MRP-S34 Activators

1,1-Dimethylbiguanide, Hydrochloride and AICAR, primarily known for their role in energy metabolism, activate AMPK, leading to enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and, consequently, the production of mitochondrial proteins. Bezafibrate and pioglitazone, through their modulation of PPAR signaling, exert regulatory effects on lipid and glucose metabolism, which are intrinsically linked to mitochondrial function and the synthesis of mitochondrial components, including ribosomal proteins. Resveratrol and sulforaphane act through different mechanisms-SIRT1 and Nrf2, respectively-to promote mitochondrial biogenesis and exert protective effects on mitochondrial integrity. These actions not only favor the maintenance of mitochondrial function but also may bolster the production and activity of proteins essential for mitochondrial ribosomes. Similarly, curcumin and EGCG, with their broad-spectrum influence on cellular signaling and gene expression, can create an intracellular milieu that supports the health and activity of mitochondrial proteins.

Antioxidants like N-acetylcysteine and alpha-lipoic acid contribute to the protection of mitochondrial components from oxidative damage, thus preserving their functionality, including that of the mitochondrial ribosomal proteins. The role of carnitine is crucial for fatty acid transport into mitochondria, a process vital for ATP production and overall mitochondrial activity, which underscores the synthesis and function of mitochondrial proteins. Additionally, retinoic acid, with its capacity to regulate gene expression, might also play a role in modulating the production of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins.
