Rotenone is the classical inhibitor of NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase and its analogue deguelin is a potent inhibitor of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-induced ornithine decarboxylase mRNA steady state level and enzyme activity in mouse 308 cells (Gerhauser et al. 1995).

The toxic action of rotenone is attributed to inhibition of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity and the purported cancer chemopreventive effect of deguelin analogs has been associated with inhibition of phorbol ester-induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity.

These results suggest that antimicrotubule effects, as mediated by rotenone, for example, are not responsible for inhibitory activity facilitated by deguelin.

10552508 Fang N, Casida JE: Cube resin insecticide: identification and biological activity of 29 rotenoid constituents. J Agric Food Chem. 1999 May;47(5):2130-6.

The four major active ingredients are rotenone, deguelin, rotenolone, and tephrosin, totaling 77 wt %.
Assays of the 29 rotenoids as inhibitors of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity (primary target for toxicity) and phorbol ester-induced ornithine decarboxylase activity (indicator of cancer chemopreventive action) and for cytotoxicity establish similar structure-activity relationships in each system and the importance of the overall molecular conformation and the E-ring substituents.

However, it has been suggested that this agent reduces ornithine decarboxylase activity, and perhaps the activity of other signaling intermediates associated with tumorigenesis, by inhibiting mitochondrial bioenergetics.

Gabaculine, a suicide inhibitor of OAT, and rotenone sharply decreased the production of 14CO2 from [1-14C] ornithine.

Rotenone blocks decarboxylation suggesting that this occurs through the pathway ornithine leads to glutamic semialdehyde leads to glutamate leads to alpha-ketoglutarate, which in turn is decarboxylated.
Insulin promotes a marked increase of cytosol ornithine decarboxylase activity, but has little effect on decarboxylation by the particulate cellular fraction.

Cytostatic concentrations of DETA/NO strongly inhibited respiration of PC12 cells, and specific respiratory inhibitors (rotenone, myxothiazol, or azide) caused complete cytostasis.
