Idebenone Decreases Aβ Pathology by Modulating RAGE/Caspase-3 Signaling and the Aβ Degradation Enzyme NEP in a Mouse Model of AD

Hyun-ju Lee et al.

Summary: The study found that idebenone can modulate the pathology of Alzheimer's disease in 5xFAD mice through various pathways, including reducing Aβ plaque numbers, increasing Aβ degradation enzyme and alpha-secretase levels, and suppressing tau kinase levels, suggesting its therapeutic potential for AD.

Plasma idebenone monitoring in Friedreich's ataxia patients during a long-term follow-up

Abraham J. Paredes-Fuentes et al.

Summary: This study aimed to report plasma idebenone values in a cohort of Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) patients during long-term follow-up. The results showed marked variations in idebenone levels among patients, with no consistent positive effect observed after analysis of paired data. Additionally, a correlation was found between some cardiological measures and the duration of idebenone therapy at high doses.

Felix Tonagel et al.

Summary: The study investigated two cohorts of LHON patients, with one receiving no medication and the other receiving a daily dose of 900 mg idebenone. The findings suggest that idebenone may improve vision in some LHON patients, with three out of seven patients in the treated cohort experiencing visual acuity recovery.

Idebenone: When an antioxidant is not an antioxidant

Nuri Gueven et al.

Summary: Idebenone is widely described as an antioxidant drug, but there is a significant discrepancy between its pharmacokinetics and achievable tissue levels in target tissues, casting doubt on our current understanding. A new framework has been proposed based on recent discoveries to explain its mode of action, providing a rational approach for testing its effects in novel indications.

Cytoprotective Effects of Punicalagin on Hydrogen-Peroxide-Mediated Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells

Maria Elisabetta Clementi et al.

Summary: The study indicates that punicalagin (PUN) from pomegranate can effectively protect against mitochondrial dysfunction, reduce oxidative stress, and decrease cellular apoptosis in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. This suggests that PUN may serve as a beneficial nutraceutical agent in treating oxidation-associated disorders of RPE.

Functions and Diseases of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium

Song Yang et al.

Summary: The retinal pigment epithelium is crucial for visual functions, but damage to its structure and function can lead to various retinopathies with no cure currently available. Understanding the development, function, and pathobiology of the retinal pigment epithelium is essential for preventing and treating retinopathies. This review discusses potential strategies for treatment and provides new perspectives for future research in this field.

The Relationship between Mitochondria and Neurodegeration in the Eye: A Review

Hongtao Liu et al.

Summary: Mitochondria are crucial energy producers in cells, and their dysfunction can impact cell function, potentially leading to neurodegenerative diseases in the eye. Research on mechanisms of mitochondrial damage, repair post-injury, and their roles in various eye tissues have implications for treating glaucoma by reducing damage and promoting repair.
