UK 5099 is a potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) that inhibits pyruvate-dependent oxygen consumption by rat heart mitochondria (IC50 = 50 nM).1 It decreases glucose flux to the TCA cycle and increases production of M6 citrate via glutaminolytic flux through malic enzymes without affecting ATP-linked or uncoupled oxygen consumption in C2C12 myotubes when used at a concentration of 10 mM.2 UK 5099 decreases ATP-linked and uncoupled oxygen consumption in C2C12 myotubes when used in combination with BPTES (Item No. 19284) and/or etomoxir (Item No. 11969).
