| Common Name | 2,6-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone |

| Description | 2,6-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone, also known as 2, 6-dimethoxyquinone or 2,6-dimethoxysemiquinone radicals, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as p-benzoquinones. These are benzoquinones where the two C=O groups are attached at the 1- and 4-positions, respectively. 2,6-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 2,6-Dimethoxybenzoquinone (2,6-DMBQ) is a benzoquinone, a chemical compound found in Rauvolfia vomitoria and in Tibouchina pulchra. Outside of the human body, 2,6-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone has been detected, but not quantified in, common wheats and green vegetables. This could make 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. At physiological concentrations 2,6-Dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone is an antibacterial substance, in non-physiological, highly elevated concentrations might be mutagenic, cytotoxic, genotoxic, and hepatotoxic. 2,6-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone is found in Acacia melanoxylon R.Br. , Adonis vernalis , Ailanthus integrifolia, Alnus japonica, Annona cherimola, Artemisia capillaris, Atractylodes macrocephala, Baccharis megapotamica, Berchemia racemosa, Brucea javanica, Bruguiera rhynchopetala, Caesalpinia pulcherrima , Pisonia umbellifera, Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, Cinnamomum kotoense, Diospyros eriantha, Durio kutejensis , Eleutherococcus senticosus, Engelhardia roxburghiana, Enkianthus nudipes, Eucalyptus globulus, Euterpe oleracea, Fagara tessmannii Engl., Fraxinus chinensis, Helianthus heterophyllus, Hydrangea macrophylla, Iris milesii, Kielmeyera rupestris, Licaria triandra, Lindera glauca, Liriodendron tulipifera, Macaranga tanarius, Marsdenia tinctoria, Melicope semecarpifolia, Neolitsea acuminatissima, Pentaclethra eetveldeana, Phyllostachys heterocycla var.pubescens, Plumeria rubra, Populus pseudosimonii, Rauvolfia vomitoria , Rhizophora apiculata, Senecio vulgaris, Senna alata, Striga asiatica , Strobilanthes formosanus, Tapeinidium pinnatum, Toddalia asiatica , Triumfetta rhomboidea, Ulmus thomasii, Verbesina virginica, Viscum coloratum , Zanthoxylum beecheyanum, Zanthoxylum gilletii and Zanthoxylum nitidum. , But some scientists challenge its mutagenicity and others totally exclude such a possibility. |
