    Description

    UK-5099 (PF-1005023) is a potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC). UK-5099 (PF-1005023) inhibits pyruvate-dependent O2 consumption with an IC50 of 50 nM.

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 50 nM (MPC)[1]

    In Vitro

    The trypanosomal pyruvate carrier is found to be rather insensitive to inhibition by alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate (Ki=17 mM) but can be completely blocked by UK-5099 (Ki=49 microM)[2]. UK-5099 also inhibits the monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) [3]. UK5099 significantly inhibits the glucose-stimulated rise in oxygen consumption in a dose-dependent manner and at 150 μM reduced oxygen consumption below basal levels. UK5099 reduces ATP levels and increases ADP and AMP levels in 832/13 cells[4]. The UK5099 treated cells show significantly higher proportion of side population fraction and express higher levels of stemness markers Oct3/4 and Nanog. UK5099 application may be an ideal model for Warburg effect studies[5].

    In Vivo

    The MPC inhibitor UK5099 increases the glucose excursion seen during an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test in C57BLK mice[4].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.67 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.67 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [4]

    The 832/13 cell line is used for experiments. Cell viability is measured using CellTiter Blue. The assay is based on cellular reduction of resazurin to resorufin. Appearance of resorufin is monitored by fluorescence emission at 585 nm using a Spectramax M5 microplate reader with excitation at 555 nm. For UK5099-treated cells, cells are allowed to recover for 1 h before measuring cell viability. Data are expressed as -fold relative to no treatment or siCtrl[4].

    MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Administration
    [4]

    C57BLK mice are fasted for 16 h prior to glucose challenge. UK5099 (32 μmol/kg of body weight) or DMSO in PBS is injected into the intraperitoneal cavity 30 min before injecting glucose (1.5 mg of glucose/g of body weight). Blood glucose levels are measured at 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 120 min after glucose injection[4].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
