Product overview
MitoTox™ Complex I OXPHOS Activity Assay (ab109903) is designed for testing the direct inhibitory effect of compounds on Complex I activity in only 5 hours. Complex I extracted from the provided bovine heart mitochondria (a rich source of Complex I) is immunocaptured by specific antibodies on the plate. Complex I activity can be observed as decrease in absorbance at OD 340 nm. The intra-assay and inter-assay variation of this assay are both
Inhibitory effects of compounds on Complex I activity can be tested in two different ways: 1. Screening format, where up to 23 compounds can be tested at a single concentration in triplicate; 2. Dose response (IC50) format, where two compounds known to affect Complex I activity can be tested at 11 different data points in triplicate.
Testing for mitochondrial function has become a key aspect of drug discovery. Mitochondria can be affected by drug treatment, resulting into cardio- and hepatotoxic side effects that can lead to drug withdrawal from the market. Therefore, there is increasing emphasis on testing the impact on mitochondria early on in the drug development process to reduce failure rates during preclinical and clinical phases.

MitoTox™ Complex I OXPHOS Activity Assay (ab109903)
Typical dose response curve for rotenone. Assay was performed following the Dose Response Assay Procedure using rotenone, a well known Complex I inhibitor. Rotenone was prepared in DMSO to generate a 10 mM stock. Starting with a 50 µM final concentration in well, 1:10 serial dilutions of rotenone were generated.
