Mitochondrial dysfunction has long been associated with neurodegenerative disease. Therefore, mitochondrial protective agents represent a unique direction for the development of drug candidates that can modify the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration. This review discusses evidence showing that mitochondrial dysfunction has a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We also debate the potential therapeutic efficacy of metabolic antioxidants, mitochondria-directed antioxidants and Szeto-Schiller (SS) peptides. Since these compounds preferentially target mitochondria, a major source of oxidative damage, they are promising therapeutic candidates for neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, we will briefly discuss the novel action of the antihistamine drug Dimebon on mitochondria.
长期以来,线粒体功能障碍一直与神经退行性疾病相关。因此,线粒体保护剂代表了一类独特的候选药物开发方向,这类药物可以改变神经退行性变的发病机制。本综述讨论了相关证据,这些证据表明线粒体功能障碍在阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病、亨廷顿病和肌萎缩侧索硬化症的发病机制中起核心作用。我们还对代谢抗氧化剂、线粒体靶向抗氧化剂和泽托-席勒(SS)肽的潜在治疗效果进行了讨论。由于这些化合物优先靶向氧化损伤的主要来源——线粒体,它们有望成为治疗神经退行性疾病的候选药物。此外,我们将简要讨论抗组胺药二甲金刚胺对线粒体的新作用。
