Tetrahydroxyquinone

CAS: 319-89-1

Tetrahydroxyquinone is a hexaketocyclohexane octahydrate that inhibits mitochondrial function and inhibits the production of ATP. It has been shown to be a potent pharmacological agent in sublethal doses, which inhibit cellular physiology at the level of redox cycle. Tetrahydroxyquinone also has an antioxidative effect by acting as a reductant and regenerating other antioxidants such as glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E. It is used to treat autoimmune diseases because it can suppress the production of autoantibodies and promote the production of anti-inflammatory substances. Tetrahydroxyquinone is also able to inhibit lipid peroxidation and scavenge free radicals by reacting with hydrogen fluoride (HF) or sodium citrate.
