Bioactivity | Decylubiquinone is an analog of ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10). Decylubiquinone blocks reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in response to glutathione depletion and inhibits activation of the mitochondrial permeability transition[1]. |
Invitro | Decylubiquinone (dUb; 10 μm for 6 hours) exerts its effects on ROS by either inhibition of ROS production by cytochrome bc1 or that it scavenged ROS produced[1]. Decylubiquinone inhibits both the dichlorofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence increase resulting from H2O2 treatment and the DCF fluorescence increase resulting after glutathione (GSH) depletion using diethylmaleate mitochondrially generated ROS)[1].
