Product Overview:
2,3-Dimethoxy-5-methyl-p-benzoquinone, also known as coenzyme Q0, is a key intermediate in the synthesis of coenzyme Q, coenzyme Q10, other ubiquinones, and vitamin E.{43190,43191} It inhibits the growth of SKOV-3, A2780, and A2870/CP70 human ovarian carcinoma cells (IC50s = 26.6, 27.3, and 28.4 µM, respectively) with a cytotoxic concentration of greater than 40 µM for non-cancerous ovarian surface epithelial cells.{43192} It halts the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and induces autophagy and apoptosis in SKOV-3 cells. 2,3-Dimethoxy-5-methyl-p-benzoquinone downregulates the protooncogene HER-2 and decreases the protein levels of phosphorylated AKT and mTOR in SKOV-3 cells. It also decreases the incidence of tumors and tumor burden in a SKOV-3 human ovarian carcinoma mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg every four days.

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
