Synthesis of Triphenylphosphonium-Linked Derivative of 3,5-Di tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylidene-malononitrile (SF6847) via Knoevenagel Reaction Yields an Effective Mitochondria-Targeted Protonophoric Uncoupler. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:11551-11561.

Abstract
Mitochondrial uncouplers are actively sought as potential therapeutics. Here, we report the first successful synthesis of mitochondria-targeted derivatives of the highly potent uncoupler 3,5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylidene-malononitrile (SF6847), bearing a cationic alkyl(triphenyl)phosphonium (TPP) group. As a key step of the synthesis, we used condensation of a ketophenol with malononitrile via the Knoevenagel reaction. SF-C5-TPP with a pentamethylene linker between SF6847 and TPP, stimulating respiration and collapsing membrane potential of rat liver mitochondria at submicromolar concentrations, proved to be the most effective uncoupler of the series. SF-C5-TPP showed pronounced protonophoric activity on a model planar bilayer lipid membrane. Importantly, SF-C5-TPP exhibited rather low toxicity in fibroblast cell culture, causing mitochondrial depolarization in cells at concentrations that only slightly affected cell viability. SF-C5-TPP was more effective in decreasing the mitochondrial membrane potential in the cell culture than SF6847, in contrast to the case of isolated mitochondria. Like other zwitterionic uncouplers, SF-C5-TPP inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis in the micromolar concentration range.

Abstract
One potential approach for treating obesity is to increase energy expenditure in brown and white adipose tissue. Here we aimed to achieve this outcome by targeting mitochondrial uncoupler compounds selectively to adipose tissue, thus avoiding side effects from uncoupling in other tissues. Selective drug accumulation in adipose tissue has been observed with many lipophilic compounds and dyes. Hence, we explored the feasibility of conjugating uncoupler compounds with a lipophilic C8-hydrocarbon chain via an ether bond. We found that substituting the trifluoromethoxy group in the uncoupler FCCP with a C8-hydrocarbon chain resulted in potent uncoupling activity. Nonetheless, the compound did not elicit therapeutic effects in mice, likely as a consequence of metabolic instability resulting from rapid ether bond cleavage. A lipophilic analog of the uncoupler compound 2,6-dinitrophenol, in which a C8-hydrocarbon chain was conjugated via an ether bond in the para-position (2,6-dinitro-4-(octyloxy)phenol), exhibited increased uncoupling activity compared to the parent compound. However, in vivo pharmacokinetics studies suggested that 2,6-dinitro-4-(octyloxy)phenol was also metabolically unstable. In conclusion, conjugation of a hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain to uncoupler compounds resulted in sustained or improved uncoupling activity. However, an ether bond linkage led to metabolic instability, indicating the need to conjugate lipophilic groups via other chemical bonds.

Abstract
Given that mitochondrial dysregulation is a biomarker of many cancers, cationic quaternary phosphonium salt (QPS) conjugation is a widely utilized strategy for anticancer drug design. QPS-conjugated compounds exhibit greater cell permeation and accumulation in negatively charged mitochondria, and thus, show enhanced activity. Phylogenetic similarities between mitochondria and bacteria have provided a rationale for exploring the antibacterial properties of mitochondria-targeted compounds. Additionally, due to the importance of mitochondria in the survival of pathogenic microbes, including fungi and parasites, this strategy can be extended to these organisms as well. This review examines recent literature on the antimicrobial activities of various QPS-conjugated compounds and provides future directions for exploring the medicinal chemistry of these compounds.

Abstract
Triphenylphosphonium ylides are commonly used as key intermediates in the Wittig reaction. Based on the known acidities of stabilized ylide precursors, we proposed that a methylene group adjacent to phosphorus in these compounds can ensure proton shuttling across lipid membranes. Here, we synthesized (decyloxycarbonylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (CMTPP-C10) by reaction of triphenylphosphine with decyl bromoacetate. This phosphonium salt precursor of the ester-stabilized phosphorus ylide along with its octyl (CMTPP-C8) and dodecyl (CMTPP-C12) analogues was found to be a carrier of protons in mitochondrial, chloroplast and artificial lipid membranes, suggesting that it can reversibly release hydrogen ions and diffuse through the membranes in both zwitterionic (ylide) and cationic forms. The CMTPP-C10-mediated electrical current across planar bilayer lipid membranes exhibited pronounced proton selectivity. Similar to conventional protonophores, known to uncouple electron transport and ATP synthesis, CMTPP-Cn (n = 8, 10, 12) stimulated mitochondrial respiration, while decreasing membrane potential, at micromolar concentrations, thereby showing the classical uncoupling activity in mitochondria. CMTPP-C12 also caused dissipation of transmembrane pH gradient on chloroplast membranes. Importantly, CMTPP-C10 exhibited substantially lower toxicity in cell culture, than C12TPP. Thus, we report the finding of a new class of ylide-type protonophores, which is of substantial interest due to promising therapeutic properties of uncouplers.

