quinone reductase 2

Resveratrol (SRT 501) is a polyphenolic natural product, a plant antitoxin with antioxidant and chemopreventive activities. Resveratrol has a wide range of targets including COX, SIRT, LOC, etc. Resveratrol induces autophagy and apoptosis.

Casein kinase 1δ-IN-9 is a Quinone reductase 2 inhibitor with IC50 of 0.6μM.

S29434 (NMDPEF) is a potent, competitive inhibitor of quinone reductase 2 (QR2), with an IC50 range of 5-16 nM.

Nrf2-ARE/hMAO-B/QR2 modulator 1, a resveratrol derivative and multi-target-directed ligand (mtdl), activated the NRF2-ARE pathway (CD = 9.83 μM), selectively inhibited hMAO-B and QR2（quinone reductase-2，NQO2) (IC 50 = 8.05 and 0.57 μM), and was able to promote hippocampal neurogenesis and exert neuroprotective and antioxidant effects in an Alzheimer's disease model.

Casimiroin is a quinone reductase 2 inhibitor; isolated from Casimiroa edulis.

2-Hydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)anthraquinone exhibits quinone reductase (QR)- inducing activity in Hepa lclc7 cells, with the concentration required to double QR activity of 0.94 microM.
