Description

Acenaphthenequinone is a reactive chemical compound. This compound has been found to have strong biological properties, such as inhibiting the mitochondrial membrane potential in human cells and inducing apoptosis in mammalian cells. Acenaphthenequinone also has been shown to be effective against infectious diseases, including malaria. Acenaphthenequinone binds to the heme group of the parasite's electron transport protein cytochrome b, which leads to disruption of energy production and cellular death. Acenaphthenequinone is also able to inhibit the synthesis of DNA in bacteria.
