Application

UK-5099 has been used:
  • as a mitochondrial pyruvate blocker to reduce pyruvate transportation into mitochondria in Roswell park memorial institute (RPMI) 1640 medium for prostatic cancer cell line culture
  • in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) stock, to study the effect of inhibiting pyruvate transport into mitochondria on pro-inflammatory responses in lipopolysaccharide activated macrophages
  • in topical treatment in order to study its effect on hair cycle induction in experimental mice

Biochem/physiol Actions

UK-5099 induces lactate generation.
UK-5099 is a potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial pyruvate transporter. In rat heart mitochondria, UK-5099 inhibits pyruvate-dependent O2 consumption with an IC50 of 50 nM.

1. Mitochondria isolated from the thermogenic spadices of Arum maculatum and Sauromatum guttatum plants oxidized external NADH, succinate, citrate, malate, 2-oxoglutarate and pyruvate without the need to add exogenous cofactors. 2. Oxidation of substrates was virtually all via the alternative

Facilitated pyruvate transport across the mitochondrial inner membrane is a critical step in carbohydrate, amino acid, and lipid metabolism. We report that clinically relevant concentrations of thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a widely used class of insulin sensitizers, acutely and specifically inhibit mitochondrial

alpha-Cyano-beta-(1-phenylindol-3-yl)acrylate inhibited pyruvate transport into both liver and heart mitochondria approximately linearly with respect to its concentration until 65% inhibition was achieved. The extent of inhibition was dependent on the mitochondrial protein concentration. By extrapolation of plots of inhibition versus

The inhibitor of mitochondrial pyruvate transport alpha-cyano-beta-(1-phenylindol-3-yl)-acrylate was used to inhibit progressively pyruvate carboxylation by liver mitochondria from control and glucagon-treated rats. The data showed that, contrary to our previous conclusions [Halestrap (1978) Biochem. J. 172, 389-398], pyruvate transport could
