What is DNP?
DNP (2,4-Dinitrophenol — mitochondrial proton uncoupler) is a Small molecule C₆H₄N₂O₅, MW 184.1. Lipophilic proton carrier crossing the inner mitochondrial membrane and dissipating the H⁺ gradient — uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis. Energy released as heat (thermogenesis) proportional to dose. Increases metabolic rate dramatically. Extremely narrow therapeutic margin — lethal in overdose. Research use only.
