Diphenyleneiodonium chloride is a compound extensively used in biochemical research due to its role as an inhibitor of flavoenzymes, particularly NADPH oxidase. It is employed in studies investigating the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their impact on cellular processes. By inhibiting NADPH oxidase activity, diphenyleneiodonium chloride helps researchers to elucidate the mechanisms through which ROS contribute to signaling pathways, oxidative stress, and cellular damage. Additionally, this compound is used to explore the physiological functions of flavoenzymes in various organisms. In the context of environmental research, diphenyleneiodonium chloride is also applied to study the detoxification processes and response to oxidative stress in plants and microorganisms. Its effectiveness in inhibiting electron transport makes it useful for dissecting complex redox processes within cells and tissues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from FeaginsFeagins, et. al. (PubMed ID 18063706) utilized diphenyleneiodonium chloride , an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, in their study of Barrett's esophagus. ROS (reactive oxygen species) was measured after treatment with DPI. The ability of DPI to block ROS production was found to be cell dependent. -SCBT Publication Review
