Oligomycin D is a macrolide antibiotic produced by several species of Streptomyces that inhibits the mitochondrial F1FO-ATPase and is used to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation from electron transport. Oligomycin D is reported to inhibit K-Ras plasma membrane localization in MDCK cells with an IC50 value of 3.49 nM and is cytotoxic to SW620 colon cancer cells with an IC50 value of 36 μM.
Oligomycin D is an inhibitor of mitochondrial F1F0-ATPase.
Oligomycin D (rutamycin) is macrocyclic lactone belonging to the oligomycin class but identified from different species of Streptomyces in 1961. Like oligomycin A, oligomycin D inhibits mitochondrial F1F0-ATPase and is an important bioprobe to study the organisation of ATPase on the mitochondrial membrane. Oligomycin D exhibits a broad biological profile including antifungal, antitumor and nematocidal activities.