Abstract
Pyrrolomycins C (Pyr_C) and D (Pyr_D) are antibiotics produced by Actinosporangium and Streptomyces. The mechanism of their antimicrobial activity consists in depolarization of bacterial membrane, leading to the suppression of bacterial bioenergetics through the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, which is based on the protonophore action of these antibiotics [Valderrama et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. (2019) 63, e01450]. Here, we studied the effect of pyrrolomycins on the isolated rat liver mitochondria. Pyr_C was found to be more active than Pyr_D and uncoupled mitochondria in the submicromolar concentration range, which was observed as the mitochondrial membrane depolarization and stimulation of mitochondrial respiration. In the case of mitoplasts (isolated mitochondria with impaired outer membrane integrity), the difference in the action of Pyr_C and Pyr_D was significantly less pronounced. By contrast, in inverted submitochondrial particles (SMPs), Pyr_D was more active as an uncoupler, which caused collapse of the membrane potential even at the nanomolar concentrations. The same ratio of the protonophoric activity of Pyr_D and Pyr_C was obtained by us on liposomes loaded with the pH indicator pyranine. The protonophore activity of Pyr_D in the planar bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) was maximal at ~pH 9, i.e., at pH values close to pKa of this compound. Pyr_D functions as a typical anionic protonophore; its activity in the BLM could be reduced by the addition of the dipole modifier phloretin. The difference between the protonophore activity of Pyr_C and Pyr_D in the mitochondria and BLMs can be attributed to a higher ability of Pyr_C to penetrate the outer mitochondrial membrane.

Alkyl esters of 7-hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid as potent tissue-specific uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation: Involvement of ATP/ADP translocase in mitochondrial uncoupling. Arch Biochem Biophys 2022; 728:109366. [PMID: 35878680 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2022.109366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
An impressive body of evidence has been accumulated now on sound beneficial effects of mitochondrial uncouplers in struggling with the most dangerous pathologies such as cancer, infective diseases, neurodegeneration and obesity. To increase their efficacy while gaining further insight in the mechanism of the uncoupling action has been remaining a challenge. Encouraged by our previous promising results on lipophilic derivatives of 7-hydroxycoumarin-4-acetic acid (UB-4 esters), here, we use a 7-hydroxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid scaffold to synthesize a new series of 7-hydroxycoumarin (umbelliferone, UB)-derived uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation - alkyl esters of umbelliferone-3-carboxylic acid (UB-3 esters) with varying carbon chain length. Compared to the UB-4 derivatives, UB-3 esters proved to be stronger uncouplers: the most effective of them caused a pronounced increase in the respiration rate of isolated rat heart mitochondria (RHM) at submicromolar concentrations. Both of these series of UB derivatives exhibited a striking difference between their uncoupling patterns in mitochondria isolated from liver and heart or kidney, namely: a pronounced but transient decrease in membrane potential, followed by its recovery, was observed after the addition of these compounds to isolated rat liver mitochondria (RLM), while the depolarization of RHM and rat kidney mitochondria (RKM) was rather stable under the same conditions. Interestingly, partial reversal of this depolarization in RHM and RKM was caused by carboxyatractyloside, an inhibitor of ATP/ADP translocase, thereby pointing to the involvement of this mitochondrial membrane protein in the uncoupling activity of both UB-3 and UB-4 esters. The fast membrane potential recovery in RLM uncoupled by the addition of the UB esters was apparently associated with hydrolysis of these compounds, catalyzed by mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2), being in high abundance in liver compared to other tissues. Protonophoric properties of the UB derivatives in isolated mitochondria were confirmed by measurements of RHM swelling in the presence of potassium acetate. In model bilayer lipid membranes (BLM), proton-carrying activity of UB-3 esters was demonstrated by measuring fluorescence response of the pH-dependent dye pyranine in liposomes. Electrophysiological experiments on identified neurons from Lymnaea stagnalis demonstrated low neurotoxicity of UB-3 esters. Resazurin-based cell viability assay showed low toxicity of UB-3 esters to HEK293 cells and primary human fibroblasts. Thus, the present results enable us to consider UB-3 esters as effective tissue-specific protonophoric mitochondrial uncouplers.

