quinone and Chromosomal Breakage

quinone has been researched along with Chromosomal Breakage in 2 studies

benzoquinone : The simplest members of the class of benzoquinones, consisting of cyclohexadiene which is substituted by two oxo groups.
1,4-benzoquinone : The simplest member of the class of 1,4-benzoquinones, obtained by the formal oxidation of hydroquinone to the corresponding diketone. It is a metabolite of benzene.
quinone : Compounds having a fully conjugated cyclic dione structure, such as that of benzoquinones, derived from aromatic compounds by conversion of an even number of -CH= groups into -C(=O)- groups with any necessary rearrangement of double bonds (polycyclic and heterocyclic analogues are included).

"Benzene is a human carcinogen that induces hematopoietic malignancies."1.33Stimulation of topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage by benzene metabolites. ( Bender, RP; Lindsey, RH; Osheroff, N, 2005)
"Benzoquinone was the most damaging compound when tested under more physiological conditions, thereby supporting the general observation that it is the most myelotoxic benzene metabolite."1.31Influence of culture conditions on the DNA-damaging effect of benzene and its metabolites in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. ( De Bartolomeo, A; Fabiani, R; Lepore, L; Morozzi, G; Rosignoli, P; Scamosci, M, 2001)
