| Compound Description | Coenzyme Q10 is a ubiquinone having a side chain of 10 isoprenoid units. In the naturally occurring isomer, all isoprenyl double bonds are in the E- configuration. It has a role as a human metabolite, a ferroptosis inhibitor and an antioxidant.Ubidecarenone, also called coenzyme Q10, is a 1,4-benzoquinone. From its name , the Q refers to the constitutive quinone group, and 10 is related to the number of isoprenyl subunits in its tail. It is a powerful antioxidant, a lipid-soluble and essential cofactor in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The ubidecarenone is the coenzyme destined for mitochondrial enzyme complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation in the production of ATP. It is fundamental for cells that have a high metabolic demand. Ubidecarenone is sold as a dietary supplement and is not FDA approved as a drug - it is not meant to treat, cure or prevent any disease. FDA does not approve this dietary supplements before sold nor regulate the manufacturing process.Ubiquinone-10 is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli .Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is an enzyme cofactor found in virtually all cells of the body and participates in many essential energy-producing and antioxidant enzymatic actions. While normally synthesized in the body in adequate amounts, coenzyme Q10 is used as a nutritional supplement for conditions highly dependent upon its actions, some of which are associated with low serum levels of the coenzyme. Coenzyme Q supplements are generally well tolerated and there is no evidence that they cause serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent liver injury.Coenzyme Q10 is a natural product found in Fusarium fujikuroi, Cytisus scoparius, and other organisms with data available.Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring benzoquinone important in electron transport in mitochondrial membranes. Coenzyme Q10 functions as an endogenous antioxidant; deficiencies of this enzyme have been observed in patients with many different types of cancer and limited studies have suggested that coenzyme Q10 may induce tumor regression in patients with breast cancer. This agent may have immunostimulatory effects. See also: ... View More ... |
