Abstract

PQQ (methoxatin), a bis(quinone) tricarboxylic acid, is an organic cofactor in a variety of biological redox processes. It is effectively inhibited on a micromolar scale by alkynyl and aryl monoiodonium salts, whereas bis- (iodonium)triflates 5 and 8 are PQQ inhibitors at nanomolar levels.
