In Vitro Rapanone (10-40 μM; 24 h) inhibits the cell viability, with IC50s of 35.58 μM and 27.89 μM for primary rats hepatocytes and HepG2 cells, respectively[1]. Rapanone (10-40 μM; 24 h) induces a concentration-dependent mitochondrial membrane potential dissipation, ATP depletion, hydrogen peroxide generation and, phosphatidyl serine externalization in HepG2 cells[1]. Rapanone inhibits electron transport at Complex III and promotes mitochondrial dysfunction[1].
In Vivo Rapanone (2.5-10 mg/kg; i.p.) exhibits anti-inflammatory effects in the carrageenan paw oedema model in mice[4].
