Application

Carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) has been used:
  • in the inhibition of efflux pump in clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • to inhibit oxidative phosphorylation activity of mitochondria in human Beas-2B bronchial epithelial cells
  • to prepare carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone solution for oxidative and mitochondrial stress assay and mitophagy induction in Caenorhabditis elegans

Biochem/physiol Actions

Carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) induces mitophagy in mammalian cells. CCCP suppresses the expression of few electron transport chain (ETC) proteins. Protonophore (H+ ionophore) and uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. Shown to have a number of effects on cellular calcium. Inhibits secretion of hepatic lipase and partially inhibits the pH gradient-activated Cl- uptake and Cl-/Cl- exchange activities in brush-border membrane vesicles.
