Idebenone, a well-appreciated mitochondrial protectant, exhibits protective efficacy against neurotoxicity and can be used for the research of Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease. Idebenone (oxidised form) has a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the enzymatic metabolism of arachidonic acid in astroglial homogenates (IC₅₀=16.65 μM). Idebenone, a coenzyme Q10 analog and an antioxidant, induces apoptotic cell death in the human dopaminergic neuroblastoma SHSY-5Y cells. Idebenone quickly crosses the blood-brain barrier.

In Vitro

Idebenone, a compound with protective efficacy against neurotoxicity both in in vitro and in in vivo models, exists in two different oxidative states: the ubiquinol-derivative (reduced idebenone) and the ubiquinone-derivative (oxidised idebenone)^[1].
Idebenone (oxidised form) preferentially inhibits cyclooxygenase vs. lipoxygenase metabolism (IC₅₀ ratio lipoxygenase/cyclooxygenase: 3.22)^[1].
Idebenone (oxidised form) behaves similarly as indomethacin and piroxicam—two typical anti-inflammatory agents^[1].
Idebenone (oxidised form) inhibits total arachidonic acid metabolism, cyclooxygenase metabolism, lipoxygenase metabolism, lipoxygenase/cyclooxygenase with IC₅₀s of 16.65±3.48, 14.44±2.99, 46.51±7.20, and 3.22 μM^[1].
Idebenone (1-10 μM; for 24-72 h) has no effect on the cell viability of SHSY-5Y cells^[2].
Idebenone (25 μM or higher concentrations; for 24-72 h) shows significant reduction in cell viability of SHSY-5Y cells^[2].
Idebenone (30 μM) induces up-regulation of BAX expression and the caspase-3 activity^[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
