Tetrahydroxyquinone

Catalog No.: A30850
Apoptosis Inducer
Tetrahydroxyquinone, a redox-active benzoquinone, primarily induces apoptosis through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). By participating in a redox cycle with semiquinone radicals, Tetrahydroxyquinone enhances oxidative stress within cells, making it a valuable tool for studying cellular mechanisms related to cell death and oxidative damage. Its ability to trigger apoptotic pathways positions it as a relevant compound for research in cancer biology and oxidative stress-related studies.
