(in)quorate

quorum = the number of members of a group or organization required to be present to transact business legally, usually a majority.
It seems the noun 'quorum' is used both in the US and UK.
How about the adjectives:
1. quorate
2. inquorate
If they are not used in the US, what are the US equivalents?

Thank you.
