Description

MITOKIT-CII.jpg

Cell permeable prodrugs, composed of MitoKit-CII/Succinate-nv and MitoKit-CII/Malonate-nv, stimulates (Snv) or inhibits (Mnanv) mitochondrial respiration in CI-deficient human blood cells, fibroblasts and heart fibres, acting on Complex II of the electron transfer system.

  • A joint publication is planned, which will summarize the scientific results and experience with the MitoKit-CII compounds, and specifically explain the new SUIT-protocols and limitations of application of the MitoKit-CII compounds.

Preparation

Both compounds are dissolved in DMSO and stored up to 1 week at room temperature or up to 4 months for MitoKit-CII/Succinate-nv and up to 6 months for MitoKit-CII/Malonate-nv at -20 Β°C.
We recommend the following dilutions for reaching the desired concentration in the experiments:

Limitations

General: all prodrugs (Snv and Mnanv) have some limitations:
  1. Possibility for variable cell penetration through the plasma membrane of living cells in different cell types.
  2. Possibility for limitation in the speed of intracellular release.
  3. Possibility for prodrug molecule toxicity.
  4. Possibility for prodrug byproduct toxicity.
  5. Depending on the release mechanism - the possibility of ATP requirements or other cellular depletion caused by prodrug metabolism.
Specific
  • Snv (NV118) and Mnanv (NV161) exert inhibitory effects on mitochondrial respiration at high concentrations, particularly >1 mM, other than the specific inhibition of CII by Mnanv after intracellular release. At Oroboros we observed inhibition of respiration in permeabilized cells by both prodrugs, and inhibition of isolated mouse heart mitochondria by Mnanv. Therefore, do not use concentrations >500 Β΅M in respiratory assays, and always consider potentially inhibitory side effects.
  • Snv and Mnanv are plasma unstable. This will likely be the case for all prodrugs of succinate that will be suitable for in vitro use. The experience at Abliva is that very plasma stable prodrugs release succinate very slowly intracellularly.
  • In addition, at Abliva we have recently experienced another issue that could affect the use of these prodrugs in a rotenone-induced lactate assay and we suggest formulating the limitation for Snv this way: "Snv is a prodrug of succinate for in vitro use with the main application to deliver succinate to living cells in respiratory (oxygen consumption) protocols. Upon intracellular prodrug hydrolysis, formaldehyde is released which, at high concentration, has an inhibitory effect on glycolysis (Tiffert et al 1984). For in vitro experiments dependent on glycolysis and lactate production as an output measure, Snv should be carefully titrated to improve mitochondrial respiration without inhibiting glycolysis, which could be evidenced by restored lactate production following downstream (of CII) inhibition of the electron transfer system (using antimycin A).”


SUITbrowser question: Permeable succinate/malonate

The cell permeable prodrugs Succinate-nv and Malonate-nv can help to answer questions related to the S-pathway in living cells. Use the SUITbrowser to find the best protocol to answer this and other research questions.
