The present invention is directed to a TOMM6 (Translocase of Outer Membrane 6kDa subunit homologue; Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM6 homolog)-interacting plant or fungal extract comprising an anthraquinone or anthraquinone derivative, a TOMM6-interacting anthraquinone or anthraquinone derivative, and TOMM6-interacting compounds for use in the treatment or prophylaxis of a nervous system disease, atherosclerosis, Hepatitis B infection and/or human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a corresponding method of therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of a nervous system disease or disorder, atherosclerosis, Hepatitis B infection and/or human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, as well as to a method for the identification of a TOMM6-interacting compound or composition. Also, the present invention provides a non-human transgenic animal expressing a transgenic, preferably human TOMM6 or a TOMM6 homolog.
