Description

2-Benzylamino-acetamide is a non-competitive inhibitor of the mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme complex, cytochrome c oxidase. This inhibition leads to decreased production of ATP and increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. 2-Benzylamino-acetamide has been incubated with rat brain mitochondria, where it showed detectable activity against both the dehydrogenase and oxidases. 2-Benzylamino-acetamide has also been shown to inhibit pentyl death in human liver cells, which may be due to its affinity for aromatic residues.
