Biological Activity
NDH-2[2]
HQNO is a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial type II NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (NDH-2) in many species, including Yarrowia lipolytica, S. cerevisiae, Gluconobacter oxydans, T. gondii, P. falciparum, and S. aureus. HQNO targets the Q-site of NDH-2[2].
HQNO concentrations are varied from 0 to 100 μM and 0 to 300 μM for wild-type (WT) and I379E C. thermarum NDH-2 variant, respectively to determine IC50 values. WT NDH-2 has an IC50 value of 10.5±1.3 μM HQNO in the presence of 400 μM Menadione (MD). In the presence of 50 μM MD, the IC50 value for HQNO decreases slightly to 7.3±1.2 μM and near complete inhibition (~15% residual activity) is observed with >50 μM HQNO. At 50 μM MD, HQNO inhibition is observed with an IC50 value of 54.3±1.2 μM[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 5 mg/mL (19.28 mM; ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: 0.5 mg/mL (1.93 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
