| Targets |
DHQ exhibits activity against multiple targets. It is an inducer of the ATPase activity of herpes simplex virus (HSV) thymidine kinase. It also inhibits the binding of [3H]DCKA to the NMDA receptor in rat brain membranes with an IC50 of 9800.0 nM and inhibits [3H]glycine binding at the NMDA receptor glycine site. DHQ shows binding affinity (Kb = 16500.0 nM) towards the glycine site of the NMDA receptor. It also shows inhibition of [3H]AMPA binding to AMPA receptors with low affinity (Ki > 100,000 nM). Additionally, DHQ inhibits human JMJD2E and the malarial parasite plastid, and acts as an agonist of the mutation responsible for Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome.
