The sesquiterpene lactone, 'parthenin' the toxic principle of the allergenic weed Parthenium hysterophorus, inhibited 'state 3' respiration and stimulated 'state 4' respiration in rat liver and kidney mitochondria as well as ATPase activity in the presence of $Mg^{2+}$ ions. These properties indicate that the toxic action of parthenin may be related to its interference with oxidative phosphorylation.
