Background:

Target: ATP synthase

GI50: 270 nM

Oligomycin complex is a mixture of oligomycins A, B, and C. Oligomycin A is a selective inhibitor of ATP synthase, which can inhibit oxidative phosphorylation and all the ATP-dependent processes occurring on the coupling membrane of mitochondria, and induces apoptosis in a variety of cell types. Oligomycin B is a nonselective inhibitor of ATP synthases, which can reduce the rate of ATP depletion in myocardial ischemia.

In Vitro: In A549, H1299, H1975, H520, 786-0, H838, and U87mG cancer cell lines, 100 ng/ml Oligomycin could completely inhibit OXPHOS phosphorylation activity and stimulate various levels of glycolysis gains [1]. Besides, 5 μg/ml Oligomycin could inhibit the F0 part of H+-ATP-synthase, and strongly suppress cytochrome c release and apoptosis in Hela cells induced by TNF [2]. Furthermore, Oligomycin could inhibit mitochondrial respiration, and sensitize melanoma cells to cisplatin treatment to inhibit cell invasion [3].

In Vivo: no data available.

Clinical trial: no data available.
