Myxothiazol

Description

Inhibitor of CIII (inhibits also CI; G. Lenaz). Myxothiazol binds to the Qo site of Complex III (very close to cytochrome bL) and inhibits the transfer of electrons from reduced QH2 to the Rieske Iron sulfur protein [1].

Abbreviation: Myx

Reference: MiPNet09.12

Application in HRR

Myx: Myxothiazol (Myxothiazol from Myxobacterium myxococcus fulvus, ~95%, HPLC), C25H33N3O3S2); Sigma M 5779, 1 mg, store at 4 °C: FW = 487.7

Caution: Very toxic. Chemical is currently not available 2010-11-22. Alternatively use Antimycin A as a Complex III inhibitor.


Preparation of 5 mM stock solution (dissolved in 99.9% Ethanol):

1) weigh 1 mg of Myxothiazol into a small glass vial
2) add 2.05 ml Ethanol
3) divide into 0.2 ml (use glass vials)
4) store at -20 °C
