In order to study the in vitro effect of flavan-3-ol (+)-catechin on the enzymatic activities of mitochondrial complex I and nitric oxide synthase (mtNOS), as well as the consequences on the membrane potential and H2O2 production rate, isolated mitochondria from rat heart were exposed to 3 nM to 100 μM (+)-catechin. NADH-Q1 reductase (complex I) and mtNOS activities were inhibited 25% and 50%, respectively, by the addition of 10 nM (+)-catechin to the reaction medium. Moreover, in the nM range, (+)-catechin decreased state 4 mitochondrial membrane potential by about 10 mV, but failed to change the membrane potential measured in the presence of ADP.

In this report, we describe the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic characterizations of the fast-relaxing ubisemiquinone (SQ(Nf)) species associated with NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) detected in tightly coupled submitochondrial particles (SMP). The signals of SQ(Nf) are observed only in the presence of delta muH+, whereas other slowly relaxing SQ species, SQ(Ns) and SQ(Nx), are not sensitive to delta muH+. In this study, we resolved the EPR spectrum of the delta muH+-sensitive SQ(Nf), which was trapped during the steady-state NADH-Q1 oxidoreductase reaction, as the difference between coupled and uncoupled SMP.

In this work we describe the synthesis of a series of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles and 2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles connected by means of a methylene bridge to CoQ(0). These compounds were tested as specific inhibitors of the NADH:ubiquinone reductase activity in mitochondrial membranes. The imidazothiazole system when bound to the quinone ring in place of the isoprenoid lateral side chain, may increase the inhibitory effect (with an IC(50) for NADH-Q(1) activity ranging between 0.

Triton X-100 inhibits the NADH oxidase and rotenone-sensitive NADH-Q1 reductase activities of bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) with an apparent Ki of 1x10-5 M (pH 8.0, 25 degrees C). The NADH-hexammineruthenium reductase, succinate oxidase, and the respiratory control ratio with succinate as the substrate in tightly coupled SMP are not affected at the inhibitor concentrations below 0.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe products of six unidentified reading frames of human mitochondrial DNA are precipitated from a mitochondrial lysate by antibodies against highly purified native beef heart NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). These products are enriched greatly in a human submitochondrial fraction enriched in NADH-Q1 and NADH-K3Fe(CN)6 oxidoreductase activities. We conclude that the six reading frames encode components of the respiratory-chain NADH dehydrogenase.
