Leucoquinizarin (CAS 476-60-8)
QUICK LINKS
Leucoquinizarin is a naturally occurring quinone compound and a precursor to several anthraquinone derivatives. It is found in many plant species, including the species of the genus Rubus, and is widely used in the fields of biochemistry and pharmaceutical research. Leucoquinizarin acts as an electron acceptor in biochemical reactions. It can be used to measure the rate of these reactions, as well as to study the structure and function of proteins and DNA. In addition, Leucoquinizarin may act to inhibit the growth of certain types of cancer cells and reduce the toxicity of certain drugs. Furthermore, it can increase the production of certain enzymes, such as tyrosinase and catalase, which are important for the metabolism of proteins and other molecules.
