General description
1,2-Naphthoquinone is one of the major metabolite of naphthalene, which is responsible for the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity associated with it. 1,2-Naphthoquinone is an atmospheric contaminant. It causes the contraction of trachea smooth muscles in guinea pig through the activation of epidermal growth factor receptor. 1,2-Naphthoquinone has been reported as an environmental quinone in diesel exhaust particles (DEP) and atmospheric particulate matter.
Application
1,2-Naphthoquinone was employed as mediator during electrochemical mapping of redox activity in normal human breast (MCF-10A) cells by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM).

Naphthalene-1,2-oxide (NPO), 1,2-naphthoquinone (1,2-NPQ) and 1,4-naphthoquinone (1,4-NPQ) are the major metabolites of naphthalene that are thought to be responsible for the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of this chemical. We measured cysteinyl adducts of these metabolites in hemoglobin (Hb) and albumin (Alb)

A novel comb-like derivative CPEG-g-DNQ was prepared by incorporating light responsive 2-diazo-1,2-naphthoquinone (DNQ) groups into the structure of comb-like poly(ethylene glycol) (CPEG). DLS and TEM results showed that CPEG-g-DNQ self-assembled into spherical micelles with an average size of about 135 nm
