Product Information

• Name: Rapanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Rapanone is a bioactive compound classified as a quinone, which is isolated from the Annona species, particularly from the plant family Annonaceae. This compound is known for its interaction with cellular respiration mechanisms, where it specifically acts as an inhibitor of mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase, also known as complex I of the electron transport chain. The inhibition of complex I interferes with ATP production by disrupting the proton gradient required for ATP synthesis, leading to a depletion of energy within the cell.
