Deoxynyboquinone
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Deoxynyboquinone, an excellent NQO1 substrate, is a potent antineoplastic agent. Deoxynyboquinone induces apoptosis in cancer cell lines. Deoxynyboquinone kills cancer cells through oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation.

Deoxynyboquinone (DNQ; 72h) potently induces the death of cancer cells (SK-MEL-5, MCF-7, HL-60, HL-60/ADR) in culture, with IC50 values between 16 and 210 nM[2].
Deoxynyboquinone is still able to induce cancer cell death under hypoxic conditions (HeLa cell; IC50: 5.1 μM)[2].
Deoxynyboquinone (group B1; 0.5 μM; 3, 6, 24 hours) potently induces apoptosis in cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HL-60) through cytochrome c release[3].
