Due to the non-reversible mechanism of action of BI01383298, a pre-incubation of 30 minutes is required to achieve maximal inhibition of cellular uptake of citrate.
Of note, using kinetic analysis of citrate uptake inhibition, the authors show that BI01383298 has a non-competitive mechanism of action. However, they also propose and modeled binding of the compound in the citrate binding site, which is in contradiction.
Also of note, while BI01383298 was shown to inhibit citrate uptake in an irreversible manner, no data supporting a covalent interaction were provided and the irreversibility can be due to a variety of factors, which should be further studied to increase our understanding of the mechanism of action of BI01383298 and our confidence as a tool compound to study NaCT biology
