Mitochondrial complex I and complex III have common inhibitors with ubiquinone-like structure. The tridecyl analog of stigmatellin, which inhibits mitochondrial complex III at nanomolar concentrations, also inhibits the NADH: ubiquinone reductase activity of complex I at micromolar concentrations. The inhibitor titer depends upon the concentration of the mitochondrial particles and extrapolates to 0.2 μM at zero particle concentration. The stigmatellin analog is more powerful than its parent compound and is noncompetitive with exogenous ubiquinone, rotenone and piericidin.Myxothiazol, which is another potent inhibitor of complex III, is also found to inhibit the activity of complex I with a titer comparable to that of the tridecyl analog of stigmatellin. Additionally, piericidin, which is the most powerful inhibitor of complex I, inhibits the ubiquinol: cytochromecreductase activity of complex III at micromolar concentrations in mitochondrial particles and atsubmicromolar concentrations in the isolated enzyme complex.
