Application

Bongkrekic acid solution has been used as an adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) inhibitor to find out a different approach for the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation in intact T98G cells. It has also been used as an inhibitor of the permeabilization transition pore complex (PTPC) pore and a tool to explore the role of PTPC in induction of apoptosis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

An antiapoptotic agent, it protects against NMDA receptor induced neuronal apoptosis,­ extends cell survival in cells undergoing apoptosis following infection with viral vectors and abrogates apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide in T-cells. It is an inhibitor of adenine nucleotide translocase, which is a component of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore complex. Bongkrekic acid prevents mitochondrial depolarization, swelling, rupture of mitochondrial outer membrane, and release of apoptogenic proteins such as cytochrome c. This phenomenon was observed during staurosporine induced apoptosis in Jurkat cells, in HepG2 undergoing apoptosis following TNF-α and ethanol.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Apoptosis

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD), is a selective process for the removal of unnecessary, infected or transformed cells in various biological systems. As it plays a role in the homeostasis of multicellular organisms, apoptosis is tightly regulated through two principal pathways by a number of regulatory and effector molecules.
