    Abstract:
    The effects on mitochondrial respiration and complex I NADH oxidase activity of cubebin and derivatives were evaluated. The compounds inhibited the state 3 glutamate/malate-supported respiration of hamster liver mitochondria with IC(50) values ranging from 12.16 to 83.96 microM. NADH oxidase reaction was evaluated in submitochondrial particles. The compounds also inhibited this activity, showing the same order of potency observed for effects on state 3 respiration, as well as a tendency towards a non-competitive type of inhibition (K(I) values ranging from 0.62 to 16.1 microM). A potential binding mode of these compounds with complex I subunit B8, assessed by docking calculations, is proposed.
