Bulk inquiry Welcome, Customer: Please do not inquire quote if your intended use is for a patient since our products are for research use and for chemical synthesis use, not for human use . For in-stock products, we listed price in the web page. You may inquire prices for which sizes were not listed. If no price is listed, this means the product is not in stock at the moment, which may be available via custom synthesis. For cost-effective reason, minimum order of 1g is requested (typically very expensive). The lead time is usually 2-4 months. Quote of less than 1g will not be provided. MedKoo may not offer quote for below reasons: (1) current available synthetic method appears to be extremely expensive which is obviously not affordable to most customers; (2) Key raw material to make the product is temporally not available; (3) DEA controlled substances; (4) the product is under patent protection in customer’s country.

Biological target:	DMNQ is a redox cycling agent that generates both superoxide and hydrogen peroxide.
In vitro activity:	DMNQ decreased monocyte ATP-linked respiration, maximal respiration, and reserve capacity and caused an increase in proton leak and non-mitochondrial respiration compared to monocytes not treated with DMNQ. These data suggest that monocytes are susceptible to oxidative stress mediated by DMNQ and this can be accurately assessed by the BHI (Bioenergetic Health Index). Reference: Redox Biol. 2016 Aug;8:43-50. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26748041/
In vivo activity:	Furthermore, i.p. administration of DMNQ S-52 at 5 mg/kg resulted in a potent inhibition of the growth of LLC cells implanted on the right flank of C57BL/6 mice compared to untreated control. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the decreased tumor cell proliferation and increased tumor cell apoptosis in DMNQ S-52 treated tumor sections using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling (TUNEL) and proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Taken together, these findings demonstrate that DMNQ S-52 may exhibit anti-tumor activity by inducing apoptosis via caspases and mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase-dependent pathways.
