A. UNCOUPLING. • What is “uncoupling”? • What are “uncouplers”? • What are the mechanisms of uncoupling? • How much uncoupling is toxic? • Is a class-independent QSAR model for uncouplers possible? What descriptors should be selected? • What models should be used to test the uncouplers?
Classical definitions: • Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation is a process de-coupling oxygen consumption from ATP production. • Uncouplers: • Stimulate resting respiration. • Decrease ATP yield (P:O ratio). • Activate latent ATPase.

B. Inhibitors of the respiratory chain complexes. • What do they do? – inhibit electron transport thereby suppressing DmH+ generation and stimulating ROS production. • How many are known? – a few hundreds of natural compounds and a gazillion of synthetic chemicals. • Are there some common chemical features in these compounds? – yes and no. • Is their MOA similar? – yes and no. • Is a class-independent QSAR model for the RC inhibitors possible? – Perhaps, but not there yet. • Why it is so? – insufficient knowledge of RC complexes and their structural diversity. • What models should be used to test the RC inhibitors? – isolated mammalian mitochondria.

Future developments toward QSAR model of mitochondrial poisons: 1. Create a realistic biophysical model of the inner mitochondrial membrane; 2. Obtain more detailed information on the molecular structure of mitochondrial proteins targeted by toxins; 3. Create a unified database of mitochondrial toxins and analyze it toward both their molecular properties and the mechanisms of intrinsic activity; 4. Create a good team of researchers with proper expertise (and funding) to develop and validate QSAR models in a relevant biological model (isolated mitochondria) under physiologically meaningful conditions.
