QUICK LINKS

Decylubiquinone inhibits the Ca2+-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP), with a maximum effect on Ca2+ retention capacity of rat liver mitochondria at 100 μM. It also inhibits etoposide-induced apoptosis in L929 cells at 5 μM. It does not, however, inhibit respiration. Additionally, decylubiquinone blocks reactive oxygen species production in response to glutathione depletion.
