6956-96-3COC1=C(OC)C(=O)c2ccccc2C1=OZEGDFCCYTFPECB-UHFFFAOYSA-N2,3-dimethoxynaphthalene-1,4-dione is a naphthoquinone that is 1,4-naphthoquinone bearing two methoxy substituents at positions 2 and 3. Redox-cycling agent that induces intracellular superoxide anion formation and, depending on the concentration, induces cell proliferation, apoptosis or necrosis. Used to study the role of ROS in cell toxicity, apoptosis, and necrosis. It is functionally related to a 1,4-naphthoquinone.

DescriptionDMNQ is a 1,4-naphthoquinone that acts as a redox-cycling agent, typically increasing intracellular superoxide and hydrogen peroxide formation. The amount of oxidative stress is proportional to the amount of DMNQ applied and can alter diverse cellular parameters, including signal transduction, mitochondrial function, and gene expression.
Uses2,3-Dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone has been used to investigate the effects of ethanol on podocyte apoptosis under hypoxic and hyperoxic conditions.
UsesDMNQ is a non-alkylating redox cycling quinone.