Abstract
Protonophores are compounds capable of electrogenic transport of protons across
membranes. Protonophores have been intensively studied over the past 50 years
owing to their ability to uncouple oxidation and phosphorylation in
mitochondria and chloroplasts. The action mechanism of classical uncouplers,
such as DNP and CCCP, in mitochondria is believed to be related to their
protonophoric activity; i.e., their ability to transfer protons across the
lipid part of the mitochondrial membrane. Given the recently revealed
deviations in the correlation between the protonophoric activity of some
uncouplers and their ability to stimulate mitochondrial respiration, this
review addresses the involvement of some proteins of the inner mitochondrial
membrane, such as the ATP/ADP antiporter, dicarboxylate carrier, and ATPase, in
the uncoupling process. However, these deviations do not contradict the
Mitchell theory but point to a more complex nature of the interaction of DNP,
CCCP, and other uncouplers with mitochondrial membranes. Therefore, a detailed
investigation of the action mechanism of uncouplers is required for a more
successful pharmacological use, including their antibacterial, antiviral,
anticancer, as well as cardio-, neuro-, and nephroprotective effects.

Abstract
Pioglitazone (PIO) is an insulin-sensitizing antidiabetic drug, which normalizes glucose and lipid metabolism but may provoke heart and liver failure and chronic kidney diseases. Both therapeutic and adverse effects of PIO can be accomplished through mitochondrial targets. Here, we explored the capability of PIO to modulate the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and the permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening in different models in vitro. ΔΨm was measured using tetraphenylphosphonium and the fluorescent dye rhodamine 123. The coupling of oxidative phosphorylation was estimated polarographically. The transport of ions and solutes across membranes was registered by potentiometric and spectral techniques. We found that PIO decreased ΔΨm in isolated mitochondria and intact thymocytes and the efficiency of ADP phosphorylation, particularly after the addition of Ca2+. The presence of the cytosolic fraction mitigated mitochondrial depolarization but made it sustained. Carboxyatractyloside diminished the PIO-dependent depolarization. PIO activated proton transport in deenergized mitochondria but not in artificial phospholipid vesicles. PIO had no effect on K+ and Ca2+ inward transport but drastically decreased the mitochondrial Ca2+-retention capacity and protective effects of adenine nucleotides against mPTP opening. Thus, PIO is a mild, partly ATP/ADP-translocase-dependent, uncoupler and a modulator of ATP production and mPTP sensitivity to Ca2+ and adenine nucleotides. These properties contribute to both therapeutic and adverse effects of PIO.

Abstract
Trialkyl phosphonium derivatives of vinyl-substituted p-chlorophenol were synthesized here by a recently developed method of preparing quaternary phosphonium salts from phosphine oxides using Grignard reagents. All the derivatives with a number (n) of carbon atoms in phosphonium alkyl substituents varying from 4 to 7 showed pronounced uncoupling activity in isolated rat liver mitochondria at micromolar concentrations, with a tripentyl derivative being the most effective both in accelerating respiration and causing membrane potential collapse, as well as in provoking mitochondrial swelling in a potassium-acetate medium. Remarkably, the trialkyl phosphonium derivatives with n from 4 to 7 also proved to be rather potent antibacterial agents. Methylation of the chlorophenol hydroxyl group suppressed the effects of P555 and P444 on the respiration and membrane potential of mitochondria but not those of P666, thereby suggesting a mechanistic difference in the mitochondrial uncoupling by these derivatives, which was predominantly protonophoric (carrier-like) in the case of P555 and P444 but detergent-like with P666. The latter was confirmed by the carboxyfluorescein leakage assay on model liposomal membranes.

