Description

Quinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dione is a potent and selective inhibitor of aldehyde oxidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of aldehydes. This inhibitor has been shown to protect neuronal function in rat models. Quinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dione has also been shown to have antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria by inducing Ca2+ overload and inhibiting protein synthesis. In addition, this compound is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The compounds are active substances in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy as they are capable of enhancing the Raman signal when bound to a metal surface. A diethyl ester derivative was synthesized with selenium atoms replacing the carbonyl groups on the ring structure and was found to be more efficient than its parent compound in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
