Z16078526 enhances thermogenesis in mice by inducing endogenous Ucp1 expression, promoting p38 MAPK phosphorylation, and stimulating lipolysis in primary mouse brown adipocytes. Additionally, it activates thermogenic gene expression and mitochondrial activity, specifically uncoupled respiration, in these cells.
6-Benzylthioinosine, a broad-spectrum metabolic inhibitor, inhibits glucose uptake, decreases glycolysis and ATP concentration with minimal changes in ROS and mitochondrialrespiration.
Hexafluoro is an inhibitor of DRP1 phosphorylation. Honokiol DCA stimulates a phenotype suggestive of respiration through mitochondrial normalization and demonstrates activity in Vemurafenib-resistant melanoma in vivo.

Dichloroacetate (DCA) is an inhibitor of all pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) isoforms, which are enzymes that phosphorylate and inhibit PDH in mitochondria. Inhibition of PDHK shifts cell metabolism from glycolysis to mitochondrial glucose oxidation, an effect that has relevance to cancer, type 2 diabetes, and other diseases. CAY10703 is a DCA trimer that is at least 10-fold more cytotoxic against leukemia cell lines than DCA. It is approximately 3-fold less cytotoxic than DCA against peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy blood donors. CAY10703 significantly reduces both basal and maximal respiration in leukemia cells. It is stable in vivo after subcutaneous inoculation, remaining in circulation for more than five hours after injection.
Antimycin A4 is an active component of the antimycin A antibiotic complex that is more polar than antimycin A1 , antimycin A2 , and antimycin A3 . Antimycin A4 inhibits ATP-citrate lyase with a Ki value of 64.8 μM. The antimycin A complex is a mixture of antimycins A1, A2, A3, and A4 that demonstrates antifungal, insecticidal, nematocidal, and piscicidal properties. It blocks mitochondrialrespiration and can deplete cellular levels of ATP via inhibition of complex III of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). Antimycin A prevents the transfer of electrons between the b-cytochromes and ubiquinone at the Q(inner) site of complex III. This results in the stabilization of the ubisemiquinone radical at the Q(outer) site of complex III, leading to increased production of superoxide. Antimycin A is widely used in research to shunt electron flow through the ETC to study the chemical details of oxygen respiration. Additionally, antimycin A has been shown to inhibit Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL proteins, inducing apoptosis.
Piericidin B is a bacterial metabolite that has been found inS. mobaraensisand has insecticidal and antimicrobial activities.1,2,3It inhibits NADH oxidase activity in isolated bovine heart mitochondria and inhibits respiration in isolated rat liver mitochondria and isolated cockroach (P. americana) muscle mitochondria.2,3Topical application of piericidin B (4 μg insect) induces mortality in 87.5% of houseflies (M. domestica).1It induces 93.3, 100, and 100% mortality in rice stem borer (C. simples), silkworm (B. mori), and green caterpillar (P. rapae) larvae, respectively, when applied at respective concentrations of 60, 4.8, and 96 μg larva. Piericidin B is active against the fungiT. asteroides,T. rubrum,M. gypseum, andC. neoforms(MICs = 20, 10, 20, and 2 μg ml, respectively), as well as the bacteriaM. luteusandP. vulgaris(MICs = 50 and 100 μg ml, respectively). 1.Takahashi, N., Suzuki, A., Kimura, Y., et al.Isolation, structure and physiological activities of piericidin B, natural Insecticide produced by a StreptomycesAgr.

Picoxystrobin, a prominent primary strobilurin fungicide, is extensively utilized for efficient plant disease management. By obstructing electron transfer at the Qo center of cytochrome b and c1, picoxystrobin effectively halts mitochondrialrespiration[1].
