Problems solved by technology

Degradation of dermal extracellular matrix, which is composed primarily of type I collagen, impairs the structural integrity of the skin, and is largely responsible for the thin, wrinkled appearance of aged and photoaged skin.
Unfortunately, these homeostatic defenses, although highly effective, have limited capacity and can be overwhelmed, thereby leading to increased ROS in the skin that can foster the development of dermatological diseases.
CoQ10, however, is a physiologically untargeted compound that generally exhibits poor bioavailability, at least in part due to its high degree of hydrophobicity, making it difficult to achieve protective levels of CoQ10 antioxidant activity at sites of oxidative damage.
As an untargeted antioxidant, however, idebenone lacks the ability to deliver high local concentrations of antioxidant activity to tissue, cellular and subcellular sites where oxidative damage may be occurring.
Highly reactive free radicals that have the potential for damaging cells and tissues may result from altered or defective mitochondrial activity, including but not limited to failure at any step of the ETC.
These free radicals may include reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide, peroxynitrite and hydroxyl radicals, and potentially other reactive species that may be toxic to cells.

MitoQ10 Mesylate Suppresses ROS And Collagenase Production by Human Skin Fibroblasts in an In Vitro Skin Aging Model

[0128]In photoaged human skin in vivo, skin wrinkling was accompanied by elevated collagenase levels that stimulated collagen fragmentation and ROS production. This Example describes an in vitro model of skin collagen fragmentation that was created and tested for the effects of antioxidant compounds. Materials and methods for preparing three-dimensional extracellular matrix (ECM) collagen lattices, for culturing skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes thereupon, and for treating such matrices with, and characterizing the effects on them of, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been described (see, e.g., Pilcher et al., 1997 J. Cell Biol. 137:1445; Hotary et al., 2000 J. Cell Biol. 149:1309; Netzel-Arnett et al., 2002 J. Biol. Chem. 277:45154; Fisher et al., 2002 Arch Dermatol. 138:1462; Kang et al., 2003 J. Invest.

MitoQ10 Mesylate Suppresses UV Irradiation-Induced Activation Of ERK in Human Keratinocytes

[0131]Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation causes skin photoaging and has been reported to activate mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signal transduction pathways. (Fisher et al., 1998 J. Clin. Invest. 101:1432; Kang et al., 2003 J. Invest. Dermatol. 120:835). The mechanism of UV activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in such pathways remains unknown, although a role for ROS has been implicated (Xu et al., 2006 Am. J. Pathol. 169:823; Xu et al., 2006 J. Biol. Chem. 281:27389). This Example describes an in vitro model of UV-induced signal transduction in human keratinocytes. Publications describing exemplary materials and methods that were adapted to perform these experiments include e.g., Pilcher et al., 1997 J. Cell Biol. 137:1445; Hotary et al., 2000 J. Cell Biol. 149:1309; Netzel-Arnett et al., 2002 J. Biol. Chem. 277:45154; Fisher et al., 2002 Arch Dermatol. 138:1462; Kang ...
