Abstract

The present invention relates to cannabinoic quinone compounds, and especially to their medical use. In particular five cannabinoic quinones, designated HU-331, HU-336, HU-345, HU-395 and HU-396, are described as active agents in pharmaceutical compositions. These compounds and compositions thereof are intended for the treatment of inflammatory, infectious, auto-immune and particularly hyperproliferative disorders. Thus, the compounds of the invention may be used as anti-tumor agents, or for the treatment of cancer. Furthermore, three of these compounds, HU-345, HU-395 and HU-396, are novel cannabinoic quinones.
