Biological Data

Biological description

Mitochondrial Complex I Inhibitor which impairs mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting to induce ATP depletion, mROS production and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential.

It is commonly used to experimentally induce mitochondrial dysfunction and also used to induce Parkinsonian animal disease models.

Also induces proteasome inhibition.

Cell permeable and brain penetrant.
