NADH:Ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) inhibitor Piericidin A1

Date:June 13 2025Web Page No:520084

Piericidin A1 is isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces and known as a specific inhibitor of respiratory chain in electron transport system1). The bioactive compound was reported as “Piericidin A” initially, the detailed structural analysis revealed that the compound actually had 4 different analogues. From this report, the initially identified compound was named as Piericidin A1.2)
It was reported that Piericidin A1 inhibited Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) in the respiratory chain by targeting to the ubiquinone binding site.3, 4) In addition, it is suggested that Piericidin A1 prevents up-regulation of GRP78 and exhibits cytotoxicity in glucose-deprived HT29 cells (etoposide-resistant).5)
