Dehydromonocrotaline
Dehydromonocrotaline is a mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I NADH oxidase inhibitor, with a IC50 of 62.06 μM and a Ki of 8.1 μM in rats. Dehydromonocrotaline exerts non-competitive inhibitory effects by modifying cysteine thiol groups on complex I, and does not bind to the NADH-binding site. Dehydromonocrotaline dissipates mitochondrial membrane potential and reduces ATP levels. Dehydromonocrotaline can be used in studies related to hepatotoxicity, pulmonary hypertension and liver tumors.

Biological Activity
Dehydromonocrotaline (100-250 μM) significantly dissipates the membrane potential of glutamate/malate-energized isolated rat liver mitochondria[1].
Dehydromonocrotaline (100-250 μM) significantly depletes ATP levels in glutamate/malate-energized isolated rat liver mitochondria[1].
Dehydromonocrotaline (62.06 μM) inhibits complex I NADH oxidase activity in rat liver submitochondrial particles with an IC50 of 62.06 μM via non-competitive inhibition (Ki = 8.1 μM)[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Dehydromonocrotaline (formed in vivo from 10 mg/kg monocrotaline; oral gavage; single dose) contributes to the generation of a set of DHP-derived DNA adducts in rat liver with a time course of formation and removal that parallels that of riddelliine, but at significantly lower maximum levels[3].

Animal Model:F344 (female, weanling; liver tumorigenicity model via monocrotaline administration)[3]
-
Dosage:Formed in vivo as metabolite of monocrotaline (10 mg/kg single oral dose)
-
Administration:Oral gavage; single dose
-
Result:Did not detect DHP-derived DNA adducts in liver DNA at 8 hours after monocrotaline dosing.
Reached maximum adduct levels at 7 days after treatment, then declined over time.
Dropped to levels comparable to those seen 2-3 days after dosing by 30 days after dosing.
Showed maximum adduct level 8-fold lower than that in rats treated with riddelliine.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.73 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.73 mM); Suspended solution
This protocol yields a suspended solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
