Thymohydroquinone - CAS 2217-60-9

Thymohydroquinone (Thymoquinol) is a monoterpenoid phenolic compound found in thyme, oregano, and other plants in the labiaceae family. Thymohydroquinone inhibits cancer cell growth, reduces oxidative stress and modulates inflammatory responses, scoured 2, 2-diphenyl-1-PicrylHydrazyl radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 2.4 μg/ml), In the oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) test at concentrations of 1.6 to 6.4 μg/ml, Its Trolox value was 2.6. Thymus hydroquinone inhibited the growth of A2780, OVCAR-8 and CIS-A2780 ovarian cancer cells (IC50 were 3.1, 8.9 and 9.8 μM, respectively) and human ovarian immortalized epithelial cells (IC50 = 14 μM) . It also inhibited Plasmodium falciparum in vitro (IC50 = 15.9 μM) .
