Descriptor dibromotimoquinona
Scope note: A bajas concentraciones, este compuesto inhibe la reducción de los aceptores de electrones hidrófilos convencionales, actuando probablemente como antagonista de la plastoquinona. A mayores concentraciones actúa como aceptor de electrones, interceptando electrones antes o en el sitio de su actividad inhibidora.
