-[4-(1,1-dimethylheptyl)-2-hydroxyphenyl]-2-pentanol (17), but this derivative exhibits significantly reduced analgesic activity.

Abstract: The reaction of various types of acetyl compounds with a ketene dithioacetal, methyl 2-cyano-3, 3-bis (methylthio) acrylate, in the presence of potassium hydroxide gave the corresponding 6-aryl-and 6-styryl-3-cyano-4-methylthio-2H-pyran-2-one derivatives. The methylthio group on the pyrone ring reacted readily with nucleophiles such as amines, active methylene compounds and methoxy anion to yield the corresponding displacement products in good yields.

TL;DR: In this paper, simple benzopyrans with a fused γ-lactone unit were prepared from an o-disubstituted arene by direct intramolecular alkoxycarbonylation/lactonization promoted by palladium diacetate; the process gives high yields and moderate stereoselectivity, favoring the cis lactone over trans by a factor of 5:1.

TL;DR: In this article, the same base and solvent, but in air, afforded a mixture comprising its cis-epimer (42), together with the two possible 4-hydroxy derivatives, namely (35) and (38).
Abstract: Treatment of 3-(1-hydroxyethyl)-1,4,5,7-tetrarmethoxy-2-prop-2-enylnaphthalene (33) with potassium t-butoxide in dimethylformamide under nitrogen for a short time gave a high yield of trans-3,4-dihydro-5,7,9,10-tetramethoxy-1,3-dimethyl-1H-naphtho[2,3-c]pyran (41). This compound, with the same base and solvent, but in air, afforded a mixture comprising its cis-epimer (42), together with the two possible 4-hydroxy derivatives, namely (35) and (38). Silver(II) oxide oxidation of compounds (35), (38), (41), and (42) gave, respectively, the dimethyl ethers of quinone A, quinone A′, and deoxyquinone A, and also 7-methoxyeleutherin.

TL;DR: The protection of pyran copolymer pretreated mice from infection with C. neoformans, but the absence of significant killing of encapsulated yeast in vitro suggest a complex mechanism of host defense which may involve an activation of the reticuloendothelial system by pyra-copolymer.
Abstract: Synthetic polyanions have been shown to alter host resistance to infection. The anticryptococcal effect of pyran copolymer was assessed in vivo and in vitro. Pretreatment with pyran copolymer significantly extended mean survival in mice lethally infected with Cryptococcus neoformans when compared to untreated animals (p less than 0.01). The anticryptococcal effect of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) elicited by 10% thioglycollate or pyran copolymer (25 mg/kg) was assessed in vitro. Initial percent phagocytosis of both encapsulated and non-encapsulated isolates of C. neoformans was greatest in the pyran elicited PEC. Significant killing of C. neoformans in vitro was observed only in pyran-activated PEC cultures combined with non-encapsulated cells of C. neoformans, although pyran PEC did inhibit initial growth of phagocytized encapsulated yeast cells. The protection of pyran copolymer pretreated mice from infection with C. neoformans, but the absence of significant killing of encapsulated yeast in vitro suggest a complex mechanism of host defense which may involve an activation of the reticuloendothelial system by pyran copolymer.

Journal Article
TL;DR: This paper describes the synthesis of 6-carboxy derivatives of 6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran, which showed very high hypolipidemic activity being 12 times more potent than clofibrate in reducing plasma cholesterol concentration in the hypercholesterolemic rat.
Abstract: This paper describes the synthesis of 6-carboxy derivatives of 6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran. These compounds are among the most rigid structures related to clofibrate ever synthesized, which means they have very few possible conformations of relative stability compared with the many for clofibrate. Compound 6H-2-chloro-6-methyl-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-6-carboxylic acid 3g showed very high hypolipidemic activity being 12 times more potent than clofibrate in reducing plasma cholesterol concentration in the hypercholesterolemic rat and 11 times more potent in reducing plasma triglyceride concentration in the normolipemic rat.

TL;DR: In this article, the loss of CH3˙ from the molecular ions of cyclohexene oxide and 5,6-dihydro-4-methyl-2H-pyran has been investigated.
Abstract: The loss of CH3˙ from the molecular ions of cyclohexene oxide and 5,6-dihydro-4-methyl-2H-pyran has been investigated. On the basis of metastable peak shape analysis, collision-induced dissociation/mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectra and thermochemical data it is concluded that the same [C5H7O]+ ion is formed in both cases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative configurations of the threo and erythro isomers of 2-nitro-1-phenylpropane-1,3-diol (the starting materials) were determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
Abstract: Nitro-substituted 1,3-dioxanes and pyrans with potential biological activity were synthesized. The relative configurations of the threo and erythro isomers of 2-nitro-1-phenylpropane-1,3-diol (the starting materials) and of 5-nitro-2,4-diphenyl-1,3-dioxane, the products formed with benzaldehyde, were determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Cinnamaldehyde and nitroethanol give a homologue of nitrophenylpropanediol, which exists as a mixture of two diastereomeric cyclic hemiacetals. After dissolving in CDCl3, the ratio of these components changes from approximately 10:1 to 3:2 in a few days. The ethyl acetal of the hemiacetal is stereohomogeneous, and the ethoxy group is axial to the pyran ring owing to the anomeric effect. This configuration was proved by two-dimensional NMR measurement, permitting separate observation of the originally overlapping multiplets and direct reading of the H,H coupling constants.
