Salicylanilides: a new group of active uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation.
Investigations using housefly mitochondria revealed several salicylanilide derivatives as the most effective uncoupling agents of oxidative phosphorylation reported so far. Even greater inhibition of the associated P(i)-adenosine triphosphate exchange was shown with these compounds in both housefly and rat-liver mitochondria, and close similarity was observed between the two types of organelles.
