Dinoseb is potentially toxic. Its toxicity stems from its capability to stimulate oxidative metabolism in cell mitochondria by interfering with the normal coupling of carbohydrate oxidation to phosphorylation. This increased oxidative metabolism can lead to fever, increased heart rate, and dehydration, and could ultimately deplete carbohydrate and fat stores. Dinoseb has been found to be relatively ineffective as an inhibitor of electron transfer reactions in the photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides. When administered to rats, derivatives of 2,4-dinitrophenol can affect the electron transport system, inhibit energy metabolism, and decrease the detoxification system of the liver. Dinoseb is thought to enhance metabolic activity by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation and disrupting adenosine triphosphate synthesis, which could potentially result in hyperthermia. In ruminants, Dinoseb can be reduced to an amine, possibly leading to the oxidation of hemoglobin to methemoglobin.
