Pm. Gallop et al., HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PQQ INHIBITION BY ALKYNYL AND ARYL MONOIODONIUM AND DIIODONIUM SALTS, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 115(25), 1993, pp. 11702-11704
PQQ (methoxatin), a bis(quinone) tricarboxylic acid, is an organic cof
actor in a variety of biological redox processes. It is effectively in
hibited on a micromolar scale by alkynyl and aryl monoiodonium salts,
whereas bis(iodonium)triflates 5 and 8 are PQQ inhibitors at nanomolar
levels.
