Description

2,6-Dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme activities of xanthine dehydrogenase, xanthine oxidase, and phosphofructokinase. It also has genotoxic effects in vitro and in vivo. The optimum concentration of 2,6-Dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone for inhibition of these enzymes is 0.5 mM. This compound can be detected with an analytical method that uses kinetic data to determine the inhibition constant (Ki). 2,6-Dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone irreversibly inhibits fatty acid oxidation by binding to the active site of the enzyme acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase. Toxicological studies show that exposure to light can lead to skin irritation or photosensitivity in humans and animals. Studies have shown that this chemical can inhibit proteases such as trypsin and chymotrypsin in
