AdipoGen Rotenone (1 g)

Supplier: AdipoGen AGCN20516G001
Rotenone (1 g), Adipogen Life Sciences. Chemical. CAS: 83-79-4. Formula: C23H22O6. MW: 394.4. Synthetic. Originally isolated from Lonchocarpus nicou. Cell-permeable reversible and competitive mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I (NADH-CoQ reductase) inhibitor (IC50=1.7-2.2µM). Inhibits NADH/DB oxidoreductase and NADH oxidase and consequently oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Specifically inhibits NAD-linked substrate oxidation of NADH dehydrogenase. Useful agent for immunometabolism research. Inhibition of electron transport chain in mitochondria leads to blocking of the transfer of electrons from iron-sulfur centers in complex I to ubiquinone. This interferes with NADH during the creation of usable cellular energy (ATP), and Complex I is unable to pass off its electron to CoQ, creating a back-up of electrons within the mitochondrial matrix.
