A comparison has been made of the effect of 1H,2H,4H(5H)-octafluorocyclohexane, which is highly toxic (LD(50) 17mg./kg. in rats), and of 1H,4H(2H)-nonafluorocyclohexane, which is relatively non-toxic (LD(50)&gt;440mg./kg. in rats), on the respiration of rat liver homogenates and mitochondria in vitro. 1H,2H,4H(5H)-Octafluorocyclohexane strongly inhibited the respiration of both homogenates and mitochondria, but neither compound had any significant effect on glycolysis or on glutamate dehydrogenase or NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. 1H,2H,4H(5H)-Octafluorocyclohexane, however, caused a very marked inhibition of cytochrome oxidase activity, causing an almost complete lesion in this region of the respiratory chain. 1H,4H(2H)-Nonafluorocyclohexane was without effect in this respect. A marked decrease in turbidity of mitochondrial suspensions at 520nm. was caused by addition of both compounds, the effect being greater with 1H,2H,4H(5H)-octafluorocyclohexane. ATP, Mg(2+) and bovine serum albumin did not reverse these changes. Mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase activity was increased twofold by the toxic compound, but only slightly by the non-toxic compound. Electron-microscopic examination of mitochondria treated with 1H,2H,4H(5H)-octafluorocyclohexane revealed gross morphological damage, whereas the effect of 1H,4H(2H)-nonafluorocyclohexane appeared to be merely to cause swelling. The results obtained account, to some extent at any rate, for the toxic effects of 1H,2H,4H(5H)-octafluorocyclohexane.
