MITOQ

Description

Mitoquinone (444890-40-9) is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant. Displays cardio- and neuroprotective effects.1?Displays beneficial effects in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.2?Mitoquinone protects pancreatic β-cells against oxidative stress and improves insulin secretion.3 Cell permeable.? Mesylate salt (Cat# 10-3914)and mesylate cyclodextrin complex (Cat# 10-3915) are also available.
