Rhodamine 123 accumulates in the mitochondria of living cells and exhibits selective anticarcinoma activity. The biochemical basis of toxicity was investigated by testing the effect of the dye on isolated rat liver mitochondria. Much lower concentrations of rhodamine 123 were required to inhibit ADP-stimulated respiration and ATP synthesis in well-coupled energized mitochondria than were required to inhibit uncoupled respiration and uncoupler-stimulated ATP hydrolysis. The amount of rhodamine 123 associated with the mitochondria was severalfold greater under energized than under nonenergized conditions, which may explain why coupled functions appeared to be more sensitive than uncoupled functions to inhibition at low concentrations of rhodamine 123. Apparently, the site of rhodamine 123 inhibition is most likely the F0F1 ATPase complex and possibly electron transfer reactions as well.
