What is DECYLUBIQUINONE?

Description

Decylubiquinone (55486-00-5) inhibits the Ca2+?dependent mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) without inhibiting respiration.1?Maximum effect on Ca2+?retention capacity of rat liver mitochondria at 100 μM. Inhibits etoposide-induced apoptosis in in L929 cells at 5 μM via inhibition of cytochrome C release.2?Delays rotenone-induced cardiac dysfunction in a zebrafish model of development and cardiovascular function.3?Substrate for various quinone oxidoreductases.4,5

Definition

ChEBI: 6-decylubiquinone is a member of the class of 1,4-benzoquinones that is 2,3-dimethoxybenzoquinone which has been substituted at positions 5 and 6 by decyl and methyl groups. It has a role as a cofactor. It is functionally related to a 6-decylubiquinol.

General Description

Ubiquinone analog.
