DMNQ
DMNQ (2,3-Dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) is a redox-cycling compound that elevates intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. It is widely used as a chemical inducer of oxidative stress in both cellular (in vitro) and animal (in vivo) models to study related signaling pathways, toxicity, and disease mechanisms.
