Omaveloxolone, an Nrf2 activator, improves mitochondrial function, restores redox balance, and reduces inflammation in models of FA.
Omaveloxolone (RTA-408) is a synthetic triterpenoid that activates the cytoprotective transcription factor Nrf2 and inhibits NF-κB signaling. Phase 2.
Mitochondrial mass and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contents were significantly increased in the patient's cells. These results were partially confirmed by the results of oxygen consumption studies which disclosed increased maximal oxygen consumption rates in most cells and increased energy status in all treated cells. Further investigation is required to explore the precise effect of omaveloxolone on mitochondrial function in disease.
Keywords: Omavleoxolone RTA408; Parkinson’s disease; ROS; fibroblasts; mitochondria; mitochondrial disease.
