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.
通过使细胞或治疗对象接触通式化合物或组合物来改善线粒体功能、减少铁积累和/或降低氧化应激的方法
所述方法有益于治疗例如弗里德雷氏共济失调、正常衰老以及阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病等各种神经退行性疾病。此外,这类化合物还可作为探针,用于鉴定线粒体代谢、线粒体铁积累、细胞应激等线粒体疾病的缺陷,并帮助鉴定对克服这些缺陷具有活性的化合物。
