Bongkrekic acid solution
Bongkrekic acid solution (CAS: 11076-19-0, Formula: C28H38O7, MW: 486.60) is a potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT). Derived from the bacterium Pseudomonas cocovenenans, this solution is primarily utilised in biochemical research for studying mitochondrial function, apoptosis, and energy metabolism. Its specific inhibitory action makes it a valuable tool for probing cellular energy pathways and associated disease mechanisms.

Mitochondrial Respiration Studies
Used to investigate the role of adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) in mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. Bongkrekic acid effectively blocks the exchange of ADP and ATP across the inner mitochondrial membrane, allowing researchers to isolate specific components of the electron transport chain.
Apoptosis Research
Serves as a tool to induce or study the mechanisms of apoptosis, particularly those pathways involving mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization. By disrupting mitochondrial function, it can trigger programmed cell death, aiding in the understanding of cellular survival and death signaling.
Cellular Energy Metabolism Analysis
Investigates the intricate balance of cellular energy production and consumption. Its inhibitory effect on ANT helps elucidate the dependence of various cellular processes on mitochondrial ATP output.
