Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
1.6.5.2 medicine individuals with the NQO1*2 allele are more susceptible to the toxic effects of benzene metabolites. Quinones that are good substrates for human NQO1 are more toxic to the NQO1 containing or expressing tumour cell lines than the NQO1-deficient cell lines. Quinones such as the biphenyl and naphthyl derivatives that are poor substrates show no selectivity or have no measurable cytotoxicity Homo sapiens

Inhibitors

EC Number Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
1.6.5.2 dicumarol most potent competitive inhibitor of QO1. Disadvantages with dicumarol in that it is not selective and can inhibit other enzymes in addition to NQO1 and it can also be extensively protein bound complicating its use in cellular assays Homo sapiens
1.6.5.2 ES936 effective mechanism-based inhibitor. Inhibits NQO1 in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. In agreement with its role as mechanism-based (suicide substrate) inhibitor, requires the presence of cofactor NADH, and therefore a catalytic turnover, for effective enzyme inhibition. At 100 nanomol concentration, ES936 inhibits more than 95% of NQO1 activity in cells within 30 min, and since it is specific, appears to be a more useful biochemical tool than dicumarol for use in routine NQO1 assays Homo sapiens
1.6.5.2 ES936 pancreatic tumour xenografts in mice grow significantly slower following treatment with ES936 Mus musculus
