UK-5099 is a mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 50nM for inhibiting pyruvate-dependent O2 consumption[1]. UK-5099 is an α-cyanocinnamate derivative that blocks pyruvate entry into mitochondria, impairs mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and triggers aerobic glycolysis[2]. UK-5099 can increase glutamate oxidation and prevent excitotoxic neuronal death[3].
In vitro, UK-5099 (25, 50µM) treatment of bone marrow-derived macrophages for 30min dose-dependently reduced the formation of the adaptor protein apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC)[4]. UK-5099 (40, 80µM) treatment of microglia significantly reduced the nuclear signal intensity of NF-κB and NF-IL6 in cells[5]. UK-5099 (10-150µM) treatment of 832/13 cells dose-dependently inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in cells[6].
In vivo, UK-5099 (3mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into mice bearing non-small cell lung cancer xenografts and synergized with syrosingopine to inhibit tumor growth[7].

Protocol
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) |
Preparation Method | BMDMs isolated from ASC reporter mice (ASCcitrine BMDMs) were plated on chamber slides at 1×106/mL. Cells were primed the following day with LPS for 3h. After washing with PBS, cells were treated with 25µM or 50µM UK-5099 for 30min, followed by stimulation with nigericin for 1h. The cells were then washed with ice-cold PBS three times and fixed for 15min in fixation solution consisting of 4% PFA in PBS. After three times washing with PBST, nuclei were stained with DAPI. Images were captured using a laser-scanning confocal microscopy. |
Reaction Conditions | 25, 50µM; 30min |
Applications | ASC fluorescence was evenly distributed in resting macrophages, and the formation of dense specks was evident after stimulation with LPS plus nigericin. UK-5099 dose-dependently reduced the formation of ASC specks. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Balb/c nude mice |
Preparation Method | 5×106 PC-9 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the Balb/c nude mice. Once the tumor volumes reached 50mm3, the mice were divided into four groups, each consisting of six mice: Control (PBS), Syrosingopine (7.5mg/kg), UK-5099 (3mg/kg), and a combination of Syrosingopine and UK-5099. Treatments, including Syrosingopine, UK-5099, or PBS, were administered to the mice through intraperitoneal injections continuously for 14 days. Throughout this period, observations were diligently made, recording the tumor volume and weight for subsequent analysis. |
Dosage form | 3mg/kg for 14 days; i.p. |
Applications | In vivo inhibition of tumor growth by the combination of Syrosingopine and UK-5099. |
