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.

n proliferating cells, the cell cycle consists of four phases. Gap 1 (G1) is the interval between mitosis and DNA replication that is characterized by cell growth. Replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis (S) phase, which is followed by a second gap phase (G2) during which growth and preparation for cell division occurs. Together, these three stages comprise the interphase phase of the cell cycle. Interphase is followed by the mitotic (M) phase.
