Farnesylacetone
Farnesylacetone acts as a transcriptional regulator, RNA synthesis modulator, and male hormone. Farnesylacetone can be extracted from the androgenic glands of the green crab (Carcinus maenas). Farnesylacetone modulates transcriptional processes, inhibits uridine incorporation into all types of RNA and leucine incorporation into ovaries, while stimulating uridine incorporation into tRNA/poly (A)+ RNA and leucine incorporation into testes. It suppresses electron transport in mitochondrial Complex I and Complex II. Farnesylacetone inhibits vitellogenesis in crustacean ovaries and stimulates uridine incorporation in crustacean intestines. It functions as an androgen in crustaceans.

Description
In Vitro
Farnesylacetone (228-380 μM) specifically inhibits electron transfer between succinate dehydrogenase within Complex II and the ubiquinone pool in isolated rat liver mitochondria, with no inhibitory effect on succinate dehydrogenase itself; 380 μM Farnesylacetone reduces Complex II activity by 68.5% while increasing succinate dehydrogenase activity by 8%[2].
