General description
Idebenone is a short-chain benzoquinone drug.
Application
Idebenone has been used:
- to treat mutant myocilin (mMYOC) cells for drug treatment assay
- to validate C2C12 secondary cell screening assay
- to treat obese mice, to test whether idebenone and CoQ10 bind directly to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)LBDs, His-tagged PPARα, δ and γ LBDs
Biochem/physiol Actions
