Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Dunnione is a synthetic 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative known for its ability to modulate cellular redox states and NAD⁺ metabolism. It acts as a substrate for NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), leading to NAD⁺ generation and potential protection against oxidative stress. Dunnione has been investigated for its therapeutic potential in models of metabolic disorders, neurodegeneration, and age-related diseases due to its role in enhancing cellular NAD⁺ levels and mitochondrial function.
