Duroquinone (Tetramethylquinone) is a model compound of amphiphilic quinone, which can be used as an oxidative-reductive activity probe. Duroquinone can be easily reduced by biological systems to hydrogen peroxide (DQH2) or semi-quinone free radicals (DQ^). Duroquinone can freely pass through the cell membrane, facilitating the study of the electron transfer process inside and outside the cells. Duroquinone can be used to investigate the relationship between metabolism in the pulmonary circulation and endothelial cells[1].
