AC-16879 - phenanthrenequinone-95 | 84-11-7

<p>9,10-Phenanthrenequinon may be used for high quality passivation on silicon (100) surfaces. Quinones may serve as substrates for a variety of flavoenzymes, useful fluorescent compound and quinone. Also used in dyes, as a hardener for dental restoration, for the determination of copper by spectrophot</p>

9,10-Phenanthrenequinone

<p>Phenanthrenequinone is a redox potential inhibitor that binds to the catalytic site of the enzyme. It is an inhibitor with a redox potential of -0.4 V (vs Ag/AgCl). Phenanthrenequinone has been shown to be toxicologically safe in human serum and has no carcinogenic potential. The reaction mechanism is not well understood, but it may be due to hydrogen bonding interactions with the enzyme active site.</p>

<p>Applications 9,10-Phenanthrenequinone is used in the formation of spirophosphoranes containing acyclic 5-methyl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-diazaphosphol-4-yl substituent.<br>References Mironov, V. F., et al.: Russ. J. Electrochem., 88, 430-438 (2018)<br></p>

<p>9,10-Phenanthrenequinone is an inhibitor of claudin-5/CLDN5, which induces apoptosis via an NO synthase/ROS-dependent mechanism. It also promotes caspase activation and DNA fragmentation while reducing CLDN5 expression and proteasome proteolysis, contributing to endothelial barrier dysfunction.</p>
