Description
4-HQN (491-36-1) is an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (IC50?= 9.5 μM).1?Displays mixed inhibition with respect to NAD+. Protective against ischemia-reperfusion induced ROS production, and subsequent mitochondrial and cell damage in rat heart.2?4-HQN is anti-inflammatory in LPS-induced endotoxic mice?in vivo; decreases NF-κB and AP-1 activation.3
Chemical Properties
off-white to light beige crystalline powder
Uses
4-Hydroxyquinazoline is been used to inhibit PARP (poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase) which catalyzes covalent attachment of the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD+ to various proteins. This compound specifically and potently inhibits PARP-1. 4-HQN demonstrates the ability to decrease activation of transcription factor NFκB and AP-1 in lipopolysaccharide-induced shock. Mechanistic studies indicate that 4-HQN activates PI3-kinase/Akt pathway in the liver, spleen, and lung and down-regulates two elements of the MAP kinase system. Additionally, this agent has been observed to decrease ischemia-reperfusion-induced increase of protein oxidation, single-strand DNA breaks, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production in the reperfusion period.
Uses
4-Hydroxyquinazoline shows anti-microbial and anti-carcinogenic activity as seen in studies due to the quinazoline moiety.
Definition
