Notes: (−)-Deguelin is a rotenoid that has been found in T. vogelii and has diverse biological activities.{51433,16334,16332,16314} It inhibits mitochondrial complex I, also known as NADH dehydrogenase, activity in bovine heart electron transport particles and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells (IC50s = 6.9 and 11 nM, respectively).{16334} (−)-Deguelin (100 nM) induces apoptosis in MCF-7 and SK-BR-3 breast cancer cells.{16332} It induces mortality in adult bruchid beetles (C. maculatus) when used at concentrations ranging from 10 to 500 ppm.{51433} (−)-Deguelin (6 mg/kg) induces nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration in rats.{16314}
