General description

A cell-permeable, stable dichlorosalicylaldehyde Schiff′s base that acts as a potent, selective inhibitor of Mia40/Erv1 redox-mediated import pathway (IC50 = 700 nM, 900 nM, and 1.4 µM for ALR, Erv1, and Erv2, respectively). Significantly reduces the import of CX9 proteins, Erv1, Tim23, and ADP/ATP carrier (AAC). However, it does not affect mitochondrial membrane integrity as evidenced by the lack of aconitase, AAC, Tim54, Mia40, and cytochrome c release. Has no effect on protein disulfide isomerase, flavin adenine dinucleotide, and succinate dehydrogenase activities and does not disrupt mitochondrial net work or reduce viability of cells even at high concentrations (~100 µM in HeLa and HEK293 cells). Reported to specifically cause cytochrome c release, activate caspase-3, and induce apoptosis in human embryonic stem cells (~20 µM), but not in differentiated cells. Reversibly impairs cardiac development and reduces heart rate in zebra fish that is attributed to mitochondrial dysfunction.

The mitochondrial disulfide relay system of Mia40 and Erv1/ALR facilitates import of the small translocase of the inner membrane (Tim) proteins and cysteine-rich proteins. A chemical screen identified small molecules that inhibit Erv1 oxidase activity, thereby facilitating dissection of the
