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.

The incidence of bacterial disease has increased tremendously in the last decade, because of the emergence of drug resistance strains within the bacterial pathogens. The present study was to investigate the antibacterial compound 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DTBBQ) isolated from marine Streptomyces sp.
