2,4-dinitrophenol and Weight Reduction

2,4-dinitrophenol has been researched along with Weight Reduction in 9 studies

2,4-Dinitrophenol: A toxic dye, chemically related to trinitrophenol (picric acid), used in biochemical studies of oxidative processes where it uncouples oxidative phosphorylation. It is also used as a metabolic stimulant. (Stedman, 26th ed)
dinitrophenol : Members of the class of nitrophenol carrying two nitro substituents.
2,4-dinitrophenol : A dinitrophenol having the nitro groups at the 2- and 4-positions.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is reported to cause rapid loss of weight, but unfortunately is associated with an unacceptably high rate of significant adverse effects."6.472,4-dinitrophenol (DNP): a weight loss agent with significant acute toxicity and risk of death. ( Dargan, PI; El-Zanfaly, M; Grundlingh, J; Wood, DM, 2011)
" 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an oxidative phosphorylation uncoupling agent that was widely used in the early 1930s for weight loss but was quickly banned by the FDA due to the severe toxicities associated with the compound."4.12Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for 2,4-dinitrophenol. ( Meyer, LF; Rajadhyaksha, PM; Shah, DK, 2022)
"The mitochondrial uncoupling agent 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), historically used as a treatment for obesity, is known to cross the blood-brain-barrier, but its effects on central neural circuits controlling body weight are largely unknown."3.85Mitochondrial uncoupling in the melanocortin system differentially regulates NPY and POMC neurons to promote weight-loss. ( Cowley, MA; Michael, NJ; Simonds, SE; Spanswick, D; van den Top, M, 2017)
"2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is reported to cause rapid loss of weight, but unfortunately is associated with an unacceptably high rate of significant adverse effects."2.472,4-dinitrophenol (DNP): a weight loss agent with significant acute toxicity and risk of death. ( Dargan, PI; El-Zanfaly, M; Grundlingh, J; Wood, DM, 2011)
" These data indicate that dinoseb is teratogenic at maternally toxic doses, but the exposure range of dinoseb at which malformations occur seems to be narrow."1.36Prenatal developmental toxicity of gavage or feeding doses of 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol in rats. ( Ema, M; Fujii, S; Hirose, A; Matsumoto, M, 2010)
