Biological Activity

[Description]:

Dihydrorotenone, a natural pesticide, is a potent mitochondrial inhibitor. Dihydrorotenone probably induces Parkinsonian syndrome. Dihydrorotenone induces human plasma cell apoptosis by triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and activating p38 signaling pathway[1].
