Application

MitoTEMPO has been used as a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MitoTEMPO is a mitochondrially targeted antioxidant, a specific scavenger of mitochondrial superoxide. MitoTEMPO is a combination of the antioxidant piperidine nitroxide TEMPO with the lipophilic cation triphenylphosphonium, giving MitoTEMPO the ability to pass through lipid bilayers with ease and accumulate several hundred-fold in mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress contribute to a variety of disorders involving cardiovascular, kidney, liver disorders, Parkinson′s and Alzheimer′s disease.
