Effect of fifteen sugar derivatives on oxygen uptake and oxidative phosphorylation by liver mitochondria were tested. Full details of the possible mechanism of action of methyl-3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-chloro-2-deoxy-D-arabinofuranoside (VI) was presented. This sugar derivative seems to act as inhibitor of the electron transport in the respiratory chain and as an uncoupler.
