    Product Description

    MitoTEMPOL is a mitochondria-targeting superoxide dismutase mimetic that reduces mitochondrial O2- to H2O2.1,2 Like the related compound MitoTEMPO (Item No. 16621), MitoTEMPOL combines an antioxidant moiety (here, TEMPOL, also known as 4-hydroxy-TEMPO) with the lipophilic cation triphenylphosphonium, which allows it to pass through lipid bilayers and accumulate in mitochondria.1 MitoTEMPOL has been used to elucidate the role of mitochondria-derived superoxide in mitochondrial, cellular, and whole animal signaling.2,3,4,5,6

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
