More Info
Biological target:
MCU-i4 blocks the IP3-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+-uptake, maintaining the gatekeeping role of their target.
In vitro activity:
For this purpose, this study measured mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake speed in cells permeabilized with digitonin and then perfused with 3 μM Ca2+ in the presence of the active molecules (Figure 2C). MCU-i4 and MCU-i11 decreased mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake speed. These results confirm that the selected compounds impinge directly on the MCU complex activity rather than on Ca2+ release from intracellular stores or on cytosolic [Ca2+]. Reference: Cell Rep. 2020 Feb 18;30(7):2321-2331.e6. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32075766/
In vivo activity:
Both MCU-i4 and MCU-i11 inhibited mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in myofibers (Figure 5C). Both compounds decreased myotube width (Figure 5D). These data prove the efficacy of MCU-i4 and MCU-i11 ex vivo and indicate that pharmacological modulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake interferes with an essential biological process.
