DescriptionUbiquinone-1, also known as coenzyme Q1 or COQ1, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ubiquinones. These are coenzyme Q derivatives containing a 5, 6-dimethoxy-3-methyl(1,4-benzoquinone) moiety to which an isoprenyl group is attached at ring position 2(or 6). Ubiquinone-1 is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
