2,3-Dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone (2,3-DBNQ) is a significant organic compound widely employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of various products. With a 1,4-naphthoquinone ring bearing two bromine atoms, it is classified as a conjugated diene. The precise mechanism of action of 2,3-Dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone remains incompletely understood. However, it is believed to function as an inhibitor of the enzyme squalene epoxidase, which plays a role in the biosynthesis of ergosterol—an essential component of fungal cell membranes.
