Biochem/physiol Actions

Rotenone is an inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport at nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH):ubiquinone oxidoreductase. It is readily absorbed through the exoskeletons of arthropods, but poorly absorbed cutaneously or from the gastrointestinal tract of mammals. Rotenone acts as a neurotoxic agent which can produce Parkinson-like condition to serve as an animal model for the study of etiology and interventions. The primary mechanism of action of rotenone is complex I inhibition, followed by the generation of oxidative stress and oxidative damage. Because rotenone is lipophilic, it readily penetrates the brain, where it attaches to and inhibits mitochondrial complex I of electron chain transport (ETC).
