Science

Mechanism of Action

Acts as a protonophore to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation, increasing respiration while reducing coupling efficiency; reported not to depolarize the plasma membrane.

Targets

Mitochondrial proton gradient (ฮ”pH/ฮ”ฮจm)

Benefits

Increases mitochondrial respiration via uncoupling (research tool)Used to study energy expenditure and mitochondrial bioenergeticsPreclinical protection reported in mouse ischemia-reperfusion injury models

Potential Side Effects

  • Not established in humans
  • In vitro: uncouplers can increase cellular stress at higher exposures (study-dependent)
