Description
Rotenone is an inhibitor of Complex I (CI) and thus inhibits NADH oxidation. It inhibits the transfer of electrons from iron-sulfur clusters in CI to ubiquinone via binding to the ubiquinone binding site of CI. See also Complex II-linked substrate state, S(Rot).
Abbreviation: Rot

Application in HRR
- Rot: Rotenone (C23H22O6); Sigma R 8875, 1 g, store commercial stock at RT; M = 394.42 g·mol-1 (≥ 95%).
- Caution: Very toxic and light sensitive (store solution in a dark glass vial).
- Preparation of 1 mM stock solution (dissolved in 99.9 % ethanol) for 2-mL O2k-chamber:
- Weigh 0.39 mg of rotenone and dissolve in 1 ml of ethanol absolute (99.9 %).
- Divide into 100 µL aliquots (use dark glass vials).
- Store frozen at -20 °C.
- » O2k manual titrations MiPNet09.12 O2k-Titrations
- Titration volume (2-mL O2k-chamber): 1 µL using a 10 µL Hamilton syringe.
- Final concentration: 0.5 µM.
- Preparation of 0.25 mM stock solution (dissolved in 99.9 % ethanol) for 0.5-mL O2k-chamber:
- Take 50 µL of the 1 mM stock solution.
- Add 150 µL of ethanol absolute (99.9 %).
- » O2k manual titrations MiPNet09.12 O2k-Titrations
- Titration volume (0.5-mL O2k-chamber): 1 µL using a 10 µL Hamilton syringe.
- Final concentration: 0.5 µM.
- Microalgae applications
- For the specific case of microalgal cells it is recommended to prepare higher concentration:
- Preparation of 5.5 mM stock solution (dissolved in 99.9 % ethanol)
- Weigh 4.4 mg of rotenone and dissolve in 2 ml of ethanol absolute (99.9 %).
- Divide into 200 µl aliquots (use dark glass vials).
- Store frozen at -20 °C.
- » O2k manual titrations MiPNet09.12 O2k-Titrations
- Titration volume (2-mL O2k-chamber): 15 µL using a 25 µL Hamilton syringe.
- Experimental concentration: 41 µM.
Inhibition of CI by rotenone

History
- Up to 2006, rotenone was added at a high final concentration (0.5 µM), hence a 0.5 mM stock solution was prepared. Since 0.05 µM may be fully inhibiting, we suggested to use a stock solution at lower concentration (0.1 mM), to reduce the problem of rotenone retention. The 2006 edition listed a 0.2 mM stock solution, but the amount added to 10 ml ethanol was given for a 0.15 mM stock solution. Our recent rotenone titrations with permeabilized muscle fibers, however, confirmed that the originally proposed higher rotenone concentration is actually required for full inhibition.
