1,2-Naphthoquinone (CAS 524-42-5)
QUICK LINKS
1,2-Naphthoquinone is a useful naphthalene for proteomics research. 1,2-Naphthoquinone serves as a significant metabolite of naphthalene, contributing to its cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. This atmospheric contaminant is responsible for causing the contraction of tracheal smooth muscles in guinea pigs, achieved through the activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor. Moreover, 1,2-Naphthoquinone has been identified as an environmental quinone present in diesel exhaust particles (DEP) and atmospheric particulate matter. This compound presents itself as either golden yellow needles or brown powder and undergoes decomposition to a bluish-black color upon standing. It serves as the foundational structure within the family of 1,2-naphthoquinones, featuring oxo groups of the quinone moiety at positions 1 and 2 of the naphthalene ring. As a metabolite of naphthalene, it can be found in diesel exhaust particles. Its functions include acting as a carcinogenic agent and an aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist. This specific naphthoquinone is derived from a hydride of a naphthalene compound.
