Quinone toxicity: involvement of reactive oxygen species.

chapter
posted on 2023-05-03, 12:48 authored by Rex Munday
Quinones are widely distributed in the environment, as essential compounds in cellular metabolism, as drugs, and as pollutants. They are also present in many plant-based foodstuffs. Quinones undergo redox cycling in the presence of reducing agents, generating “reactive oxygen species”, such as superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. This book chapter reviews the involvement of such species in the harmful and beneficial effects of quinones.
