Application
Quinone oxidoreductase 2 has been used in a study to investigate whether recent advances in limiting paraquat′s toxicity makes it safer for use as an herbicide. Quinone oxidoreductase 2 has also been used in a study to investigate the NQO2-mediated toxicity of the chemotherapeutic drug CB1954.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Modulation of NQO2 activity can have effects on the levels and functions of the tumour suppressor, p53. Deletion of NQO2 can alter intra-cellular signalling via the NF-κB pathway.[1]
Unique human oxidoreductase that uses Dihydronicotinamide riboside (NRH) as a cosubstrate, not NAD(P)H. Activates anticancer prodrugs. Putative melatonin receptor.
Unit Definition
One unit will catalyze the oxidation of one micromole of 1-methyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide to 1-methylnicotinamide per minute in the presence of menadione at pH 7.4 at 37 °C.

The National Cancer Institute chemical database has been screened using in silico docking to identify novel nanomolar inhibitors of NRH:quinone oxidoreductase 2 (NQO2). The inhibitors identified from the screen exhibit a diverse range of scaffolds and the structure of one

The purpose of the work was to identify novel inhibitors of the enzyme NQO2. Using computational molecular modelling, a QSAR (R(2)=0.88) was established, relating inhibitory potency with calculated binding affinity. From this, the imidazoacridin-6-one, NSC660841, was identified as the most

As catabolites of nicotinamide possess physiological relevance, pyridones are often included in metabolomics measurements and associated with pathological outcomes in acute kidney injury (AKI). Pyridones are oxidation products of nicotinamide, its methylated form, and its ribosylated form. While they are
