2,6-Dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone, also known as 2,6-DCBQ, an organic compound that emerges as a disinfection by-product (DBP) that is frequently found in drinking water disinfected with chlorine or chloramines. 2,6-DCBQ is a member of the halobenzoquinones (HBQ), which in recent years has gained significant attention in environmental toxicology due to high levels encountered in drinking water. 2,6-DCBQ has been linked to neurodevelopmental toxicity due to reactive oxygen species formation inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. DCBQ does not only have high toxic potency but is also a potential carcinogen. 2,6-DCBQ is frequently used in biochemistry to study the QB-binding site in Photosystem II (PSII). It is used as an artificial electron acceptor (AEAs) with a molecular structure similar to plastoquinone's.