Abstract
Appending lipophilic cations to small molecules has been widely used to produce mitochondria-targeted compounds with specific activities. In this work, we obtained a series of derivatives of the well-known fluorescent dye 7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD). According to the previous data [Denisov et al. (2014) Bioelectrochemistry, 98, 30-38], alkyl derivatives of NBD can uncouple isolated mitochondria at concentration of tens of micromoles despite a high pKa value (~11) of the dissociating group. Here, a number of triphenylphosphonium (TPP) derivatives linked to NBD via hydrocarbon spacers of varying length (C5, C8, C10, and C12) were synthesized (mitoNBD analogues), which accumulated in the mitochondria in an energy-dependent manner. NBD-C10-TPP (C10-mitoNBD) acted as a protonophore in artificial lipid membranes (liposomes) and uncoupled isolated mitochondria at micromolar concentrations, while the derivative with a shorter linker (NBD-C5-TPP, or C5-mitoNBD) exhibited no such activities. In accordance with this data, C10-mitoNBD was significantly more efficient than C5-mitoNBD in suppressing the growth of Bacillus subtilis. C10-mitoNBD and C12-mitoNBD demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity among the investigated analogues. C10-mitoNBD also exhibited the neuroprotective effect in the rat model of traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
To gain insight into the mechanisms of ionophoric activity of usnic acid (UA), we examined the UA-induced generation of potentials on a planar bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) in the presence of concentration gradients of hydrogen and magnesium or calcium ions under open-circuit conditions. Remarkably, the BLM potential generated by UA at the proton concentration gradient of 1 pH unit was approximately twice the Nernst equilibrium level. With a concentration gradient of magnesium or calcium ions, the BLM potential generated by UA had the opposite sign. The observed anomalies in the membrane potentials were consistent with a theory developed by Markin and Sokolov (Bioelectrochem. Bioenerg. 1990) for the case of ionophore-mediated coupled fluxes of several ions across a membrane.

Abstract
Textbooks of biochemistry will explain that the otherwise endergonic reactions of ATP synthesis can be driven by the exergonic reactions of respiratory electron transport, and that these two half-reactions are catalyzed by protein complexes embedded in the same, closed membrane. These views are correct. The textbooks also state that, according to the chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis, a (or the) kinetically and thermodynamically competent intermediate linking the two half-reactions is the electrochemical difference of protons that is in equilibrium with that between the two bulk phases that the coupling membrane serves to separate. This gradient consists of a membrane potential term Δψ and a pH gradient term ΔpH, and is known colloquially as the protonmotive force or pmf. Artificial imposition of a pmf can drive phosphorylation, but only if the pmf exceeds some 150-170mV; to achieve in vivo rates the imposed pmf must reach 200mV. The key question then is 'does the pmf generated by electron transport exceed 200mV, or even 170mV?' The possibly surprising answer, from a great many kinds of experiment and sources of evidence, including direct measurements with microelectrodes, indicates it that it does not. Observable pH changes driven by electron transport are real, and they control various processes; however, compensating ion movements restrict the Δψ component to low values. A protet-based model, that I outline here, can account for all the necessary observations, including all of those inconsistent with chemiosmotic coupling, and provides for a variety of testable hypotheses by which it might be refined.

Abstract
The synthesis of a mitochondria-targeted derivative of the classical mitochondrial uncoupler carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) by alkoxy substitution of CCCP with n-decyl(triphenyl)phosphonium cation yielded mitoCCCP, which was able to inhibit the uncoupling action of CCCP, tyrphostin A9 and niclosamide on rat liver mitochondria, but not that of 2,4-dinitrophenol, at a concentration of 1–2 μM. MitoCCCP did not uncouple mitochondria by itself at these concentrations, although it exhibited uncoupling action at tens of micromolar concentrations. Thus, mitoCCCP appeared to be a more effective mitochondrial recoupler than 6-ketocholestanol. Both mitoCCCP and 6-ketocholestanol did not inhibit the protonophoric activity of CCCP in artificial bilayer lipid membranes, which might compromise the simple proton-shuttling mechanism of the uncoupling activity on mitochondria.

