Product Information
Name:3-Methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline
Brand:Biosynth
Description:3-Methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline (3MQ) is a chemical compound that has been shown to be an inhibitor of the enzyme cyclen. 3MQ binds to the active site of cyclen and blocks the binding of calcium ions, preventing the formation of calcium complexes with cyclen. This inhibition leads to a decrease in cyclen activity and an increase in the synthesis of protein. 3MQ has also been shown to be potent inhibitor against chloride ion currents through voltammetry experiments. It was found that its redox potential is very low, which suggests that it can be used as a probe for electron transfer reactions in cells. The photophysical properties of 3MQ have also been studied and it was found that this molecule absorbs light at wavelengths between 400–600 nm, which may lead to its use as a photosensitizer or photoantagonist for photodynamic therapy.
