Product Description
1,4-Chrysenequinone is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that functions as an activator of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR).
1,4-Chrysenequinone is a polycyclic aromatic quinone (PAQ), which is an oxygenated derivative of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These compounds are present in the atmospheric environment alongside PAHs, but their toxicological significance, particularly their aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligand activity, has been rarely reported. This study evaluated the AhR activation potential of 1,4-Chrysenequinone using two reporter gene assays: a yeast assay with human AhR and a mouse hepatoma cell assay (CALUX). [1]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). In the CALUX assay using mouse hepatoma H1L1 cells, 1,4-Chrysenequinone exhibited significant AhR agonist activity with an ECTCDD25 (concentration producing 25% of the maximal response to TCDD) of 1.9 μM. [1]
ln Vitro
In yeast and mouse liver cancer cell cultures, 1,4-chrysenequinone exhibits noteworthy AhR ligand activity, with ECCDD25s (concentration equal to 25% of TCDD max) of 9.7 nM and 1.9 μM, respectively [1].
In the CALUX assay (mouse hepatoma H1L1 cells), 1,4-Chrysenequinone showed significant AhR ligand activity, with an ECTCDD25 of 1.9 μM, which was approximately one order of magnitude lower than that of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). [1]
In the yeast reporter gene assay (Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain YCM3 expressing human AhR and ARNT), treatment with 10 μM 1,4-Chrysenequinone resulted in significant inhibition of yeast cell growth, with cell density reduced to 15-35% of the control. [1]
Cell Assay
Yeast reporter gene assay: Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain YCM3 (engineered to express human AhR and AhR nuclear translocator) was grown overnight in synthetic glucose medium at 30°C. The next day, 10 μL of saturated culture was inoculated into glass tubes containing 400 μL of synthetic 2% galactose medium. Test compound (1,4-Chrysenequinone) dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide was added to achieve a final solvent concentration of 0.5%, followed by 18 h incubation at 30°C. Cell density was measured at 595 nm. β-Galactosidase activity was measured using α-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside as substrate; absorbance was read at 405 nm. Activity (lacZ units) was calculated. Growth inhibition (15-35% of control) was observed at 10 μM 1,4-Chrysenequinone. [1]
CALUX assay: Mouse hepatoma H1L1.1c2 cells (~1.5×105 cells/well) were cultured in 96-well plates. 1,4-Chrysenequinone dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide was added to the medium (final solvent concentration 1%). Plates were incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 24 h. Cell viability was confirmed microscopically, then medium removed and cells lysed. Luciferase activity was measured after adding luciferin substrate, reported as relative light units. The concentration producing 25% of the maximal TCDD response (ECTCDD25) for 1,4-Chrysenequinone was 1.9 μM. [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The hydrophobicity (log Kow) of 1,4-Chrysenequinone was determined by reversed-phase HPLC using a methanol-water (90:10) mobile phase at 1.0 mL/min on an ODS column, with detection at 254 nm. The log Kow value was calculated from a standard curve constructed using reference compounds (phenol, toluene, bromobenzene, and several PAHs). The measured log Kow for 1,4-Chrysenequinone was 4.89. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In the yeast cell assay, treatment with 10 μM 1,4-Chrysenequinone caused significant growth inhibition, reducing cell density to 15-35% of the control. No other toxicity data (e.g., half-lethal dose, hepatotoxicity, protein binding) were reported. [1]

1,4-Chrysenequinone is a four-ring polycyclic aromatic quinone. Its chemical structure is shown in Figure 1 of the original paper. The compound was one of the oxygenated PAHs that showed significant AhR activity in the CALUX assay, with potency about one order of magnitude lower than benzo[a]pyrene. No environmental contribution estimates (e.g., in gasoline exhaust or airborne particulates) were provided for this specific compound in the study. [1]

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~3.33 mg/mL (~12.89 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 0.5 mg/mL (1.94 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 5.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

10 mM 0.3872 mL 1.9360 mL 3.8719 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
