A large body of evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction has a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple cardiovascular disorders. Over the past 2 decades, extraordinary efforts have been focused on the development of agents that specifically target mitochondria for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Despite such an intensive wave of investigation, no drugs specifically conceived to modulate mitochondrial functions are currently available for the clinical management of cardiovascular disease. In this Review, we discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting mitochondria in patients with cardiovascular disease, examine the obstacles that have restrained the development of mitochondria-targeting agents thus far, and identify strategies that might empower the full clinical potential of this approach.
大量证据表明,线粒体功能障碍在多种心血管疾病的发病机制中起主要作用。在过去的 20 年中,人们集中精力开发专门针对线粒体的药物,以治疗心血管疾病。尽管进行了如此密集的研究,但目前尚无专门用于调节线粒体功能的药物可用于心血管疾病的临床治疗。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了针对心血管疾病患者靶向线粒体的治疗潜力,研究了迄今为止限制线粒体靶向药物开发的障碍,并确定了可能充分发挥这种方法临床潜力的策略。
