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.

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

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

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
