Biochem/physiol Actions

BAM15 increases mitochondrial respiration rate and is also found to be less cytotoxic compared to other protonophore uncouplers such as carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. Hindered oncogenic MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase ) signaling leads to BAM15 induced mitochondrial apoptotic pathway activation.
BAM15 is a cell penetrant and potent uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria that that does not depolarizes the plasma membrane. BAM15 protects mice from acute renal ischemic-reperfusion injury.

Chemical mitochondrial uncouplers are lipophilic weak acids that transport protons into the mitochondrial matrix via a pathway that is independent of ATP synthase, thereby uncoupling nutrient oxidation from ATP production. These uncouplers have potential for the treatment of diseases such

Dysregulation of oxidative phosphorylation is associated with increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production and some of the most prevalent human diseases including obesity, cancer, diabetes, neurodegeneration, and heart disease. Chemical 'mitochondrial uncouplers' are lipophilic weak acids that transport protons into

Cell death in neurodegeneration occurs at the convergence of diverse metabolic pathways. In the retina, a common underlying mechanism involves mitochondrial dysfunction since photoreceptor homeostasis and survival are highly susceptible to altered aerobic energy metabolism. We sought to develop an
