As a continuation of studies using natural and synthetic products as cancer chemopreventive agents, we examined the reduction-oxidation potentials of hydroxylated emodin derivatives prepared from emodin in phosphate buffer at pH 7.2 using cyclic voltammetry. A significant correlation was found between the reduction potentials and number of the hydroxyl groups and the inhibitory effects of the hydroxylated emodin derivatives on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen activation. The electronic properties, i.e. LUMO energy and atomic charges of carbon at the 9-position (C-9) and oxygen at the 11-position (O-11), may also be useful for estimating the inhibitory effect on EBV-EA activation.
