MYXOTHIAZOL Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Myxothiazol has been used in as a mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) inhibitor in P19 murine embryonal carcinoma pluripotent cell line and to treat HeLa cells for integrated stress response activation.

Definition

ChEBI: A 2,4'-bi-1,3-thiazole substituted at the 4-position with a (1E,3S,4R,5E)-7-amino-3,5-dimethoxy-4-methyl-7-oxohepta-1,5-dien-1-yl] group and at the 2'-position with a (2S

Biochem/physiol Actions

Myxothiazol, an antibiotic with activity against fungi and insects, is a strong inhibitor of mitochondrial cytochrome b/c1-segment of respiratory chain. Myxothiazol binds to the quinol oxidation (Qo) site of the bc1 complex, blocking electron transfer to the Rieske iron-sulfur protein in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Oxygen consumption blockage leads to a cytostatic effect that could be reversed. Myxothiazol, as other Epothilones, which are known for their anti tumor activity, contains a thiazole ring that is formed by the incorporation of cysteine into the polyketide backbone.
