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

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
