Methods for improving mitochondrial function, decreasing iron accumulation, and/or decreasing oxidative stress by exposing cells or treating a subject to compounds or compositions of the general formula
are described that are beneficial in treating, for example, diseases and conditions such as Friedreich's ataxia, normal aging, and various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, such compounds are useful as probes for identifying defects in mitochondrial metabolism, mitochondrial iron accumulation, cellular stress among other mitochondrial diseases and helping to identify compounds active in overcoming such defects.
通过暴露细胞或治疗受试者以一般公式化合物或组合物,描述了改善线粒体功能、减少铁积累和/或减少氧化应激的方法,这些方法有益于治疗例如弗里德雷希共济失调、正常衰老以及各种神经退行性疾病如阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病等疾病。此外,这些化合物可用作探针,用于识别线粒体代谢缺陷、线粒体铁积累、细胞应激以及其他线粒体疾病,并有助于识别能够克服这些缺陷的活性化合物。
