Description
4-(Dimethylamino)phenol is a potent cyanide antidote. 4-(Dimethylamino)phenol increases the extracellular lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) without markedly affecting gluconeogenesis. 4-(Dimethylamino)phenol cannot decreases the ATP content until the membrane becomes permeable to LDH. 4-(Dimethylamino)phenol’s toxicity is related to its reaction with glutathione and formation of covalent complexes, leading to impaired cellular function[1][2]
