16382174 Slupe A, Williams B, Larson C, Lee LM, Primbs T, Bruesch AJ, Bjorklund C, Warner DL, Peloquin J, Shadle SE, Gambliel HA, Cusack BJ, Olson RD, Charlier HA Jr: Reduction of 13-deoxydoxorubicin and daunorubicinol anthraquinones by human carbonyl reductase. Cardiovasc Toxicol. 2005 Fall;5(4):365-76.

Steady-state kinetic studies were done with several anthraquinone-containing compounds, including 13-deoxydoxorubicin and daunorubicinol, which lack the C13 carbonyl, thus unmasking the anthraquinone for study. k (cat) and k (cat)/K (m) values for 13-deoxydoxorubicin and daunorubicinol were nearly identical, indicating that that the efficiency of quinone reduction was unaffected by the differences at the C13 position. k (cat) and k (cat)/K (m) values were much smaller for the analogs than for the parent compounds, suggesting that the C13 carbonyl is preferred as a substrate over the quinone.

Extracts from entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Hypocrella (7 species) and its anamorph Aschersonia (11 species) were screened for cytotoxicity to Sf9 and C6/36 insect cells and L929, BHK (21) C13 and HepG2 mammalian cells.
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the cell extract of the fungus A. samoensis BCC 1393 led to the identification of two known anthraquinone dimers, (+) rugulosin (1) and skyrin (2) which showed selective toxicity towards insect cells. (+) Rugulosin (1) and skyrin (2) exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against the insect cell line Sf9 with respective ID50 values of 1.2 and 9.6 microg ml (-1), but showed weak activity toward mammalian cells.
