Obtusaquinone

Obtusaquinone is a blood-brain barrier-permeable Keap1 inhibitor with anticancer activity. Obtusaquinone covalently binds to cysteine residues of Keap1, promotes its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, and activates the Nrf2 pathway. Obtusaquinone induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and DNA damage through abnormal accumulation of ROS, and triggers apoptosis of cancer cells. Obtusaquinone prolongs survival in orthotopic xenograft models of pediatric high-grade glioma, and exhibits antitumor activity in glioblastoma and breast cancer models. Obtusaquinone can be used in studies related to glioma and breast cancer.

Obtusaquinone (OBT) acts as an effective cysteine-alkylating reagent on bovine catalase, with binding reversibility dependent on the specific cysteine residue context^[2].

Obtusaquinone (2 μM; 6 h) induces ubiquitination of Keap1 in 293T cells expressing HA-Keap1, which is enhanced by proteasome inhibition with MG132^[2].
Obtusaquinone (0.5-2 μM; 4 days) has significantly reduced cytotoxicity in U87 glioma cells with stable Keap1 knockdown compared to control cells after 4 days of incubation^[2].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
