Ubidecarenone

DB09270ApprovedInvestigationalNutraceuticalSmall molecule

Ubidecarenone is a cofactor found in various dietary supplements. Ubidecarenone, also called coenzyme Q10, is a 1,4-benzoquinone.

Mechanism: Ubidecarenone is an essential cofactor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Its functions are the acceptance of electrons from the complex I and II and this activity is vital for the production of ATP. It acts as a mobile redox agent shuttling electrons and protons in the electron transport chain. Ubidecarenone also presents antioxidant activity in mitochondria and cellular membranes, protecting against peroxidation of lipid membranes as well as inhibiting oxidation of LDL-cholesterol.
