Dihydrorotenone is an insecticide and irreversible inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I and can cross the blood-brain barrier. Dihydrorotenone may induce Parkinsons disease. Dihydrorotenone induces apoptosis in human plasma cells by triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and activating the p38 signaling pathway. The oral LD50 of dihydrorotenone in rats is approximately 2.5 g/kg. Dihydrorotenone exhibits insecticide activity and cytotoxicity to plasma cells. Dihydrorotenone can be used to establish animal models of Parkinsons disease, safety assessment of natural pesticides, and potential cancer chemoprevention studies[1][2][3][4].
