PYRROLOQUINOLINE QUINONE (PQQ) 72909-34-3

Function of Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)

Pyrroloquinoline quinone is short for PQQ. It is a new prosthetic group that can treat heart disease, neurological diseases, protect the liver, and maintain mitochondrial function.

Pyrroloquinoline quinones are widely present in prokaryotes, plants and mammals. It is not only the prosthetic group of many enzymes, but also the function of transferring electrons, protons and chemical groups in enzymatic reactions, and can also stimulate microorganisms. Growth, plant germination, and plant growth.

The biological functions of PQQ include: stimulating the rapid growth of cells in microorganisms, plants, animals, and humans; removing excess free radicals in the body; stimulating the production of nerve growth factors; and protecting mammalian cardiomyocytes. Its effects: the body's important growth factors; adjust the body's free radical levels, protect the body; resist oxidative damage; enhance mitochondrial function; detoxify; prevent skin aging, have a weakening effect on melanin deposition disorders; prevent Alzheimer's disease; prevent Alzheimer's disease, etc. .

In addition, according to studies, pyrroquinoline quinone (PQQ) has a reversal effect on the multidrug resistance of lung cancer/cisplatin-resistant strains (A549/DDP) and ovarian cancer/paclitaxel-resistant strains (A2780/Taxol).
