Products Often Used Together with MitoQ (Mitoquinone) Mesylate

Visomitin (SKQ1)

It specifically targets the mitochondrial matrix and is highly effective at limiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, along with Visomitin (SKQ1).

Trolox

It completely inhibits mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, whereas Trolox only partially inhibits mitochondrial lipid peroxidation in pretreated hepatocytes.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
mitochondria [1]
ROS [1]
In vitro

Mitoquinone blocks H2O2-induced intracellular ROS responses inmurine pancreatic acinar cells. Mitoquinone does not reduce mitochondrial depolarisation induced by either cholecystokinin (CCK) or bile acid TLCS. Mitoquinone increases basal and CCK-induced cell death in a plate-reader assay.[1]

In vivo

In a TLCS-induced AP model Mitoquinone treatment is not protective. In AP induced by caerulein hyperstimulation (CER-AP), Mitoquinone exerts mixed effects. Thus, partial amelioration of histopathology scores is observed but without reduction of the biochemical markers pancreatic trypsin or serumamylase. Lungmyeloperoxidase and interleukin-6 are concurrently increased by Mitoquinone in CER-AP. Mitoquinone causes biphasic effects on ROS production in isolated polymorphonuclear leukocytes, inhibiting an acute increase but elevating later levels.[1]
