BMX-001 is a third-generation, cationic, lipophilic, manganese (Mn), and porphyrin-based mimetic of the human mitochondrial manganese superoxidedismutase (MnSOD). It also has antioxidant and potential chemoprotective activities.
Ochratoxin A-13C20is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of ochratoxin A by GC- or LC-MS. Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin that has been found inAspergillusandPenicillium.1It increases lipid peroxide levels and the number of apoptotic cells, as well as reduces superoxidedismutase activity in rat kidney when administered at a dose of 120 μg kg.2Topical application of ochratoxin A (80 μg mouse) induces DNA damage, cell cycle arrest at the G0 G1phase, and apoptosis in mouse skin cells.1It also initiates tumor formation in a two-stage mouse skin tumorigenesis model. Ochratoxin A has been found as a contaminant in a variety of foods.3
MitoTEMPO is a mitochondria-targeted superoxidedismutase mimetic that possesses superoxide and alkyl radical scavenging properties.[1] This compound combines the antioxidant piperidine nitroxide TEMPO with the lipophilic cation triphenylphosphonium, which allows it to pass through lipid bilayers and accumulate in mitochondria. Mitochondrial targeting of superoxide scavenging via mitoTEMPO has been examined for potential therapeutic benefit to a variety of mitochondrial dysfunctions arising from excessive reactive oxygen species.[2][3][4]
