General description

Piericidin A, an antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces mobaraensis, features a 4-pyridinol core linked with a methylated polyketide side chain, closely resembling coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) in structure.

Application

Piericidin A solution may be used as a control agent for soft rot disease in potato tubers and to evaluate its effects on the expression of virulence genes in Erwinia carotovora. It may also be used as an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I to study its effects on gluconeogenesis and glucose-lowering mechanisms in the context of metformin and other guanides/biguanides in both in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Piericidin A is a potent irreversible inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Piericidin A potently binds to ubiquinone binding sites in both mitochondrial and bacterial forms of the enzyme. Piericidin A exerts its inhibitory effects by binding to the ubiquinone binding site of complex I, effectively blocking the translocation of protons across the mitochondrial membrane.
