9282833 Fang N, Rowlands JC, Casida JE: Anomalous structure-activity relationships of 13-homo-13-oxarotenoids and 13-homo-13-oxadehyrorotenoids. Chem Res Toxicol. 1997 Aug;10(8):853-8.

These six rotenoids were compared for potency as inhibitors of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity and for organismal toxicity to mosquito larvae, goldfish, and mice and cytotoxicity in three mammalian cell lines (Hepa 1C1C7, MCF 7, and NB 41A3).
This difference in cytotoxicity is not due to specificity at the oxidoreductase target but instead to more extensive cytochrome P450-dependent (piperonyl butoxide-sensitive) detoxification of 2 than of 1.
