5-azido-1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid (5-N3-BTA), a new derivative of 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTA) has been synthesised in satisfactory overall yields (25percent).This azido compound inhibits the transport of citrate either in mitochondria or in reconstituted partially purified tricarboxylate carrier, both in the dark and upon irradiation.However, the inhibition is nearly completely supressed after washing the mitochondria, indicating that upon irradiation 5-N3-BTA does not form a covalent bond with the citrate-binding site of the tricarboxylate transport system.
