摘要
The quinones 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ), methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (MNQ), trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (TMQ) and 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (UQ-0) enhance the rate of nitric oxide (NO) reduction by ascorbate in nitrogen-saturated phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The observed rate constants for this reaction were determined to be 16+/-2,215+/-6,290+/-14 and 462+/-18 M-1 s(-1) , for MNQ, TMQ, NQ and UQ-0, respectively. These rate constants increase with an increase in quinone one-electron redox potential at neutral pH, E-7(1) . Since NO production is enhanced under hypoxia and under certain pathological conditions, the observations obtained in this work are very relevant to such conditions.
