Abstract
The effect of quinones on ascites cancer cells in vitro and in vivo results from hydrogen peroxide which is formed by the autoxidation of hydroquinones formed in the cell medium. Since this process is sensitively dependent on the existing oxygen pressure the mechanism of the quinone effect can be demonstrated by the determination of the oxygen-dependence of this effect.
