Methylhydroquinone (Standard) is the analytical standard of Methylhydroquinone. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Methylhydroquinone is an orally active COX inhibitor with IC50s of 480.7 µM and 52.2 µM for ovine COX-1 and human recombinant COX-2, respectively. Methylhydroquinone has potential DNA damaging effects: 1) inhibiting COX-1 to reduce prostaglandin synthesis and exert anti-inflammatory activity, 2) inducing DNA single-strand breaks. Methylhydroquinone exerts its effects by competitively binding to the active sites of COX-1 (such as Tyr385, Met522) and non-covalent interactions[1][2].
