A high-throughput cell-based screen identified redox-active small molecules that produce a period lengthening of the circadian rhythm. The strongest period lengthening phenotype was induced by a phenazine carboxamide (VU661). Comparison to two isomeric benzquinoline carboxamides (VU673 and VU164) shows the activity is associated with the redox modulating phenazine functionality. Furthermore, ex vivo cell analysis using optical redox ratio measurements shows the period lengthening phenotype to be associated with a shift to the NAD/FAD oxidation state of nicotinamide and flavine coenzymes.
