Background: 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an ionophore that affects the protein gradient across the mitochondrial membrane, making ATP energy production less efficient. Historically, the molecule is used to help increase weight loss by increasing the overall metabolic rate. However, it has shown unacceptably high side effects and is not considered safe for human consumption.
