Coumarin-quinone conjugate is a fluorescent substrate for NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductases.1It is comprised of a coumarin fluorophore conjugated to a ubiquinone analog that can be reduced by NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductases. It has been used to measure the kinetic parameters of apoptosis-inducing factor mitochondria-associated 2/ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (AIFM2/FSP1). 1.Doll, S., Freitas, F.P., Shah, R., et al.FSP1 is a glutathione-independent ferroptosis suppressorNature575(7784)693-698(2019)
Ellipticine quinone, also known as NSC-383230, is a Drp1 inhibitor. rpitor1 and Drpitor1a inhibited the GTPase activity of Drp1 without inhibiting the GTPase of dynamin 1. Ellipticine quinone showed greater potency than the current std. Drp1 GTPase inhibitor, mdivi-1, (IC50 for mitochondrial fragmentation are (0.06, and 10 μM, resp.). Ellipticine quinone suppressed lung cancer tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model. Ellipticine quinone also inhibited mitochondrial ROS prodn., prevented mitochondrial fission, and improved right ventricular diastolic dysfunction during IR injury.
Vatiquinone, also known as EPI 743, is an orally bioavailable para-benzoquinone being developed for inherited mitochondrial diseases. The mechanism of action of EPI-743 involves augmenting the synthesis of glutathione, optimizing metabolic control, enhanc
Cannabidiol hydroxyquinone (HU-331) is potentially an active metabolite of cannabidiol that could play a role in inducing apoptosis. It functions by inhibiting the ATPase activity of topoisomerase IIα through a noncompetitive mechanism.
CBGAQ, an analytical reference standard, is an oxidative quinone derivative of cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), designed for research and forensic applications.
