General description

2,5-Di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DTBBQ) is an 2,5-disubstituted quinone. It is an antibacterial compound. It has been isolated from marine Streptomyces sp. VITVSK1. Pressure dependance on the intramolecular and intermolecular migration rates of Na+ and K+ in a 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone ion pair have been evaluated by using a high-pressure EPR technique.

We characterized the interaction of 2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (tBuBHQ) with the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase from rabbit fast-twitch skeletal and canine cardiac muscles by examining the effect of this agent on the ATPase reaction. tBuBHQ at less than 10 microM inhibited ATP

The mechanisms of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release in pacemaker cells from the sinus venosus of the cane toad (Bufo marinus) were studied. Single, isolated cells were voltage clamped using a nystatin-perforated patch. Ionic currents and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i)

Specific inhibitors of the endoplasmic-reticulum Ca2+ pump will deplete intracellular stores and are therefore useful to study the role of store depletion on plasma-membrane Ca2+ permeability. We now report that the Ca(2+)-pump inhibitor 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (tBuBHQ) reduces the passive Ca2+ leak
