1 A series of heterocyclic quinones based on benzofuran, benzothiophene, indazole and benzisoxazole has been synthesized, and evaluated for their ability to function as substrates for recombinant human NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), a two-electron reductase upregulated in tumor cells. Quinones NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Overall, the quinones are excellent substrates for NQO1, approaching the reduction rates observed for menadione. Quinones NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 Homo sapiens