Abstract
Small molecules capable of uncoupling respiration and ATP synthesis in mitochondria are protective towards various cell malfunctions. Recently (2-fluorophenyl){6-[(2-fluorophenyl)amino](1,2,5-oxadiazolo[3,4-e]pyrazin-5-yl)}amine (BAM15), a new compound of this type, has become popular as a potent mitochondria-selective depolarizing agent producing minimal adverse effects. To validate protonophoric mechanism of BAM15 action, we examined its behavior in bilayer lipid membranes (BLM). BAM15 proved to be a typical anionic protonophore with the activity on planar membranes being suppressed upon decreasing membrane dipole potential. In both planar BLM and liposomes, BAM15 induced proton conductance with the potency close to that of the classical protonophoric uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP). In isolated rat liver mitochondria (RLM), BAM15 caused membrane potential collapse, increased respiration rate and induced Ca2+ efflux at concentrations slightly higher than those for CCCP. Surprisingly, the uncoupling action of BAM15 on isolated RLM, in contrast to that of CCCP, was partially reversed by carboxyatractyloside (CATR), an inhibitor of adenine nucleotide translocase, thereby indicating involvement of this protein in the BAM15-induced uncoupling. BAM15 inhibited growth of Bacillus subtilis at micromolar concentrations. In electrophysiological experiments on molluscan neurons, BAM15 caused plasma membrane depolarization and suppression of electrical activity, but the effect developed more slowly than that of CCCP.

A Comparative Study of the Action of Protonophore Uncouplers and Decoupling Agents as Inducers of Free Respiration in Mitochondria in States 3 and 4: Theoretical and Experimental Approaches. Cell Biochem Biophys 2020; 78:203-216.

Abstract
Theoretical and experimental studies have revealed that that in the liver mitochondria an increase in the rate of free respiration in state 3 induced by protonophore uncouplers 2,4-dinitrophenol and сarbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone is equal to or slightly greater than the increase in respiration rate in state 4 induced by these uncouplers. In contrast to these protonophore uncouplers, the decoupler α,ω-tetradecanedioic acid, increasing the rate of respiration in state 4, does not significantly affect the rate of free respiration in state 3. We have proposed quantitative indicators that allow determining the constituent part of the rate of respiration in state 4, associated with the decoupling effect of the uncoupler. Using the example of palmitic acid, we have found out the fundamental possibility of the simultaneous functioning of uncouplers by two mechanisms: as protonophores and as decouplers. The data obtained contradict the delocalized version of Mitchell's chemiosmotic theory, but are in complete agreement with its local version. It can be assumed that the F0F1-ATP synthase and nearby respiratory chain complexes form a local zone of coupled respiration and oxidative ATP synthesis (zones of oxidative phosphorylation). The uncoupler-induced stimulation of mitochondrial free respiration of mitochondria in state 3 is mainly due to the return of protons to the matrix in local zones, where the generation of a proton motive force (Δр) by respiratory chain complexes is associated with various transport processes, but not with ATP synthesis (zones of protonophore uncoupling). In contrast, respiratory stimulation in state 4 by decouplers is realized in local zones of oxidative phosphorylation by switching the respiratory chain complexes to the idle mode of operation in the absence of ATP synthesis.

Abstract
2-(2-Hydroxyaryl)alkenylphosphonium salts (here coined as PPR) representing derivatives of quaternary phosphonium with two phenyl (P) and one alkyl (R) substituents linked through alkenyl bridge to substituted phenol were applied here to planar bilayer lipid membranes (BLM), isolated mitochondria, and cell culture. PPR with six carbon atoms in R (PP6) induced proton-selective currents across BLM and caused mitochondrial uncoupling. In particular, PP6 at submicromolar concentrations accelerated respiration, decreased membrane potential, and reduced ATP synthesis in isolated rat liver mitochondria (RLM). Methylation of a hydroxyl group substantially suppressed the protonophoric activity of PP6 on BLM and its uncoupling potency in RLM. Of note, the methylated derivative PP6-OMe was synthesized here via a new synthetic route including cyclization of PP6 with subsequent ring opening. PPR were considered as protonophoric uncouplers of a zwitterionic type, capable of penetrating membranes both as a zwitterion composed of a deprotonated phenol and a cationic quaternary phosphonium, and as a protonated cation. The protonophoric and uncoupling properties of PPR found here were speculated to account for their strong antibacterial activity described previously.
