Mitochondria-targeted cationic antioxidant plastoquinonyl decyltriphenylphosphonium (SkQ1) added to drinking water in therapeutic doses (250 nmol/kg per day) for a long time (up to 24 months) does not induce cytochromes P450 in rat liver.

Mitochondrial antioxidant SkQ1 attenuates C26 cancer-induced muscle wasting in males and improves muscle contractility in female tumor-bearing mice.

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol

Article Synopsis
  • Mitochondrial problems are linked to cancer cachexia, a condition causing muscle wasting in cancer patients.
  • Researchers tested a special antioxidant called SkQ1 in mice to see if it could help reduce muscle loss caused by cancer.
  • The results showed that SkQ1 helped male mice maintain muscle, while it had mixed effects on female mice—helping their muscle performance but not preventing muscle loss.

Mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQ1 did not increase the content of cytochromes P450 in livers of rats that were given SkQ1 in drinking water for 5 days in a dose (2.5 µmol per kg body weight) that exceeded 10 times the SkQ1 therapeutic dose. SkQ1 did not affect the levels of cytochrome P450 forms CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4 in monolayer cultures of freshly isolated human hepatocytes, while specific inducers of these forms (omeprazole, phenobarbital, and rifampicin, respectively) significantly increased expression of the cytochromes P450 under the same conditions.

The mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQ1 (10-(6'-plastoquinonyldecyl)triphenylphosphonium) is a new pharmaceutical substance with a wide spectrum of effects including increase in lifespan of laboratory animals (for example, of BALB/c mice males) and inhibition of development of some experimental tumors and also of tumor cell growth. In this work, the effects of SkQ1 on development of spontaneous tumors in female and male BALB/c mice housed in an SPF-class vivarium were studied. We found that the addition of SkQ1 to drinking water at the dose of 1 and 30 nmol/kg body weight per day throughout the lifespan modified the spectrum of spontaneous tumors in the female mice, decreasing the incidence of follicular lymphomas.

Therapeutic doses of SkQ1 do not induce cytochromes P450 in rat liver.

The effect of SkQ1 (a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant) on the level of cytochromes P450 in rat liver was studied. It was found that administration of therapeutic dose of SkQ1 with drinking water for 5 days (250 nmol/kg of body weight per day) did not alter the level of cytochromes P450. Under the same conditions, the standard dose of phenobarbital used for the induction of cytochromes P450 caused the 2.
