MitoTEMPOL
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
MitoTEMPOL is a mitochondria-targeted superoxide scavenger. MitoTEMPOL accumulates in mitochondria via membrane potential and locally scavenges superoxide anions. MitoTEMPOL alleviates hepatic oxidative stress and alterations in genes related to autophagy in STZ (HY-13753)-induced diabetic models. MitoTEMPOL inhibits diaphragmatic mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of proteolytic pathways in sepsis models. MitoTEMPOL also alleviates AGEs (HY-NP165)-induced ferritinophagy-dependent ferroptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. MitoTEMPOL is used in research related to diabetes, sepsis, and vascular endothelial ferroptosis.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
MitoTEMPOL (10 mg/l; 24 h) eliminates cytokine-induced superoxide production in C2C12 myocytes[2].
MitoTEMPOL (pretreatment for 1 h) scavenges ROS and alleviates AGEs (HY-NP165)-induced ferroptosis and ferritinophagy in HUVECs[3].
MitoTEMPOL (10 mg/l; 24 h) prevents cytokine-induced reduction in C2C12 myotube width[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
MitoTEMPOL (10 mg/kg; i.p.; administered twice, after surgery and 24 h later) prevents sepsis-induced diaphragmatic weakness, mitochondrial dysfunction, proteolytic enzyme activation, and myosin heavy chain loss[2].
MitoTEMPOL (10 mg/kg; i.p.; administered immediately after surgery or with the first injection delayed until 6 h post-surgery (followed by a second injection 24 h later)) is as effective as immediate injection in preventing sepsis-induced diaphragm weakness[2].
MitoTEMPOL (10 mg/kg; i.p.; administered at the time of CLP induction) blocks the early decrease in aconitase activity and prevents the late activation of proteases in the septic diaphragm[2].

Increased BNIP3 gene expression 1.28-fold in this compound-only group compared with control.
Increased BNIP3 gene expression 1.26-fold in STZ + this compound group compared with STZ and 1.32-fold compared with control.
Increased Mfn1 gene expression 1.36-fold in this compound-only group compared with control and 1.21-fold compared with STZ group.
Increased Mfn1 gene expression 1.26-fold in STZ + this compound group compared with STZ and 1.23-fold compared with control.

Dosage:10 mg/kg

Administration:i.p.; after surgery and again at 24 hours
-
Result:Blocked the sepsis-induced reduction in diaphragm strength, with force at 50 Hz averaging 27.0 N/cm2 for CLP + this compound versus 12.6 N/cm2 for CLP.
Maintained diaphragm force at the end of repetitive contraction trials at 12.6 versus 4.0 for CLP.
Prevented CLP-induced reductions in mitochondrial function, increasing state 3 oxygen consumption, RCR, and ATP production rates to levels significantly higher than for CLP septic animals.
Completely prevented CLP-induced increases in diaphragm calpain activity (355% increase in CLP), caspase 3 activity (352% increase in CLP), and 20S proteasome activity (226% increase in CLP).
Prevented the sepsis-induced reduction in diaphragm myosin heavy chain levels.

Administration:i.p.; at 6 hours after surgery and again at 24 hours after surgery
-
Result:Prevented sepsis-induced loss of diaphragm strength, with diaphragm specific force generation for CLP + delayed this compound groups significantly higher than levels for the CLP group.
Showed similar findings for force measurements during repetitive contraction trials, with force at every time point similar for delayed and immediate this compound groups, and both significantly higher than CLP animals.
