Application

α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid has been used to block monocarboxylate transporters.
α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid is a useful hydrophobic matrix solution for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Antibiotics, peptide nucleic acids (a new class of DNA mimics), and proteins with masses as high as 66,000 Da have been successfully analyzed by using this as a matrix solution.

Biochem/physiol Actions

α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid acts as a specific inhibitor of monocarboxylic acid transport, including lactate and pyruvate transport. It is also reported to block β-cell apical anion exchange (IC50 of 2.4 mM).

Aerobic Glycolysis and the Warburg Effect

We presents an article about the Warburg effect, and how it is the enhanced conversion of glucose to lactate observed in tumor cells, even in the presence of normal levels of oxygen. Otto Heinrich Warburg demonstrated in 1924 that cancer cells show an increased dependence on glycolysis to meet their energy needs, regardless of whether they were well-oxygenated or not.
