Mitochondrial Metabolism

MitoSOX Red is a novel fluorescent probe that is specific and cell membrane-permeable and targets mitochondria in living cells.MitoSOX Red is oxidized by superoxide upon entry into the mitochondria and is not oxidized by other ROS or RNS-generating systems.MitoSOX Red then binds to nucleic acids in the mitochondrion and produces a strong red fluorescence.MitoSOX Red can be used as a fluorescent indicator for the specific detection of superoxide.MitoSOX Red can be used as a fluorescent indicator for the specific detection of superoxide. MitoSOX Red can be used as a fluorescent indicator to specifically detect superoxide. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) prevents the oxidation of MitoSOX Red.

Imeglimin hydrochloride (EMD 387008 hydrochloride) is an oral hypoglycemic agent. Imeglimin improves insulin sensitivity, inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species, increases mitochondrial DNA, and improves mitochondrial function.

Mito-TEMPO, a mitochondria-targeted superoxide dismutase mimetic, scavenges superoxide and alkyl radicals, preventing mitochondrial oxidation, necrosis, and apoptosis.

Rotenone (Rotocide) is a natural product and a botanical insecticide. Rotenone is a mitochondrial electron transport complex I inhibitor that promotes the production of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria and induces apoptosis.

MPP+ iodide, the metabolite of a neurotoxin MPTP, causes symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) in animal models by selectively destroying dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. MPP+ induces dopamine transporter (DAT) externalization in dopaminergic (DA) neurons, but internalization of serotonin transporter (SERT) in serotonergic (5-HT) neurons. MPP+ induces autophagic cell death in SH-SY5Y cells.

Devimistat (6,8-Bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid) , a lipoate analog, inhibits mitochondrial enzymes pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, disrupts tumor cell mitochondrial metabolism. It has potential chemopreventive and antineoplastic activities, and has been used in trials studying the treatment of Cancer, Lymphoma, Solid Tumors, Advanced Cancer, and Pancreatic Cancer, among others.

FCCP (Trifluoromethoxy carbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone) is an oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) inhibitor and mitochondrial proton carrier uncoupler. FCCP is often used as an apoptosis inducer.

(-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is a phenolic antioxidant polyphenol flavonoid found in plants such as green and black tea, which inhibits telomerase and DNA methyltransferase, blocks the activation of EGF receptors and HER-2 receptors, inhibits cellular oxidation, and prevents free radical damage to cells.

UK-5099 (PF-1005023) is a specific and potent inhibitor of MPC carrier activity, effectively inhibiting pyruvate-dependent oxygen consumption in rat heart mitochondria with an IC50 of 50 nM [1].

CCCP (Carbonyl Cyanide m-Chlorophenylhydrazone) is an oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) inhibitor and mitochondrial proton carrier uncoupler. CCCP inhibits the activation of STING and its downstream signaling molecules TBK1 and IRF3.

Gboxin is an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation that targets glioblastoma,inhibits the activity of F0F1 ATP synthase, with antitumour activity.

IMT1 (Propanamide, N,N-dimethyl-2-[[4-(2-methylphenyl)-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-7-yl]oxy]-) has anticancer activity.

IACS-010759 is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of complex I of oxidative phosphorylation of the mitochondrial electron transport chain.

Perhexiline maleate is an orally active inhibitor of CPT1 and CPT2, reducing fatty acid metabolism, with IC50 values of 77 μM and 148 μM against rat heart and liver CPT1, respectively.

BRD6897 is a mitochondrial content inducer that increases the cellular content of mitochondria and induces a significant increase in the electron density of existing mitochondria.

Schaftoside (APIGENIN-6-GLUCOSIDE-8-ARABINOSIDE) has antioxidant and anticancer activity.

Fumarate hydratase-IN-1 is a cell-permeable fumarate hydratase inhibitor with antiproliferative activity and can be used to study cellular activity.

MFI8 is a compound that regulates mitochondrial fission and can be used to study aging.

HQNO is a natural product isolated from P. aeruginosa,and is a potent inhibitor of electron transport chain(Kd of 64 nM for complex III). It also is a potent mitochondrial NDH-2 inhibitorin many species.

McN3716 is a carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-1) inhibitor used for researching metabolic diseases.

(S)-Coriolic acid (13(S)-HODE) is an important intracellular signaling agent generated by the reaction of linoleic acid with plant and mammalian lipoxygenases. It is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation in various biological systems and inhibits the adhesion of tumor cells to the vascular endothelium, while down-regulating IRGpIIb IIIa receptor expression at around 1 μM. Additionally, (S)-Coriolic acid is a metabolite of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) and often acts as an endogenous ligand to activate PPARγ. It induces mitochondrial dysfunction and airway epithelial damage.

BAM 15 is an uncoupler of mitochondrial protonophore.

Afzelin (Kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside) exhibits several cellular activities such as DNA-protective, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and UV-absorbing properties, potentially protecting human skin from UVB-induced damage through a combination of UV-absorbing and cellular actions. Afzelin mitigates mitochondrial damage, promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, and reduces levels of mitophagy-related proteins, parkin and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1.

Adjudin (AF-2364) is a small molecule compound known to possess antispermatogenic function, attenuates microglia activation by suppression of the NF-κB pathway.
