General description

2-Bromooctanoic acid is an effective substitute for the expensive (2,000 times) and cell-growth-inhibiting polyhydroxyalkanoic acid synthesis inhibitor, cerulenin. It blocks the formation of polyhydroxyalkanoic acid in Pseudomonas fluorescens BM07 without any influence on the cell growth when grown on fructose. It inhibits β-oxidation of fatty acids in perfused rat liver and in mitochondria isolated from rat liver.

Incubation of rat liver mitochondria with 10 microM DL-2-bromooctanoate causes complete and irreversible inactivation of 3-ketothiolase I (acyl-CoA:acetyl-CoA C-acyltransferase). Evidence is presented that mitochondria convert bromooctanoate to 2-bromo-3-ketooctanoyl-CoA, an alpha-haloketone which is probably the active form of the inhibitor. The
