Abstract:
:To elucidate the inhibitory action of acetogenins, the most potent inhibitors of mitochondrial complex I, we synthesized an acetogenin analogue which possesses a ubiquinone ring (i.e., the physiological substrate of complex I) in place of the alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-lactone ring of natural acetogenins, and named it Q-acetogenin. Our results indicate that the gamma-lactone ring of acetogenins is completely substitutable with the ubiquinone ring. This fact is discussed in light of the inhibitory action of acetogenins.
