UK-5099
UK-5099 is a potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier [1].
The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) facilitates pyruvate transport across the mitochondrial inner membrane and plays a critical role in carbohydrate, lipid and amino acid metabolism.
UK-5099 (1 mM) completely blocked pyruvate uptake with Ki value of 49 μM. Also, UK-5099 decreased the overall efflux rate in a concentration-dependant way [1]. In mitochondria isolated from S. Guttatum, UK-5099 (20 μM) inhibited pyruvate-dependent 02 consumption [2].
In rat heart mitochondria, UK-5099 inhibited pyruvate oxidation with a non-linear inhibition kinetics [2]. In glucagon-treated rats, UK-5099 inhibited pyruvate carboxylation and total pyruvate metabolism with a linear relationship [3]. In rat liver and heart mitochondria, UK-5099 inhibited pyruvate-dependent 02 consumption with IC50 value of 50 nM [4].

Cell experiment:[1] | |
Cell lines |
832/13 cells derived from INS-1 rat insulinoma cells |
Reaction Conditions |
50 ~ 150 μM UK-5099 for 30 ~ 65 min incubation |
Applications |
UK-5099 significantly inhibited the glucose-stimulated rise in oxygen consumption in a dose-dependent manner and at 150 μM reduced oxygen consumption below basal levels. Moreover, UK-5099 (150 μM) reduced ATP levels and increased ADP and AMP levels in 832/13 cells. |
Animal experiment:[1] | |
Animal models |
C57BLK mice |
Dosage form |
32 μmol/kg Injected intraperitoneally 30 min before the glucose challenge |
Applications |
UK-5099 caused a significantly greater glucose excursion at 30, 60, and 120 min as compared with DMSO control mice. The area under the curve was also significantly increased by UK-5099 as compared with DMSO control mice. Thus, UK-5099 resulted in impaired glucose tolerance in vivo. |
