Natural antibiotic polyene amides such as myxalamides are potent inhibitors of mitochondrial complex I. Because of the significant instability of this series of compounds due to an extended pi-conjugation skeleton, a detailed characterization of their inhibitory action has not been performed. To elucidate the action mechanism as well as binding manner of polyene an-tides with complex 1, identification of the roles of each functional group in the inhibitory action is needed. We here synthesized a series of amide analogues and carried out structure-activity studies with bovine heart mitochondrial complex I. With respect to the left-hand portion, the natural pi-conjugation skeleton common to many natural products is not required for the inhibition and can be substituted with a simpler substructure such as a conjugated diene. The geometry and shape of the left-hand portion were shown to be important for the inhibition, suggesting that this portion may bind to a narrow hydrophobic pocket in the enzyme rather than merely partitioning into the lipid membrane phase. Concerning the right-hand portion of the inhibitor, the presence of the 2-methyl, amide NH, and (S)-1'-methyl groups was crucial for the activity, suggesting that both methyl groups neighboring the amide group finely adjust the hydrogen-bonding ability of the amide group. in contrast, modifications of the 2'-OH group did not significantly influence the activity, suggesting that the role of this functional group is not to serve as a hydrogen bond donor to the enzyme but to act as a hydrophilic anchor directing the right-hand portion at or near the membrane surface. Detailed characterization of the action mechanism indicated that the polyene amides share a common binding domain with other complex I inhibitors, though their binding position (or manner) within the domain may differ considerably from that of other inhibitors.
