Descrição

2-Methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone is an additive that is used in the production of dyes and other chemicals. It has been shown to be toxic to murine hepatoma cells at high concentrations. The redox potentials of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone are reported to be -0.22 V (vs Hg/HgO) and +0.27 V (vs Na/NaSO). 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone also possesses affinity for cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics. 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone is an effective reducing agent that can reduce menadione and vitamin K3 to the corresponding quinones; it also catalyzes transfer reactions with diphosphate (-P(=O)(OH)) as a substrate
