Features of idebenone and related short-chain quinones that rescue ATP levels under conditions of impaired mitochondrial complex I.
Short-chain quinones have been investigated as therapeutic molecules due to their ability to modulate cellular redox reactions, mitochondrial electron transfer and oxidative stress, which are pathologically altered in many mitochondrial and neuromuscular disorders. Recently, we and others described...
