Abstract:
The effect of anthracycline antibiotics on the activity of the partially purified and reconstituted tricarboxylate carrier system of the rat liver mitochondria was studied. It was found that the citrate/citrate exchange activity is inhibited by Br-daunomycin and with less potency by doxorubicin, daunomycin, epirubicin and idarubicin. The inhibition of the citrate transport activity is concentration and time-dependent. Cardiolipin protects against the inhibition by Br-daunomycin and the reconstituted citrate transport activity depends upon the ratio of cardiolipin/Br-daunomycin.
