Biological activity | Naphthazarin (DHNQ) is a naturally occurring compound that is effective through a variety of cellular mechanisms, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) activation, Microtubule depolymerization, interference with lysosomal function and p53-dependent p21 activation. Naphthazarin triggers apoptosis (apoptosis) and has anti-tumor effect. |
