The relationship between the rate of endogenous respiration and the energy-dependent accumulation of iron and calcium was studied in rat liver mitochondria energized by external ATP and inhibited to a variable extent by rotenone.
Experimental evidence is presented that a primary event of the energy-linked uptake of iron is that Fe (III) is bound to ligands on the C-side of the inner membrane, ligands which have a unique microenvironment giving the metal a half-reduction potential which is sufficiently high to establish a oxidation-reduction equilibrium with the respiratory chain at the level of cytochrome c.

These facts and results of inhibitor analysis suggest that the action site of CV-2619 is NADH-linked complex I in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and is different from that of inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation such as rotenone, oligomycin and 2,4-dinitrophenol.
CV-2619 (10 (-5) M) strongly inhibited both types of the lipid peroxidation reactions and protected the resultant inactivation of the NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity.

Arch Biochem Biophys. 1993 Jun;303(2):474-82.

Succinate-dependent mitochondrial MTT reduction was inhibited by 80% with chlorpromazine, 70% by antimycin A, and 85-90% by thenoyltrifluoracetone (TTFA), but inhibition was not observed with rotenone at < or = 2 microM, Amytal, or azide.
These results suggest that when succinate is used as an electron donor, 70-80% of mitochondrial MTT reduction occurs subsequent to transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to cytochrome oxidase, but prior to the point of azide inhibition.

Rotenone, but not antimycin or oligomycin, prevented this effect, indicating that electron transport in complex I, rather than F (1) F (0)-ATPase activity, had been responsible for maintenance of DeltaPsi (m) by the substrates.
Thus, tubule cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation can have persistent energy deficits associated with complex I dysfunction for substantial periods of time before onset of the mitochondrial permeability transition and/or loss of cytochrome c.

Certain indocarbocyanine, thiacarbocyanine, and oxacarbocyanine dyes possessing short alkyl side-chains (one to five carbons) are potent inhibitors of mammalian mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone reductase (EC 1.6.99.3) activity (Anderson et al., Biochem Pharmacol 41: 677-684, 1991; Anderson et al., Biochem Pharmacol 45: 691-696, 1993; Anderson et al., Biochem Pharmacol 45: 2115-2122, 1993), and act similarly to rotenone.
In contrast to previous studies, the long alkyl side-chain carbocyanines exhibited a broad spectrum of inhibition of respiratory chain activity, affecting either oxidation of all three substrates or of NADH and cytochrome c, rather than specific inhibition of mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone reductase activity, indicating that there could be multiple binding sites for these compounds.

Primary TM cultures were treated with one of the following mitochondrial respiratory chain inhibitors: rotenone (ROT, complex I inhibitor), thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA, complex II inhibitor), myxothiazol or antimycin A (MYX, AM-complex III inhibitors); mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) inhibitor cyclosporine A (CsA); and antioxidants vitamin E (Vit E) or N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
ROT induces a further increase in ROS production, the release of cytochrome c, and decreases in ATP level and Delta Psi m in GTM cells, eventually leading to apoptosis.

Among the other respiratory chain inhibitors, antimycin A (a complex III inhibitor) and chlorpromazine inhibited cellular XTT reduction, and rotenone and malonate showed slight inhibition and no effect, respectively.
It is suggested that XTT reduction is coupled with the respiratory chain via cytochrome c, which is located between complexes III and IV (cytochrome oxidase).
