Abstract :
The redox potentials have been determined for nine anthraquinones in phosphate buffer at pH 7.2 by means of cyclic voltammetry. A definite correlation has been found between the redox potentials and the inhibitory effects of the anthraquinones on the EBV-EA activation. It has further been shown that the correlation can be made better by introducing an electronic property, i.e. the atomic charge at O12 as an additional parameter.
