We have synthesized lac-acetogenins that are new acetogenin mimics possessing two n-alkyltails without an ,-unsaturated -lactone ring and suggested that their inhibition mechanism may bedifferent from that of common acetogenins [Hamada et al. (2004) Biochemistry 43, 3651-3658]. Toelucidate the inhibition mechanism of lac-acetogenins in more detail, we carried out wide structuralmodifications of original lac-acetogenins and characterized the inhibitory action with bovine heartmitochondrial complex I. In contrast to common acetogenins, both the presence of adjacent bis-THFrings and the stereochemistry around the hydroxylated bis-THF rings are important structural factors requiredfor potent inhibition. The inhibitory potency of a derivative possessing an n-butylphenyl ether structure(compound 7) appeared to be superior to that of the original lac-acetogenins and equivalent to that ofbullatacin, one of the most potent natural acetogenins. Double-inhibitor titration of steady-state complexI activity showed that the extent of inhibition of compound 7 and bullatacin is not additive, suggestingthat the binding sites of the two inhibitors are not identical. Competition tests using a fluorescent ligandindicated that the binding site of compound 7 does not overlap with that of other complex I inhibitors.The effects of compound 7 on superoxide production from complex I are also different from those ofother complex I inhibitors. Our results clearly demonstrate that lac-acetogenins are a novel type ofinhibitor acting at the terminal electron-transfer step of bovine complex I.
