title: The design and synthesis of novel inhibitors of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase.
abstract: Potent new inhibitors of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) have been designed, with the help of molecular modelling, by hybridisation of known complex I inhibitors with inhibitors of cytochrome c oxidoreductase. The most interesting compound was the chromone 7 which was a selective inhibitor of complex I (IC(50) 15 nM) and showed acaricidal activity against spider mites.
