2,5-Dimethoxybenzo-1,4-quinone Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

2,5-DMBQ (2,5-Dimethoxybenzoquinone) serves as an extracellular reductant. 2,5-DMBQ is involved in a crucial redox cycle, namely the extracellular hydroquinone-quinone redox cycle. In this cycle, 2,5-DMBQ is capable of reducing extracellular Fe3? and generating H2O2. 2,5-DMBQ plays a pivotal role in the biodegradation mechanism of brown rot fungal, assisting the fungi in decomposing and utilizing organic matter[1][2].

Definition

ChEBI: Thermophillin is a member of benzoquinones and a member of p-quinones.
