Applications

Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier inhibitor;  cell impermeable

Functions

Potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC). Rapidly increases glucose uptake in human monocytes. Attenuates mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and increases glycolysis creating greater stem-like properties in LnCap prostate cancer cells. Blocks the neuroprotective action of L-lactate or pyruvate during glutamate-induced excitotoxicity. Inhibits pyruvate transport across the plasma membrane of trypanosomes (Ki=49 μM).

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 30 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to 8 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or ethanol may be stored at -20°C for up to 1 month.

Research use only.
