Application
1,2-Naphthoquinone was employed as mediator during electrochemical mapping of redox activity in normal human breast (MCF-10A) cells by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM).
General description
1,2-Naphthoquinone is one of the major metabolite of naphthalene, which is responsible for the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity associated with it. 1,2-Naphthoquinone is an atmospheric contaminant. It causes the contraction of trachea smooth muscles in guinea pig through the activation of epidermal growth factor receptor. 1,2-Naphthoquinone has been reported as an environmental quinone in diesel exhaust particles (DEP) and atmospheric particulate matter.

Naphthalene-1,2-oxide (NPO), 1,2-naphthoquinone (1,2-NPQ) and 1,4-naphthoquinone (1,4-NPQ) are the major metabolites of naphthalene that are thought to be responsible for the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of this chemical. We measured cysteinyl adducts of these metabolites in hemoglobin (Hb) and albumin (Alb)

1,2-Naphthoquinone (1,2-NQ) has recently been identified as an environmental quinone in diesel exhaust particles (DEP) and atmospheric PM2.5. We have found that this quinone is capable of causing a concentration-dependent contraction of tracheal smooth muscle in guinea pigs with EC50

Toxicological studies have correlated inflammatory effects of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) with its organic constituents, such as the organic electrophile 1,2-naphthoquinone (1,2-NQ). To elucidate the mechanisms involved in 1,2-NQ-induced inflammatory responses, we examined the role of oxidant stress in 1,2-NQ-induced

Many cellular proteins with reactive thiols form covalent bonds with electrophiles, thereby modifying their structures and activities. Here, we describe the recovery of a glycolytic protein, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), from such an electrophilic attack by 1,2-napthoquinone (1,2-NQ). GAPDH readily formed
