Description
MitoE10 is a potent mitochondria-targeted antioxidant. Structurally, MitoE10 is a lipophilic triphenylphosphonium cation attached to the antioxidant chroman moiety of vitamin E by a linear C10 carbon linker. itoE. MitoE10 can efficiently accumulate in mitochondria and preliminary biological data demonstrate that MitoE10 shows greater efficacy in preventing lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial oxidative damage and damage to mitochondrial DNA than non-targeted compounds.
