Popis: Summary Using high-throughput screening we identified small molecules that suppress superoxide and/or H 2 O 2 production during reverse electron transport through mitochondrial respiratory complex I (site I Q ) without affecting oxidative phosphorylation (suppressors of site I Q electron leak, "S1QELs"). S1QELs diminished endogenous oxidative damage in primary astrocytes cultured at ambient or low oxygen tension, showing that site I Q is a normal contributor to mitochondrial superoxide-H 2 O 2 production in cells. They diminished stem cell hyperplasia in Drosophila intestine in vivo and caspase activation in a cardiomyocyte cell model driven by endoplasmic reticulum stress, showing that superoxide-H 2 O 2 production by site I Q is involved in cellular stress signaling. They protected against ischemia-reperfusion injury in perfused mouse heart, showing directly that superoxide-H 2 O 2 production by site I Q is a major contributor to this pathology. S1QELs are tools for assessing the contribution of site I Q to cell physiology and pathology and have great potential as therapeutic leads.
