Product Information

• Name: Carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone
• Synonyms: Mesoxalonitrile 4-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazoneFCCP
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP) is a pharmacological agent that is used to study the mechanisms of neuronal death and mitochondrial dysfunction. FCCP is reactive with cellular components, such as proteins and nucleic acids. It also affects mitochondrial membrane potential, energy metabolism, and synchronous fluorescence in human cells. The reactive effects of FCCP are due to its ability to reduce intracellular dinucleotide phosphate (DNP). DNP binds to the electron transport chain, which leads to the production of reactive oxygen species that disrupt cellular physiology.
