Toxicity Dose Time Species Model Method Action Positive criterion Reference
MEMBRANE POTENTIAL > 200 µM 30 mins mouse liver mitochondria Rh123 fluorescence (excitation 485 nm, emission 535 nm) are recorded using a fluorescence multi-well plate reader (mCICCP (20 µM) treatments was considered as the 100% baseline for ΔΨm loss) decrease EC20 36
RESPIRATION > 400 µM 60 mins mouse liver mitochondria Oxygen consumption was monitored with 50nM MitoXpress ( an oxygen-sensitive phosphorescent dye) using a spectrofluorimeter (Tecan Infinite 200; λExcitation 380nm; λEmission 650nm). Rotenone (2µM) was used as 100% baseline for complex I inhibition. decrease EC20 36

Oligomycin A (1µM) was used as 100% baseline for complex II inhibition. decrease EC20 36
SWELLING > 400 µM 30 mins mouse liver mitochondria swelling assay: Absorbance at 545 nm using a fluorescence multi-well plate reader (CaCl2 (50 µM) was considered as the 100% baseline for the swelling ) increase EC20 36
